I am in heart with this thread
"But please, don't become a durgical."
Great read, but Sally Durant Plummer, what's a durgical?
Durgical is a misspelling of the word Dirgical, a word coined by After Eight, which you can now use the search function to see the word described in context.
"In a world in which the big picture is increasingly neglected, perhaps stories with perfect happy endings are nothing more than opiates."
Or maybe people who find happy endings to be so unrealistic have a bigger problem than opinions on other's happiness.

I'm just sitting here wondering when dictionaries will amend the entry for "which" to include a definition as a conjunction. It's literally happening more and more frequently.
Are you speaking to me? Because I used "which" as a pronoun & determiner, not as a conjunction.

Oh, all right.
Would a dirgical be a melodramatic song that ends unhappily? Would N2N be considered one long dirgical?
Since it's not a real word it can mean anything you want it to.
The OP's commentary stipulates that revenge killing is NOT morally disgusting. I disagree. And yes, the show is explicitly asking questions about relativism, moral and otherwise.

Dirgical - every post by A8
Every post by After Eight is a dirgical, which you can see they are when you read them.
Man, that actually took concentration.
Or you can search his screen name for context!
"Drab. Dreary. No life."
After Eight, you were a wonderful Yvonne in Sunday in the Park. You must play it again sometime.
I MUST PAINT A FACTORY NEXT!

"Yvonne in Sunday in the Park."
Everyone in the audience felt exactly as she did.
Poor Yvonne.
Poor us!
Oh cool, so you did a poll of everyone in the audience?
What else did you find out?
THE DOG! [ LAUGHS ]
As far as the ending I'm bummed about the bakers wife she was hot.
You don't suppose that it's satirical?
I'm not that good Matt, Sondheim got it

I just saw Jack as an overeager emotional boy who grew up in a broken home and made many mistakes as a result. I like the ending because he ends up living in a family with a man who is teaching him how to be better than that. One of those lessons was where he said that killing the steward who killed his mother won't help anything.
Hate him if you wish. The character is bound to be loved by some and hated by others
