I knew we were approaching the end game... But sweet merciful crap
You had to figure the Jim and Maggie scenario would happen before the end, but the Charlie piece wasn't expected.
Also, Aaron Sorkin deserves all the applauds there are for putting out there the dangers the internet creates in getting information into that ever loving ether without any sort of vetting process. It can't be said enough about the dangers of mob rule that the internet creates.

Is there some type of penalty for false advertising for TV programs? Discovery owes me something for two hours of my life. You can't name it Eaten Alive and call it quits before the snake even makes it past the crown of the head.

Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

The Newsroom has always been terrible, but good Lord, that may have been the ****tiest hour of television ever produced.

If you believe it to be "the ****tiest hour of televen ever produced", why are you watching it?

Gave the pilot episode for State of Affairs a shot this weekend. My reaction was identical to my wife's: It's got Katherine Heigl in it, but what the hell?
It's the story of desk jockeys in the CIA, but they're also super bad a** agents. The love angle of Katherine Heigl being engaged to the President's son is way to heavy handed.
I wasn't expecting a Sorkin-esque copy of the West Wing involving the CIA, but they certainly could have used similar subtleties.
I may give the second episode a try. But this isn't a show I need to get caught up on.

You pretty much nailed it. It probably won't get much better. It's filler for me until Black List comes back. I wonder where it will go then?

Basically to finish it at this point. Charlie's death did elicit a genuine laugh from me though.

Yup...I thought the episode was great including the jail parts.

Re: TV: The League Of Anarchy Is A Bunch Of Justified Mad Men
Two things about The Newsroom:
1. I was obviously distracted and not paying attention but I didn't realize that the guy in Will's cell was not real.
2. The girl that played Mary, the Princeton rape victim, also plays Julia Louis-Dreyfus' daughter in Veep and is KIEFER SUTHERLAND'S DAUGHTER!!! How did I not know that? The Kiefer part....I know she's on Veep.
OK, I lied, there's more....
3. I had a feeling something was going to happen to Charlie early on. He seemed totally over the top. I'm sad to see him go.
4. Does Neal get to come back?
While not Sorkin's best work, I do like this show and it's much better this season than last, Watertown mis pronounciation notwithstanding.
1. I was obviously distracted and not paying attention but I didn't realize that the guy in Will's cell was not real.
When the Will's cellmate started talking I thought it was immediately obvious that there was something off about the situation. At first I thought the jail put someone in his cell that they knew would annoy Will, then I started thinking that he was actually an FBI agent because the questions he asked weren't lining up with the original personality he displayed earlier. I did not expect it was Will having a mental breakdown.

Find me a positive review of last night's show.
