Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ironically enough, that "game" has spoilers in it. If you're still watching The Wire for the first time and want to stay unspoiled(though, honestly, can we ever?) you might not want to watch that, although it is funny as hell.

I stopped watching when I got confused, and luckily can't remember what was confusing me.

Well, that's okay then. I suppose The wire is not like other shows when it comes to spoiling, but it's funny there are real plot points in it.

So, did everyone else kind of fall off The Newsroom? I fell behind after episode 2, and have finally started to get caught up. It goes without saying, of course, that the Sorkin self-recycling continues unabated (that's why you should let the other writers in the room actually write episodes, Aaron...), but I have to say I thought episode 3 was okay, but episode 4, the one about tabloid journalism and culminating in the Gabby Giffords shooting totally got me. And of course, being Sorkin, he did it in the most ham-fisted, anvilicious ways possible, and yet I still totally fell for it.
Some day I may have to conduct a deeper examination of why I am so willing to overlook Sorkin's massive flaws in favor of his good points, but today is not that day.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
episode 4, the one about tabloid journalism and culminating in the Gabby Giffords shooting totally got me.
The one where whatshisface gets drinks thrown at him over and over because he can't stop being an asshole? That was the one that made me glad there were no more press screeners to watch.

I watched it all, but it's totally uneven and shit.(They pay me to write reviews, I swear) And no young person would EVER think "LOL" is "Lots of Love". Unless it's those teens from that Amish in the city show...they might. But they aren't PAsin the Big Apple are they?) Sean, I blame the media blamers.(Sorkin would hate that I quoted Dale Gribble instead of him) Switching egomaniac showrunner gears(Although I think Simon women are pretty real and/or pleasingly bad-assed) New Treme, yesterday. Haven't watched it yet.

That's the worst part, Jess! It was Sorkin at his hackiest, and I knew it as it was happening, and I still fell for it. I am all ashamed. See? This is my shame face.

BWAHAHAHAHA! Hilarious, erika.
Also, somehow I had managed to completely not know that Treme was a Simon show until just today. Or that Lester Freamon was in it too (I knew Bunk was in it). All of these facts may have just pushed it to the top or near the top of the What to Watch Next queue for my roommate and I.
