The Newsroom: Episode 2

Time to discuss this week's The Newsroom.  I'll leave the discussion of particulars for the comments so that slackers don't bitch about spoilers.  That being said...

Point 1:  Hey, look at that, Kim Pine isn't Dule Hill.

Point 2:  At first I didn't much care for the reappearance of the Bumblebee joke.

Then I watched the episode two more times.

The Newsroom is the good parts from other Sorkin shows recycled into something new, yet familiar.  Watching an episode of the Newsroom is like watching a hybrid episode of Sports Night, West Wing, and Studio 60...with the bad parts removed.

This may be the best Sorkin series so far, since it's naught but the good parts from his other three series smashed together.
