I like the Critical Drinker
He is a professional writer and provides a thoughtful analysis of every show he reviews, and I agree with him most of the time, but here is where we part ways - he thinks the bard is a worthless character that detracts from the show and I think he adds comical value.

I vote the writers should keep the bard in the show.
