The breaking of deepwater horizon really carried the episode and I don't see them being able to carry on that same momentum episode after episode. I will more than likely stick around for the whole season to give it a fair shot however.



Worth it just to see if they do trayvon martin IMO

I'm sure someone will have a family member involved in the chilean mine ordeal, someone is probably from haiti, Punjab's brother is probably behind Wikileaks, etc.

I usually hate shows with a hidden agenda, but I liked it. I feel like its going to be very good.

That would be cool. I guess it really doesn't matter the exact times these events take place.

It doesn't really matter to me but I'm sure some will find fault in it.

I typically hate Sorken. The whole walking down the hall talking super fast bit is so fricking overplayed and not entertaining to me.

BUT I enjoyed the episode overall and will keep watching.

I see your gripe but for some reason I actually enjoy it


I like the constant witty come backs and remarks that no normal person would ever be able to think up of on the fly. I guess thats one of the reasons I do like Sorkin though.

I don't remember any walking and talking.

I like the fast paced speech.

You will NEVER match the badassery of Peter Dinklage to even hint at the notion that you could possibly be Peter Dinklage in any scenario should be a crime suitably punished only through death by stoning. That is all.... Good day.

I liked the episode but I also don't get to caught up in the hidden agendas and stuff and just try to enjoy shows like this for what they are
