The Newsroom: Clearly, Aaron Sorkin visited Usenet once in 1995, decided that was "the internet" and never trafficked in it again. (Special Comment voice) For shame, sir. Do you call that "Getting It Right", because, I don't, and I'm kind of annoyed about that, actually.(/Special Comment voice) And, a twentysomething would never make that "comical" acronym error that you depict here, although fiftysomething producers who are used to having their metaphorical dicks sucked at all times just might...I'm just saying.(Have you ever met a current twenty-something? Can you ever write someone who isn't some kind of avatar-twin-fantasy object of you, Aaron Sorkin? I mean, I know we all have tendencies in that direction, but people would start talking if I crippled everyone and gave them all short blonde haircuts.) The Bernhardt confusion thing was only half-assed funny the first time, but you brought it up three times...which takes a half-assed bit of wordplay way past droll and on the cross-streets of Obnoxious and Annoying. Don't be the drunk guy who thinks if you say it louder, we'll laugh...it makes me really embarrassed for you. Bright Spot: Dr. David Krumholtz. Love him! (I really do like this show, but that's why the bad bits make me want to give my own KO impression and write about where he went wrong.)

I'm guessing he hasn't gone near the internet since the MightyBigTV debacle about a decade ago.

Oh, Lord. I was there for that. It was...less than fun.

I could see that, but it makes him wrong, when he writes about it now, to have the same picture in mind. Although, of course, there are still stupid comments and people making up dumb names to use online...

It's actually particularly impressive that he's managed to hold onto the worldview given that he fucking wrote The Social Network. One assumes that research was involved somewhere in that process.

One would think...

I am watching True Blood with new eyes now, but...Tara. Is there no fixing her? Could she not even be a cool vampire? I read people complaining about how she was a lame human, and then she was briefly a cool but random bi MMA fighter, and that barely lasted. First she was a twitchy vampire, then a suicidal one, and then the worst poledancer (seriously--with muscles like those, she should be able to do some amazing stuff on the pole) that ever died, and now--drinking on the compelled chick from school--is that even rewarding? I'd much rather compel her to lie there and hate it. If she wants it, even compelled, where's the real fun at? Well, I hope she comes down and hates herself for it--do people remember after?

Lafayette is the only one I feel for on the show--and Jesus to a lesser degree, but there's no sense of worry there, what with the dearly departed and stuff.

Tara could compell her to remember. Otherwise, what sort of revenge is that?

The very shallowest type, and not very imaginative. The reason there can be fates worse than death is because of living with the knowledge.

The who with the what now?!
