Zack, for someone who rated the episode a B+, you really don't seem to like the show…"So let's all pretend it will keep getting better next fall," is pretty low…Among many other jabs taken here… I think if you're going to give a solid grade to the show, stop focusing so heavily on what you don't like about it and

Sorry, Zack, but your analysis of Merle's decision to let Michonne go is completely incorrect. You're assuming that his unstable prior behavior is what is meant to justify letting Michonne go - but you need to rewatch the episode, because that's not the case. It was all spurred from when Michonne asked Merle, "Did you

Has anyone else had what I call the "pacing debate" with fellow Walking Dead fans? I personally think the pace of season 2 - and the pace of episodes like this one (slow, drawn-out, character driven) contain some of the show's best work. I think when it becomes completely plot driven, and the pace is going at 500 mph,

The fact that this episode was rated a C+ is astounding to me. I personally think it was the best episode of the season. Simiply because it was memorable. Survivor to me, as a viewer since season 1, is comprised of mostly unmemorable episodes that simply move the action forward - and those rare episodes that you'll

"it sounds like you guys are hard on the show because your boss told you to be" is a personal attack…hahaha yes, yes, my cutting attack landed. How can a man survive after he's told that his opinion seems suspect? How much harder on him could I possibly be? Jeez. Had to bring my ball back to the yard to respond to

I'm very well aware that a product is judged for what it is, not what it could be. I've stated (multiple times) that I think the current product is good. I never said the product was poor, but could be good. I said it is good but could be great. I'm fully aware that a product should be graded for what it is. That was

You're obviously missing the overall point. My assertion is that The Newsroom is better than the A.V. Club would have you believe. My point, in one sentence, is "The Newsroom is a good show that has flaws, but once those flaws are tightened up (as any show needs after only 1 season), it can be a great show that is

Speculating this deeply into Will's "repubicanism" as a means to attack the show is a bit of a weak point…Your last point actually proves my prior one about Mackenzie. It has been stated in the show that Will is Pro-Life. However, Mack is not. What he said about abortion was on-air, where Mackenzie is pulling the

I definitely believe that Will's character is able to see the logic in political moves that go against rhetoric as long as they're for the good of country. That's the point that I'm making. I think the more liberal points that were being made on Newsnight were influenced by Mackenzie and there is a part of Will that

Todd — I think you and your colleagues have been too hard on this show from the get-go. I know an easy rebuttal to that point is that you're challenging shows to be better by pointing out their shortcomings. However, I really think that, on the whole, you guys missed the mark. I've read every Newsroom review the

I can relate to how Will's character is a Republican who believes the Republican party has been hijacked by lunatics, because those are my exact sentiments. America has forgotten what true Republicans are - and the segment where Will is describing what Republicans used to stand for was spot on. The unfortunate truth
