oh, certainly (re public perception), but that’s what’s even more damning for me about this decision: it was so extremely en vogue, dealing only with “the issue of the day”. it’s so incredibly short-sighted and I still can’t quite believe the writing crew went for it

have oft wondered whether it’s worth tracking them down to hear what they were thinking at the time, as well how they think it is right now (as well as how it’ll age)
