By the way, the
South Park episode
where Britney blows her head off (okay, apparently not streaming anymore till April 19th, sorry) is brilliant. Like,
Battlestar Galactica levels of brilliant. The structure, the metaphor, the willingness to take risks.
What really takes it above and beyond for me is that there are three moments in the episode where it is just silent. No dialogue, no movement. Just silence. Just sit there and think.
You have to be pretty confident in your abilities as a writer to choose
not to say something. You have to be pretty sure of point argument to not make it. I hope they submit this episode for Emmy consideration, and I hope they win, because it is really impressive.
