If you can get Walter Chaw on as a regular, I will more than gladly double my Patreon, even triple it.

Small counter point to Dave's point about the ending not being about anything. This is a stretch so bear with me. Maybe it ties in thematically because the pharmaceutical company is using this speed-aging beach to try to cure diseases that are associated with old age stereotypically, or are life-long afflictions?
