I love all of it, but I distinctly remember Frank's Wild Years popping my head open like a can of beans.

I agree with Popkins.  The ideas Ryan put forth—while valid and engaging— feel somewhat out of place in a review.  Also, Cartman's dismissive attitude towards the suffering of others is a major reason he is so damned entertaining to watch.

Salman Rushdie has some serious back-peddling to do before I give his thoughts a moment of my time.

C'mon guys, the doctor from Rookie of the Year loudly exclaims this as the kid nails hims in the face while checking his arm.

Well I imagine I'm not adding much to the pointed criticisms I've read thus far, I still feel compelled to malign this movie in any format available.

Boardwalk Empire's biggest challenge has been to live up to the reputations of its constituent parts. Steve Buscemi, HBO, Michael K. Williams, Martin Fucking Scorcese? Any one with a shred of taste walked into the season premiere with outlandish expectations. Despite the valid criticisms discussed above, I believe

"Fad Episode" concept needs reworking.
I disagree with Sean's breakdown of fad episodes. While I can notice similarities between "Poor and Stupid" and "You Have 0 Friends" the connections grow dimmer with "It's A Jersey Thing" and they are inapplicable to The Coon Trilogy. Sean's point is a fair one, but applying
