“Of course, someone always has to pee in the Cheerios: in this rambling Salon article, a writer needs SEVEN PARAGRAPHS of talking about herself before she can get to the point of criticizing the show. I’m so pissed at the terrible expository writing that I haven’t even gotten around to disagreeing with her assessment. Apparently Salon is where you take your contrarian BS when it’s not good enough for Slate.” – Matt Ufford, “What’s on Tonight: SAMCRO vs. Racists” [Warming Glow]
