A failure because you misunderstood it yourself?

So it ended up being a bummer and such a terrible ending for Mr. Show. We never got to feel like, "Wow, we did it! We did something."

There's been more written about Lincoln than movies made about him or television portraying him. He's kind of a stranger to our industry, to this medium.
