This talk of rewarding fans and rewarding Bennet is kinda goofy. The fans have been rewarded with a far better season than 90 per cent of them could have anticipated. And the real rewards for fans are going to come in 3-5 seasons. Patience. Long-term.
Yup... not 100% sure, but Treliving is very careful with his words, he pretty much has been giving us the answer all season.
