Travod Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 And I didn't like it too much. There was like 45 minutes more relationship woes than I would like to have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I wonder how much dell and blackberry paid for product placement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 The e-mail thing was pretty stupid. A) who didn't see that coming? my grandmother wouldn't have made that mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Still haven't caught the second episode... does it live up to the first? I have a feeling that "rant" will be the peak of the show... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozmeesah Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I liked it, but no, doesn't live up to the first. However, that doesn't mean none of the rest of it will.I enjoyed seeing everything go wrong on the newscast. Once they start bringing in Owner!Jane Fonda it should get interesting. She'll be worried about ratings and corporate sponsors, everything that Mackenzie doesn't/doesn't want to care about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I think it would be best if they stuck to the newsroom/political aspect.. I could really do without the romantic melodrama, but it sounds like they're pushing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Yeah, the romantic stuff is kinda awful. Alison Pil (An actor I usually think is great) has a terrible character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Well it is an hour long drama. Of course there is going to be romance in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 The fact that there IS romance in the plot isn't the problem, it's just the fact that so far I don't like the way it's been handled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 So this episode covered a 6 month span. Interesting tactic but it does bring the storyline a lot closer to the present day which will make it a bit more topical.Concerning the romance storylines, the anchor who Don works for had a great remark that I hope the show takes to heart (I paraphrase here):Either make it work and be happy, or let it fall apart and get the fuck over it.

rockNrollaDIM Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I finally caught the second episode, agree it deflated a bit. I know it's unrealistic but I fucking love the snappy dialogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 I liked the third episode. The romance plots are still dragging this down, in fact the writing on some characters in general is. But I enjoyed the news stuff and Sam Waterson is easily the best thing about this. The scene with him and Fonda was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedarpoint1111 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 The third episode was better than the second. I love the addition of Jane Fonda. She plays a bitch exceptionally well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Maybe I missed something, but wasn't Allison Pill's boyfriend supposed to go to the other show? If so, why is he still here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozmeesah Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 He did. But he works in the same building, maybe a couple of floors away. He was in this one because they had the anchor for his show, Elliott, working the Election Night coverage with the other anchors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
