what you think happened to her? will telling the lawyer "you'd kill yourself if you went through what she did" so its gotta be serious. go out on a story and get raped/kidnapped or both? :shaq: or being there at a location of a suicide bomber? dont remember what went on around late 2011 in the news.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
I'm fukking with this shyt heavy. I almost feel alot of people are reading into the fact that Sorkin is behind this and not seeing the show for itself.

If this exact show was written by someone completely unknown the reception to it would be so much different. The season definitely started quite strongly with some potential to open up in the forthcoming weeks.

Olivia Munn in this shyt is something serious though brehs :wow:

it's just the way they talk.. which is really a sorkin thing. so damn fast all the time.. who talks like that.. and then the smart quick replies.. like bam bam bam bam.. nobody is that fukking quick and witty ALL THE TIME.. and they all do it.. every single one of them.

i want to think of what it's like.. but there's nothing else like it. maybe if one person did it, showing how they are so much smarter than the rest... it reminds me of 10 genius vince vaughns all talking to each other

then all the sudden it gets super campy.. like olivia munn talking bout that date... fine as that woman is and how smart she is supposed to be on the show... and they made that shyt seem so corny

since we dealing with complaints lol... that maggie broad is distractingly ugly.. i mean everything that could go wrong, went wrong with her looks.. ughhhhh


and STILL i give this show a 8/10. but i can see how others would be turned off by the dialogue... it's hard to follow if you're not paying the utmost attention

This show is on point. For yall complaining about the dialogue, apparently y'all havent been around a group of white self centric nerdy intellectuals. This is the exact dialogue I would expect. Only issue is would have is the serious Democratic motive. They portray Daniels as a Republican to somewhat protect there asses from being obvious with the right wing and tea party bashing.

I fukks with this show alot but I get the feeling that it aint gonna survive another season.

As for people disliking the dialouge Im :manny: with it. For one, it is the way Sorkin writes and 2 it really is one of a kind type of show like it on tv in that aspect so I can rock with it. Now if every one show on tv had characters speaking like that :usure:

The relationship stuff doesnt really bother me at all either. Ive seen far worse love triangles and relationship attempts on other shows. The only thing that has me like :beli: is that the fact that those two nikkaz are going back and forth over that HIDEOUS bytch. If they had a better looking nubian white queen I'd be cool with it. But I cant buy that one dude giving Oliva Munn the :childplease: and then Jim dumping his fine tall ass girl for a shot at that carrie in the face from Homeland bytch.

FOH.

EVERYONE being extremely snarky and witty

:russ:

The Big Bang Theory.

But I have seen this type of dialogue and even the behaviors in the office. Some of it is not that far-fetched.

I like the show. Not sure whats going on with Charlie and Sloan.

MacKenzie with her silk blouses...am I the only one that notices them? It has to be intentional.

Not every nerdy white cac talks like a Judd Apatow script generator though. It sounds like every character has the same shytty puppet master fisting them up the ass n/h talking for them.

None of these characters are memorable as they are all virtually identical aside from their individual motivations.

The pacing of the dialogue is fukking ridiculous, it's not a bad show, but it's one of the reasons I literally have no intention of watching it ever again.

"Hey, did you hear what happened?"

"No, what happened."

*Two other characters walk in at the EXACT same time"

"Hey did you hear what happened?" at 90 miles per hour simultaneously

The one character responds, "NO! What happened?" really quickly

"There's been a problem." they both say, at the same time looking at each other annoyed.

"What kind of problem? Like a math problem? You need me to solv—"

"NOOO! Not that kind of problem, this kind of problem!" *one of the characters turns around to reveal a tear in their pants*

"Oh my god, you're going to be on the air in 15 minutes!"

"I KNOW!" both characters reply simultaneously at 500 milers per hour

"Ok, uh, quick, Lilly, take my place, I'm going to go help her fix this! I need this gig or else I can't afford to pay for Sandra's engagement ring!"

"Just buy her a CZ" one characters says at Mach 3

"CZ????? A CZ!?!?!??? ARE YOU NUTS" boss walks in mid way through his screaming

"Oh, uh hey, Will, I got that scrip—" at Mach 4

"No need for it Jim, leave it on my desk, and would be kind enough to make sure I can listen to my Bon Jovi in peace?"

"Sure, sure of course, you got it," at the speed of light

:stylesp: Every fukking episode it's the same corny bullshyt b

Thats just how certain people talk, b. You get a bunch of them around each other in a fast paced environment like a Newsroom, people who are already some of the smartest in their particular field, then this is the kind of dialogue I would expect to hear.
