re: The Newsroom Season 3 (Series Finale Tonight, "What Kind of Day Has it Been?")

I am guessing that Aaron Sorkin just didn't want to write more. I can't imagine it would have cost that much more to do 9-10 episodes in the greater scheme of things.

Did they just lift Toby straight from the office and drop him in the chair next to will?

Holy Crap look at Mac's cleavage!

They need to do a spinoff show with Don and Sloane. It literally wouldn't have to be about anything. I would watch the hell out of it.

You're absolutely right
The ending to that episode: GOLD

so much meta in that line. I really have to hand it to Aaron Sorkin. He is trolling the shite out of all the petty TV critics that are so personally bent out of shape by his disdain for modern social media.

I need more Don and Sloan. And less angsty Jim fawning over newly remade Maggie.

Oh one more thing, I think it is pretty obvious that it will end up being Mac that "saves the day" rather than Will. Will has been set up to be the martyr, but by introducing the leak to Mac tonight, I am now pretty sure Sorkin tipped his hand a bit.
Posted on 11/24/14 at 12:06 pm to SoGaFan
I'm sure it'll be a situation where Will plans on taking the fall, then everyone lines up to take it with him in a show of solidarity.

I pretty much hate any Jim centric scene at this point. I do like how he's gone from being the guy your suppose to root for (S1) to the guy you absolutely hate. Contrast that with Don who you were suppose to root against in Season 1 to everyone's favorite not named Sloan. All the while feeling like a pretty natural transition.

Really liking this season. Don is awesome and all the scenes with him and Sloane are money.
The extreme environmental hyperbole seems dated and hopefully that dude melting down on air looking like an idiot is the end of it.

First of all
Sloan
This show has been great from the beginning. Mac definitely does it for me. The scene about putting the FBI on the air raiding a newroom was awesome, and I wish they would have actually done it.
Well see how they play the FBI vs Newsroom thing out over the next couple episodes and see how Sorkin spins it.

All it really did was serve the function of delivering one of the funniest scenes in the entire run of the show. I suspect it is the last we will see of it, because the punchline has been delivered.
The focus is on free press vs national security (Snowden)and new media vs old media. Can't see a reason to dip back into the EPA stuff.

My wife and I kept yelling "This here, is Maine Justice" at each other last night.

Don truly is the prime example of the "a-hole" who gets the girl because he's such a damn lovable a-hole.
Jim is just so damn spineless and not in that "he's coming into his own" kind of way either.
For some reason Reese (sp?) Lansing has grown on me too. Add him as another in the a-hole column who has transitioned over.
Neil and Sloane are probably the two main characters I've really enjoyed from the beginning and have consistently been on "the good side" for me.
I will miss this show though. I hate that it's going away just when it's really starting to work out the kinks.

I will remind you, this is the VP of HR from our new parent company

For all the criticism that Aaron Sorkin gets about his female characters, I have to say quite a few of my all time favorite TV females are from his shows: No. 1 with a bullet of course is CJ Cregg, but Sloane is definitely No. 2.
Posted on 11/24/14 at 8:14 pm to SoGaFan
Oh man, CJ was like my personal "I wanna be her when I grow up" woman - even though I was already a 27 year old, married, mother of a one year old when it premiered.
As with almost every episode, I loved just about all of it, so it's easier to just list what didn't work for me.
I could do without the "HR guy gunning for Don and Sloan" subplot. They work fine as a B/C storyline without this false obstacle. The only way this ends is they get truly busted and Don gallantly moves to another division to stay in the relationship and to prove he values Sloan's career as much as his own.
Just let Doan be Doan. I don't need them to have to deal with some "Three's Company"-style hijinks to be entertaining.
And a hot, sexy female from the PR group as the government leak is a nice little twist as opposed to the predictable, never seen the sun, skinny, nervous, white guy nerd contractor from the NSA.
I can't wait to watch Charlie Skinner flay and eat alive the guy who is wanting to buy ACN.
