One criticism I'll agree with his how poorly Sorkin writes women characters.

He tends to make them emotional wrecks who do stupid shyt so far out of character that it becomes distracting.

:childplease: at someone in 2010 thinking LOL meant "lots of love"....
I was watching a news or sports show mayheb2 years ago and the anchor thought lol meant lots of love :manny: however he was old as fukk

All things aside, Olivia Munn is a very good actress.

But that exchange between Will :smugfavre: and the gay Santorum supporter :stopitslime: was epic. Dude really sonned the shyt out of will.

What a fantastic piece of television the last episode was.

This series is weird man. It goes from bad to great randomly.

Olivia Munn impressed me. Had no clue she had those acting chops in her.



she did that thing most exotic girls do, they don't look good when they are angry, They look too intense and I would be afraid i'm about to get steve Mcnair'ed but yeah, she didn't suck

Man, that episode was awesome. Maybe it's me, but I don't see nothing wrong with the way he portrays women... :smugfavre:

Much, much better. The Don-Sloan-Charlie exchange was the best scene of the series thus far, and the first I watched more than once. And Will got sonned during a lecture for once.
