Also on Studio 60 re: Sorkin plargarizing himself. The thing with the bat and the number reminded me of the episode in Sports Night where Casey (or was it Dan?) picked up the woman while she was on a date with some other dude who was too dumb to realize that Casey's (Dan's ?) name and number on a cocktail napkin wasn't just an autograph.
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

Who the hell is Strindberg? Apparently theatre is a big gap in my knowledge.

I think that was Casey, Sue.

erika, was it Pixley that he picked up?

Yeah, and I gotta echo everyone that heard about that and say "Pixley?" Even though the whole walking-and-talking? A bit tough to manage for me.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
"Pixley? Her name is Pixley?"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
And I meant to echo whoever said they liked Ricky and Ron, cuz I do too. If they didn't mean to hire some guys who seem like mensches, they probably shouldn't have hired Handler and Jacott.

New York Magazine has a great interview with Stephen Colbert in this month's issue. If you read it, make sure you look at the last page--it's a list of Stephen's suggested talking points for both parties' candidates on the current major issues.
On Prayer in Schools: Democrats--There is no place in public school for God, no matter how you choose to define Him … or not define Him … or Her … or It … or Them … or … We? Republicans--The public schools need our prayers, because they’re sure not getting our money.

Somehow I pictured Dana in her room that night talking to her mirror or something in a voice going "Hi. My name is Pixley. My parents thought I was so sweet they gave me a name that sounds like candy." Not that I know anyone that petty or bitter. Much. But Casey is cute. And she's already coming in second to Danny anyway. That can do things to a person. And "Pixley" is empirically something to make fun of.

That was me, and I think the viewers weren't meant to *dislike* Ricky and Ron. I think it had to be set up that there was friction in the past, and a grudge (whether justified or not) on both sides, but they're basically a couple of guys who are pissed off that they got the shaft out of the blue and are now worried about their jobs.
This week's ep made them a lot more 3-dimensional, for me.
