It was hard for me to focus on the theme of the article, which was that the episodes had conservative (or at least nonliberal) themes, because the episodes themselves were so lush and rich. I had trouble boiling it down to the political angle.
Also, there was no mention of the Cigarette-Smoking Man, my favorite character!
There was one episode, “Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man,” that gives his whole backstory. If you liked the character, that episode is a must see if you haven’t already seen it...
