i showed my terminally ill grandpa this movie and ed popped out of the screen and served him a good burger... he still died, however i know now that ed's judgement is final, every tragedy that has happened to this point was ed's perfectly thought out plan, a plan that needed to run its course for the good burger restaurant to be established. everything from Adams first sin, to 9/11, needed to occur for good burgers to grace our lives.... all necessary evils in my eyes.
