I do not think the whole Eddie killing off Jack thing will ever come to be. Back then it would have been a great idea, but now I think A&D, especially after this year has come to realize Jack is bigger than ever and a major fan favorite. And at the last laugh he said we haven't seen the last of him so I have a felling he will continue to show up every big year. As for an icon for next year and the tears coming, I would love to see them do the same they did with Jack this year. Starting with the Usher for 26. Tear them up, redesign them, make them darker and more sinister. And then move on to the Caretaker and the Director and Storyteller and then for their 30th create a whole new icon. Going back to their roots worked for them this year. So they should build upon it. Just my opinion.
