Well stated. I got a chuckle when Lisa suggested the only two options for a woman are abortion or irresponsibly raising the kid, as if adoption never occurred to her (or Will, apparently, which means it didn't occur to Sorkin).

I get that. My complaint is more that no one ever mentions her discussing it on her own show. It's played as if she either says it on News Night or it isn't said.

Biden wasn't exactly squeaky clean in that debate with the facts, either.

I laughed at the pants gag. It was funny.

I don't think people have forgotten who Sorkin is. His over-reliance on the interpersonal relationships of co-workers has been a common flaw in all of his shows except The West Wing. Not surprisingly, Sports Night (45 episodes) and Studio 60 (22 episodes) are not exactly the benchmarks of success for TV series

Yeah, the whole mock debate just seem counter-productive, like did they actually think they were going to impress reps from the RNC by having Will hammer the "candidates" when they answer based on cobbled together quotes and not what the actual candidate might actually be thinking at that moment.

The problem with the "new debate format" is that it wasn't a debate format. It was Will getting a forum to interview each of the candidates. When they said it was a debate did they mean it was with him? When they pointed out the format was all about Will, they were right.

This had to be the most awkward episode yet (not a bad thing) just in terms of all the character interactions. And so heartbreaking about that kid.

It would probably be that Jesse discovers that Walt poisoned Brock and that would be the final thing that turns him
