Anonymous has come and gone, so now is probably the best time to release a belated counterpoint podcast
To sum up, it's bad writing and bad history.
The next episode is Antony and Cleopatra, vote for what you want to see after that!
EDIT/CORRECTION:
Our next episode is going to be about Julius Caesar, partially because it's before A&C, but mostly because it's going to be playing later this month, and we want fresh memories.
