Maggie’s still twitching and vibrating but tries to cover by saying it was a nice ending. Don craps all over it by telling her Jim wasn’t there to talk to Lisa then tells her about the flowers and how he’s no good for her because he’s a rebel.
Amy Winehouse starts singing Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow over a series of completely unrelated scenes that have nothing to do with a young woman’s virtue. First Adam shows Tate footage of a ridiculous primary debate while Charlie pores over Hancock’s personnel file. Finally, Neal’s in a trolling chatroom and gets called out by “Charizma” on claiming to be the guy who hacked ACN’s ridiculously secured forum firewall because “Charizma” did it. D’oh!
Amy’s still singing as Neal calls Lonny to let him know he won’t have to keep babysitting Will because Neal’s broken the code and magically got Will’s stalker to out himself. Don’s explaining the flowers and how he had no problem getting back in that saddle whenever they broke up while Maggie doesn’t really pay attention, which at least has a passing connection to the song before we finish with Will sadly looking at “Help Me Rhonda,” the bright pink relationship advice website. And I laugh and laugh. Thanks, Chance.

“Adam thinks they need ACN because they have “the independents.” In a primary debate.”
According to the Internet, the Weiner scandal broke May 27, 2011, and the GOP debate immediately after that was on June 13. That was a debate that took place in New Hampshire, where independents are allowed to vote in party primaries. So it’s not completely implausible. But I refuse to accept that independents would watch ACN with Will McAvoy, Douche of All Media, as its star. Now, debates might be improved somewhat if someone were on hand to tell the audience when a candidate is lying. But Will McAvoy, Douche of All Media? Not that someone, because it would take forever for him to finish talking. Just have a screen on the stage with PolitiFact headlines scrolling by at appropriate times.
I cringed to see that Elliot’s show is called “Right Now.” MY network has a show called “Right Now.” Give it back, Sorkin. And, yes, the poster was totally Colbert.
Oh this show… I’m kinda glad my love of Tommy Zbikowski won out over my love of mocking this show and I watched Sunday Night Football instead. I think my head might have exploded.
Not completely implausible, but it can see it from where they shoot the show.
And I can’t help but compare my other HBO show, Boardwalk Empire to this one. In addition to fleshing out and creating charismatic, maddening, engaging, flawed and relatable women, only one of whom could be considered “good,” it also educated at least me on the plight of the Lost Generation of returning WWI vets and created the most deeply committed and emotional relationship between two of those vets. Jimmy and Richard’s relationship was so compelling and really an amazing piece of writing that had nothing to do with either man’s snappy comebacks or speechifying.
They’re so meticulous in their research that even the women’s clothing is not just era but year appropriate, while The Newsroom can’t even be assed to realize that while independents can occasionally vote in primaries, that primary campaigns differ from general election campaigns in that they appeal more to the base. Which is why the Republican debates were such good viewing. And reporting a news story doesn’t mean sitting around until someone delivers it to you tied up in a bow.
