   I just finished watching the third and final installment of this series. It   
   skipped over the events of Saturday and went    
   right to Sunday. Much of it dealt with Ruby's murder of Oswald. Every time   
   they showed footage of Oswald, whether   
   he was speaking or not, I thought to myself, "You're going to get yours, you   
   little bastard.". When the footage of the   
   shooting was shown, I pumped my fist and cheered, just as I have done every   
   time I see it. I took fiendish pleasure   
   seeing the mortally wounded Oswald being loaded into the ambulance and   
   unloaded at Parkland. I still hope that he   
   was suffering greatly. I say all that with no apologies or regret. I will   
   despise that piece of shit until the day I die.    
      
   The last part of the episode dealt with the procession and funeral. Not much   
   new but much of it had been colorized   
   and enhanced. Overall, I thought it was a very good production.
