What I hate is journalists who complain that no one is reacting to their articles. "Why does no one care about this important news?" Fool! Run the dishwasher if you don't like looking at empty cupboards.

That's a metaphor! Is that one too complicated for you too?

If they want blood in the streets next year (IE the feisty community of semi-cultured hate-fucking you describe) they're going to have to pick some shows that people connect with better.

@CC Comment volume is the only measure of a man. There, I said it.

On the other hand nothing felt very challenging. The Poles were loud, the Beckett was long, Maria Hassabi was obscure; all resolved into pleasant beautiful well-made performances disconnected from the world outside. Masques at Versailles. Emily Johnson's touching meditation on home--what about the homeless? Daisey's activism, "Don't buy thousand-dollar toys without thinking about the people who make them." Who cares?

Finally, a journalist crying for scandal is like a prostitute complaining no one's horny. Maybe you should spend less time in the beer garden if you're not finding stories there.

I'd say you're right on with the assessment, judging by the tone of all of the reviews. Sounds like there were a few flashes of great surrounded by 75% meh.

Finally, just because something doesn't receive a ton of comments doesn't mean it isn't worthwhile.
