Yea, but that's like saying "Sure this literal pile of sheet tastes terrible, but we put the best sprinkles and whipped cream in the world on top, so enjoy the elements you can!" The sheet ruins the sprinkles.

I fundamentally disagree with this part (ceding most others bc it’s quibbles and semantics)
I saw a production of a play at UNO - poorly written, very poorly directed and lackluster design
BUT
There was an actor giving his all finding some very beautiful and nuanced moments- that is my lasting memory (and a lesson I almost always discuss with my students), not the overwhelming mediocrity of the rest
so like in s8, why in the world would someone let the doubleD ****, override the memory of Jaime and Brienne’s last night together
We should curate our own cultural intake- and why not curate it for maximum quality
It’s not saying ignore the ****, it’s saying give more weight to quality
