rockNrollaDIM Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 It's kind of embarrassing for this to have to follow Breaking Bad every Sunday. No wonder I am always nitpicking it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) As mentioned, the show's big problem is that from Day 1 it shoehorned two major romantic subplots in our face and then proceeded to expand one of them from a love triangle into a love quadrangle.Did they just sow the seeds for a love pentagon with that Sloan comment a minute ago????

Travod Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 There are too many people involved there.So was his message "I never stopped loving you" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedarpoint1111 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 There are too many people involved there.So was his message "I never stopped loving you" ?That is definitely what they want us to think. Good season finale, but by far not the best episode of the season. The Sloan comment was very random imo. They should have at least hinted at some kind of love connection before throwing that at us.Hopefully next season they fix some of the problems. Overall, this is one of the better shows I watched this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Wait- that was the season finale?? :lol:How stupid can this show get????? The premise is that it's supposed to be a snappy, intelligent show with major social and political commentary. Instead we get an unnatural, idiotic clusterfuck about 20-40somethings acting like 6th graders, with a side job as reporters.I hate to sound like Sasha Stone but why exactly also are the women on this show so retarded? Their every move is dictated by whatever guy wants to screw them, not just in general but in THAT. EXACT. MOMENT. Seriously. Maggie has a crush on Jim for a year, ditto Jim, they finally admit it to each other and start to hook up. Maggie goes to Don's apartment with the intention of dumping him and then he asks her to move in with him so SHE FORGETS ALL ABOUT JIM AND MOVES IN WITH HIM??? :rofl:Oh and someone said it before, but now Sloan pops in to make it a love rectangle--- which, if you include Maggie, is actually now a love Octagon!

rockNrollaDIM Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 All that said, the show still is moderately entertaining and I might just stick around. Especially if Sorkin listens to the critics and makes some changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Fuck the critics. I'm on episode 5 right now on demand and the episode 4 ending with the Gabby Giffords story was so poignant and touching. It might be my favorite part of the series so far.

DeeCee Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 That's the problem with this show. There are parts that are absolutely brilliant like that and then it's back to the most excruciatingly painful love triangle in the history of television. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozmeesah Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Eh, I just ignore those parts when they come on because the brilliant sections easily make up for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 It was dumb and preachy, but entertainingly so. I'll probably watch the second season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 The only thing that irks me is using a "republican" to bash the party and the tea party. At least throw a little stuff towards the liberals. Anyway, loved the first season a lot more than I thought I would.

Gopher Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 The irony about Sorkin's anti-internet rage is that this show is equivalent to a series of angry blog posts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I know, for 99% of the time Will is basically a liberal's idea of an ideal republican. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
