Just watched. Thought it was a great episode and laid out all the plot lines for the season.

-ACN "getting out of the tree"
-The half siblings trying to steal the company
-Neal committing espionage and how to keep him from going to jail but still be able to have ACN report the story - very Wikileaks/Julian Asange/Edward Snowden

I don't mind Sorkin's politics - I'm pretty liberal - and ever since "The West Wing", I'm a sucker for anything Sorkin does.

Hell, I'm one of like 17 people who actually enjoyed "Studio 60".

Very sad to hear we only get 6 episodes.

Oh, and I liked Maggie doing well as an on the ground producer and then kicking arse when she had to go live on camera.

I could keep listing everything I loved (Sloan & Don <3) but I'll just say I loved it all.

Can't wait to see Leona (Jane Fonda) eat her step-kids alive.

I watched Sunday evening. I'm very interested in where Sampat's storyline is heading.

Definitely going to be interesting to see them get out of that pickle.

And it looks like Kat Dennings is one of those twins from the previews too. Think I'm gonna love that cameo. And for as much of a smug frickstick as he's been, I legitimately feel bad for Reese because like he said, he just wants to be a good businessman and run a good business.

Definitely love having more Don/Sloan vs. Maggie/Jim.

Thanks for the bump. I forgot to bookmark.

So Sampat is in deep deep government shite.

This is such a great show. I can't believe they are cancelling it.

Awkward elevator ride...

I figured the menu had something to that effect on it.

Crazy, crazy shite.

Oh, man, the "You're Don Keefer'ing me" line had me crying with laughter. They are such an awesome "couple", tests and all.

Also, Maggie's line: We do that ( monologuing) a lot at my work.

So much goodness in this episode.

One of the best episodes. This show is amazing - I just might cry when it ends. One of my favorite series of all time.

My favorite show on TV. So intelligently written. As a journalist in real life, I can certainly agree with the previous poster who talks about the internet ruining journalistic integrity. I fight this on a daily basis. I identify with Daniels' character. I really wish HBO would have taken a chance to let this series develop.

I think it's absurd that we aren't getting a full finale season for this series. Similar to the situation with Boardwalk Empire. What is HBO thinking?
