JoToRoBo Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 they did that fast forward shit with weeds too Weeds last season wasn't as good as The Newsroom's though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I guess Sorkin was having issues with HBO so 6 was the best we were going to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 This season is SO good...I don't want it to end..... maybe it will be a surprise series finale / re-launch?! Everyone leaves and starts their own online news network.....please please please let this random idea I have be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 so am i the only one who despised where the last episode went? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eight1echo Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 It was pretty cringe worthy even for Sorkin who can easily rub people the wrong way. I really like his work but even for me, that last episode...damn. This season started out so strong too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 it wasn't even the whole college rape story line- i appreciated that back and forth debate that the two shared, and thought it made for one of the better scenes of the season. but the internet needs to freak out, because of course it does. "someone's talking about rape? THEY'RE WRONG." obvious gripe is with maggie and jim, because come on. we're still on this? but most of all, the moment- like the nano second that charlie paused, i said out loud "oh come on don't fucking die". there were no words actually spoken... that's just how hard my eyes rolled.

radiatorhums Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 so am i the only one who despised where the last episode went? This season has been frustrating me and Sunday's episode was the worst out of them. I don't really like when Sorkin does romance, he's just so bad at it. I'm kind of glad this is coming to an end. Also, the Charlie heart attack was really predictable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eight1echo Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 The whole Jim and Maggie thing last episode could have been left out. It just felt like they were so desperately trying to include more real life world events in the storyline, which is usually OK when it actually has a point like in the earlier seasons with the gas spill, etc. The Snowden thing was completely pointless, and then when Mac was reciting all the news they would have to cut in order to include the things Charlie wanted...groan.

I felt the same way (Groan) with how long they stretched out the whole "don't report the Boston Bombing until it's in the AP system" angle, even when it was obvious something was happening. Dragged that idea to the ground in season one. A minute of screentime where they are making the decision is fine, but it was just too much.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 So sad the show is over. That wrapped up real well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditc586 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 So sad the show is over. That wrapped up real well agreed, the last season was weak as baby shit but that last episode summed up things solidly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 also thought it was a very well-written episode. my only real gripes were with how many tropes they rolled out in about a 10 minute interval, spanning back to the end of last week- a death, a pregnancy, a new relationship, hallucinations. but by the end of everything, they all came together really, really well- especially the part where will was on about hallucinations with the bartender. oh, and i was amused by mac being as clueless about the conversation in the car as i was. "do you even know what the fuck we're talking about?" so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I thought it was well done too, almost makes up for the season. It was a nice choice to take the focus out of the newsroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
