Great episode! I did my homework and watched Piggy and I agree with everything everyone said and I came in with a 7 out of 10. I loved the idea that in a town full of monsters, it took a real monster to show some heart and be nice to Sara. I think it shows a lot about our society and how most of us without mental illness or delusions of reality still take the low road when it comes to treating people with respect. We have no excuse, where as the people struggling to try and make sense of the world and are dealing with internal pain have the ability to display compassion. If this idea could have been written better into the second act this could have been an excellent film. And, Jay, I also love Splinter and think it’s an underrated gem.
