The Newsroom, Season 2

[Tyche]

You're worried about a show that's worked in reverse chronological order about real events that happened a year ago being predictable?

Yes. It's not so entertaining when all of the character reactions and interactions are becoming 100% predictable. And it's not a very good job of jumping around when they told us in like the first 2 minutes of the first show that maggie's going to go to africa and fucked up shit is going to happen, and then half the next episode is supposed to be tension over if she's going to go to africa or not... and we're 2 episodes in and haven't gotten to the beginning of the actual events they already told us about.


I'm not complaining about the predictability of news I already know.

[Mazmaz]

Oh, that's going to happen Plow. Dill with it.

Spoiler: show

Also, I guess now we know what happens to Maggie that led to that fucked up look she had in episode 1. Between Jim's impending sex with blonde chick and Maggie soon to be getting kidnapped/raped/whatever, it looks like she's going to get her comeuppance for fucking over Don.

I really liked tonight's episode.

Spoiler: show

My guess is they're gonna kidnap both Maggie and Gary, and kill Gary in front of her. I don't think Sorkin will touch rape, what with all the accusations of the show being sexist.

[Mazmaz]

Am I the only one who feels like Maggie doesn't deserve all the shit that's happening to her?

[Rhyis.]

Yes. It's not so entertaining when all of the character reactions and interactions are becoming 100% predictable.

You must've hated Memento.

Am I the only one who feels like Maggie doesn't deserve all the shit that's happening to her?

Maggie is 100% retarded and I hope the worst things in life happen to her.

[Bregor]

Am I the only one who feels like Maggie doesn't deserve all the shit that's happening to her?

She fucked up bad, but yeah the fact that it's all piling on her now is pretty hard to watch.

[Cail]

Enjoyed this episode. Feel bad for Don

[Eurell]

Enjoyed this episode. Feel bad for Don

Don't.

He didn't love her, and he'll be banging Sloan soon enough. Plus he got out of the relationship looking like an awesome guy. Couldn't have ended any better for him.

[Mazmaz]

I think he meant cause of Troy Davis

[Cail]

I think he meant cause of Troy Davis

That and he tried to make things work with Maggie

[Athas]

They fucked up the recording? Seriously?

This is worse then Mack's e-mail thing.

[Plow]

Yeah that was dumb, otherwise this was an awesome episode. I was fucking rolling at the chair.

[Tyrath]

Don's chair was hilarious.

Fucking up the recording was stupid as shit.

[Murdock]

They fucked up the recording? Seriously?

This is worse then Mack's e-mail thing.

I'll prepare to facepalm when I get home to watch it.

[Mazmaz]

Why am I not enjoying this season at all?

[Timwakefield]

Why am I not enjoying this season at all?

I feel like the exchanges haven't been as quick or quippy as season 1.

[Skotty]

I'm going to assume Will knows what he's doing and Reese is even more underhanded and had someone crack the safe and erase the recording. My version doesn't make me rage so I'm going to keep telling myself that's what happened.

[Bregor]

They fucked up the recording? Seriously?

This is worse then Mack's e-mail thing.

Second.

The scene with Will and Nina in the ACN restaurant was really good though.

[Rhyis.]

Jims shit just needs to stop. Don't care.
Don and Sloans shit continues to be hilarious.

[Bregor]

Jims shit just needs to stop. Don't care.

My wife basically said the same thing. I don't mind it, I guess it hits the right notes with me as a disgruntled moderate Republican. They really should be answering all of Jim's questions but they just cockblock him with some croakies-wearing frat boy and the lesser of the girls from House of Cards.
