Critics of this show pretend like everyone was all "yeah, whatever, I'm going back to Minecraft" when the Bin Laden raid was announced live.
Shit was an event.

It's not so much that people are denying the event it's status but rather it's about how it was used in the show for melodramatic purposes to make the main character look solemn and correct. If it had just played out with the journalists and pilots cheering without the whole confrontation between the character and flight attendant people would be fine.
The point of that scene is that he's losing his shit on an airplane when it's totally not okay to lose your shit on an airplane in a post-9/11 world.
His pause is coming to an understanding of what the pilots and flight crew are being dicks about - the original hijacking completely changed Western air travel.
Was it really necessary for him to refer to the flight attendant as crazy lady? It just reeks of sexism.
One of my fav shows and I've been on a mission to civilize for years since
What does it mean?I thought it had good moments, but other times felt like a parody of Sorkin, like Sorkin dialed to 11. Ended up dropping it because of that.
I don't think (jk) is needed.I liked it, it's also outstandingly pretentious and pompous. Every one in it is so self-righteous, so just like Era (jk)
Never watched West Wing but that was the same feeling I got from Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

Several actually, but I think I see the one you're referring to. Sam Waterston is godlike in every single episode as well. I don't think I've ever seen an actor channel such a perfect cable news president. He's a bit cliché at times I guess, but great nonetheless, down to the bow tie.Season 2 is strong. Interesting premise and a show stopping scene from Jane Fonda.
There's something fundamentally hilarious to me about Sorkin making a show whose premise is that good journalism can educate the public, improve the national discourse, and change the world, but then have American politics and culture play out almost exactly as it does in our world.
At least with the West Wing, where Bartlett was an idealised President, Sorkin didn't really follow our reality and could depict Bartlett actually achieving things that weren't achieved in reality!
Wouldn't be Sorkin if they didn't.I liked it, but they actors speak really fast. Not ideal if you aren't a native speaker. A season about 2016 would be fun.
