This is the kind of piece that once led me to pay for a subscription to Salon. It is smart--yes, it does have (omigod) a thesis--and well-written for a general audience. Even though Reynolds has it in him to plop right into jargon (a word like POHMer would have alienated 99.9% of his audience), he writes for smart people who have enough interest in the arts to give his piece a click. Salon used to treat movies and tv this way, too, before it learned the Power of Snark.
I do not pay for the political blogging and religion/anti-religion baiting that has, it seems, become the signature of today's Salon. One I can get better on more established blogs, and the other serves mainly to attract rage junkies.
