Also Sloan and Don are awful and annoying. poo poo, I think the only guy I like on the show is Dumber. And the Law and Order guy. Maybe Slumdog. Oh yeah, Mrs. Turner is okay, too.

I don't understand the HR thing at all. Don and Sloan are both in high level jobs at the company and even though he framed it as Don being Sloan's superior, it's not like one of them is an intern or something. I thought the usual policy for these things in big corporations was that you had to sign some forms with HR disclosing it and etc., not that it is automatically required one of the workers to be transferred. Why is the new HR guy instantly in you guys can't have a relationship or one of you has to be transferred mode? Like what the hell? There wasn't even evidence yet that the relationship was affecting their work or something. I can't help but feel the subplot will be resolved by Don and Sloan coming clean to the HR guy who will then proceed to "forgive" it. ACN's NY office losing one of its few anchors or a senior EP just because of an inter-office relationship seems absurd.

Similarly was the depressed EPA interview supposed to just be a one-off joke? Why did he do that? Was the guy getting back at Maggie or something? It felt like there was supposed to be some sort of follow-up or ramifications to that interview. Did that guy really practically throw away his job?

I think Sorkin put him in there because he is an intensely political writer and wanted to address how dire the issue of climate change is to the viewing audience.

I know. He wrote about a girl showing her growing breasts to her priest(?) because she misinterpreted a speech he gave.

They're nice breasts, don't get me wrong, but still.

Lars Van Trier is creepy, news at 11. That's actually the only creepy moment in the film though, the rest is about a bunch of teenagers essentially exercising their right own a firearm in America. Its a strange movie, but pretty interesting, and ends with a big old timey western shootout

It really didn't need to be brought up in here though.

They are young kids that start a group of pacifistic gun fetishists. It ends about as well as you'd expect with "Written by Lars von Trier" on the box.

A 10% levy on BAKED GOODS?!

This is at least objectively the best season of an absolute piece of poo poo show which is the only nice thing I can say about it.

Hopefully Sorkin stops getting shows, he's clearly regressed as a writer. He's never had any sort of ability to write women or romance relationships, or hell even genuine friendships and his only saving grace was writing good dialogue but now you can pick out any episode of Newsroom and find a dozen lines each ripped off from his previews shows.

He's pulling off smug billionaire man child pretty well. The only character I aggressively hate is Jim's "I want to be a citizen journo stick it to the face of old media digital revolution' but I'm pretty sure Sorkin wrote her that way to express his contempt for internet bloggers/self proclaimed journos who think they're the future of news media.
