Baltimore Sun coverage:
The local reaction, the media piece about Simon’s experience at the Sun influencing this season, and the rest*
Jacob Weisberg’s (Slate) recycled analysis for Season Four.
Another Slate article (hot document) about an apparent “suppressed scene”
Star-Ledger says, “Pay attention to the first scene.”
NYT: No Happy Ending in Dickensian Baltimore
