I agree with everything you said, up until the above quote. I found this episode to be reaming with irony and did a lot of approving head-nodding. I'm not sure what you mean by "flaws heard these modern days of realism."

Would you care to elaborate?

I gave the show a 5, because as I was listening, I truly had no idea where it was going. By the end I was extremely delighted that the writer chose the path he did.

I chose this episode, because after not having an OTR show for a few weeks, I thought it would be a nice follow-up to the excellent and similar. The Only Blood from a few weeks back.
