Okay, time for some realtalk. This ending was complete poo poo. The writer went for the wacky monkey cheese scenario of "Danish ghost king becomes a marine biologist and is happy ever after" and tried really hard to convince himself and us that this was a good idea to put on a page and publish.

Ryan North, thou hast thy readers much offended.

So uh... is this some kind of elaborate troll?

I thought the entire point of this was to make ridiculous ghost-marine-biologist riffs on the concept.

Porkchop does seem a lot more likely to just add his own spin to what he's told to do, rather than just coming up with new ideas. His other tragic flaw must be the inevitability of fate, or some junk.

:eng101: Fun Shakespeare fact! :eng101:

"Nunnery" was Elizabethan slang for a brothel, so Hamlet is actually laying it on pretty heavy with the whole calling Ophelia a whore thing here (especially after calling Polonius a pimp before that). It's not surprising that she flips her poo poo.

When you think you've comprehended one of Shakespeare's sick burns, there was a sicker one sleeping in the depths of history.

C'mon Hamlet Sr., at least have the decency to corporealize a little for your wife. I realize you're still kind of cheesed at her but I'm also pretty sure that staying cheesed off at people is why there are even ghosts to begin with.

You know, I appreciate that Claudius comes up with his own ridiculously intricate plan to off Hamlet. After all that malarkey with Gonzago, dude deserves some counterplot.
