The Newsroom, Season 2

[Blackice]

Sloan's response was easily the best part of the episode. Overall it was pretty meh.

[Tyrath]

"He struggles with things!"

*Comes limping trying to put pants on*

Oh god, I lost it.

[Saga]

Too much screaming and overacting by Mack this episode, she's really starting to irritate me.

[Cail]

yea, the whole not understanding gay men or straight women, and how hed be making out with girls all the time was freakin great

[Pooky]

Previews for the next episode...the bitch from TMI knew Will was under the influence and confronted Mac about it. I'm just guessing why he will get the boot.

Ah ok. The copy i grabbed offline doesn't have the preview, so I was a bit confused

[Bregor]

The pants bit and more love rhombus drama were both really disappointing. After Will fell over I almost expected to see Jim Carrey standing there laughing at him. "Man, you are one pathetic loser!"

Don and Sloan responding the the RNC guy was pretty great though.

It's like every episode is 50 minutes of good, taut television, with 10 minutes of garbage. Hoping the season finale nails it.

[Katlan]

I thought the pants bit was pretty damn funny, though I shoulda seen it coming. I don't mind the filler episodes like this since the show needs some to balance how fast it moves through history.

It wasn't the episode by far, but it was a good lead up into the finale.

the preview scene where will gets fired, they showed Charlie next to him. So I'm betting she fires him and then Charlie comes out w/ the whistleblower stuff and this gets them to rework Will's contract so he can't be fired. Either that, or they are gonna leave it as the cliffhanger until next season

[Cail]

so sad that the finale is here already...

[Cail]

love rhombus all up in here

[Cail]

i did not see that coming

[Cail]

that did not end like a season finale, but i liked the episode

Love Pentagon (TM)

Seriously good episode. But even though I am a Tea Party-hating Republican, you don't call out Jesus or people's belief in any religion like that. Somebody gonna sting dey ass.

Did he say anything negative about Jesus? I thought he just stated that Jesus wouldn't be a Tea Party guy.

[Pooky]

"You do. Hire her."

[NotGreyheim]

And his heart grew 3 sizes that day

Manly tears are OK for this episode? Multiple times? And I'm a Canadian. Also, I think I love Mackenzie.

[Rhyis.]

Somebody kill this love rhombus with fire.

Ending was good.

Pentagon. And I love the bit where Sloan was explaining the greater fool principle:

For the rest of us to profit, we need a greater fool; someone who would buy long and sell short. Most people spend their lives trying not to be the greater fool. We toss him the hot potato. We dive for his seat when the music stops. The greater fool is someone with the perfect blend of self-delusion and ego to think that he can succeed where others have failed. This whole country was made by greater fools.

[Cail]

sloans character is awesome and olivia does it so well

[Bregor]

Did he say anything negative about Jesus? I thought he just stated that Jesus wouldn't be a Tea Party guy.

I think he said something along the lines of, "The biggest enemy of the Tea Party isn't Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid or Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. It's this man." BOOM picture of Jesus. He didn't say anything bad about Jesus, but saying he'd be an enemy of anyone is pretty out there.

Terry Crews better call in the whole Expendables team to protect him now.
