Thanks, I'll have a read but I typically don't read Nussbaum. I feel like she has her status elevated because she's in the Times (which is probably fair) but there are guys like Sepinwall, Greenwald, Poniwozik (thank god I just use google) and even Tim Goodman and Mo Ryan I think produce better work.
Without having read the article and relying on your "reaps what he sows" comment. While I could definitely be onside with the premise, theme and result, that type of execution is pure and utter hackery.
