You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Is this the right thread for The Newsroom?

Since it's HBO, this would be the place.

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

Is anything right about The Newsroom?

and that's OK right? I laugh when I'm supposed to laugh. I cry when I'm supposed to cry. It's a familiar fuzzy blanket of a show.

Compassionately intolerant

I feel the same way, Laga.

The Newsroom is Aaron Sorkin's Double Live Best Of album.

This is genius.

Well, that was one of the better True Blood's I've seen in a while. Terry's funeral was touching and the crosscutting to the rescue of the vamps was nicely done.

This season seems really diffuse even compared to usual (and more half-assed) but I liked this episode. Granted, I did miss a bunch of mid-season shows due to the involuntary relocation (I don't know where Rutger Hauer went, for instance) so it may have been a better or worse episode than I saw it as.
