"The Newsroom" debuts tonight on HBO...Official thread

[HHR]

Jim is such a pathetic fukking simp.

Spoiler

As soon as they mentioned that the Ugandan kid was kept safe in the orphanage, I knew it was curtains for him. Not really Sorkin's fault; I watch too much TV and that kinda thing was telegraphed from the beginning. shyt was still bad though.

While the Uganda subplot and Jim subplot were both astoundingly terrible, I'm kinda amazed that Sorkin's still doing a really good job handling Occupy Wall Street.

Next week ep: "Trayvon Martin was shot..." FUCK.

The Jim stuff is dumb, but almost all the relationship shyt in this show is so it's whatever to me at this point...

I agree the Uganda shyt was predictable, but I still think it was handled pretty well and there was enough of a twist with how it went down that it worked for me.

The only thing I didn't dig was how the next step in the Genoa story developed Although I really enjoyed the escalating meetings with Shelly that followed it, it felt like they were going back to the well on having things "fall in their lap". It's cute that they pointed it out before it happened, but they already played that card in season 1 with Jim's friend at BP or whatever.

I also don't know how I feel about the lawyer character yet

Charlie Skinner is low key one of the funniest characters on TV

 

[Grifter]

Great fukking episode.

Jesus Christ, I knew from "that colour is blonde, it causes nothing but trouble" that the kid would be the cause of the Maggie implosion but damn I ain't know it was gonna be like that. I genuinely thought Tom Walker got wigged in the gunfire when ol' dude buckled on the grass.

I'm not even mad at the Jim story this week. Everything about that arc wasn't as corny as it was previously. I knew ol' gurl was gonna fall for duke sooner or later. Ain't mad at how that panned out.

The OWS Shelley story is another one I ain't mad at either. Sloan in the park had a nikka laughing and aroused at the same time. Don with that slick either was straight crud. The inbetween bits with Charlie and the Lawyer were all pretty well written too. They didn't even need to give any screen time to Nina Howard this week but did enough with "well..." towards the end too.

Let me just go and reflect on the merciless ether handed out by Will at the very beginning live on air

Fantastic episode.
