You know what, I'm not even going to ***** about Newsroom this week, wasn't as good as last week's episode and it could've been much better, but ****, two straight weeks of enjoyable TV out of Aaron Sorkin, maybe this thing really is steering back around.

This was the best newsroom by far. I actually laughed at the jokes. I fear the love triangle is going to go on for a long time. But I was afraid he was going to go sanctimonious and pious about the death of Bin Laden. Thankfully I was wrong. This episode on top of being great also set up the next phase of the story.

I still enjoyed last week's a lot more, but this was much better than the previous episodes as well. As for the love triangle, I'm pretty sure my brain has blocked out my memories of part of the show because I have no idea why I'm supposed to care about crazy face.

Fantastic episode, imo strongest to date. And Rosebud, it's going to be weird when Alison Pill and I get married if you keep calling her crazy face. Just throwin that out there.

The Breaking Bad thread is actually right down there, you can't miss it.

You're not thinking it through, when you two get married I'll be able to call you Mr. and Mrs. crazy face, and at that point, will you really not just so damn happy that you're cool with it? It can be our little thing, between just the three of us.
My issue with this episode was how much it focused on her love life, her and douche on a plane are clearly not in a healthy relationship, but her and not-don aren't really some passionate pair being overwhelmed by their whirlwind romance either. Because of that there's no momentum to that storyline and it takes away from the rest of my show.
Plus I thought they could've done more with the perverse euphoria that Osama's death was greeted with by too many people, gotten into how that celebration was representative of the triumph of fear, ignorance and kneejerk hatred over practicality, reason, and learning, that is not only responsible for the ******-up-edness in the region that spawned Osama and those like him, but that also lead to the gung-ho attitudes that got the US bogged down in Iraq.

Two things about Newsroom: Christian Bale is Welsh, and that Rock/Triple H was unbelievably out of date for the time. Then again, Sorkin's more than likely stuck in the year 2000 and has no idea that The Rock and Triple H hadn't interacted since about 2002.

I think Bengals' claim to Scagliotti is one of the more legit ones on here, unfortunately. I'd like to check out those Syfy shows sometime. Saw some Eureka once, charming stuff.
That man is a comedic genius. Always pushing the envelope
