*sigh* A little to heavy on the self-concious irony, I say. A little light on the commitment to detail. The least the writer could have done was strive for a little more adherence to historical realism. Gone that extra sarcastic mile. Nothing is worse than some over-educated arrogant son-of-a-bitch parody that is half-assed. It's only funny if the writer is also brain-damaged ot a 'tard. Then, you can make the 'oh well, that was the best they could hope to do' toss-off and then proceed with a knowing shake of the head and a patronizing chuckle. It's like they fucked the porn star, but forgot to give her the cream pie. So sad.
