Also, Sorkin makes it pretty clear whose opinion he favors on this issue with the naive, self-righteous "I'm gonna win this time" remark that ends what was otherwise the closest he's ever gotten on this show to creating a two-sided debate. And while we're on the subject of context, it's also important to remember…

So… what you're saying is that Don did remove the agency of an alleged rape victim, but he did it for different, more noble reasons?

"I don't think you understand what quotation marks signify." - Aaron Sorkin

Let Homeland Be Homeland, I say. It has long since abandoned any sense of reality and functions best as a fun, dumb, wham-bam espionage thriller. Come to think of it, exactly how realistic is the original concept of this series that it's supposedly straying away from? A bipolar CIA agent spies on a war hero who may or…

I love how Lockhart punctuated his very obvious attempt at chivalry by throwing a lady to the floor, only to have his big heroic moment thwarted by a panic room door timer. Also, did it not occur to Lockhart that the whole reason the room had a 60 second countdown before unlocking was to allow people like Lockhart to…

I literally laughed out loud when Charlie died, because the internet. And I laughed even more when everyone started Looking Concerned in Super Slow Motion to the dulcet tune of "Oh Shenandoah". And then just as I finished laughing… The Ghost Dad reveal happened. I don't think Aaron Sorkin's done with TV, I think TV's…

"The internet was created with wonderful intentions, but its potential to be used for evil is too great, therefore we must all stop using the internet, forever." - Aaron Sorkin

Someone should really tell Aaron Sorkin that "everybody knows when they're being patronized."

"In English, Raven. What does that mean?" - was probably the worst use of what should already be an illegal line of dialogue in any tv show or film. Can it get any closer to layman's terms than "once I crack the encryption"?

FWIW, his Dear Penthouse "joke" was in reference to Hallie writing about her personal experience on the Plan B pill. Pretty vile to take Hallie's decision to merge biographical with editorial on a hot button issue and compare it to literary pornography if you ask me, especially considering the fact that this op-ed…

Well first of all she has the benefit of being right - that is, until she posts a very personal piece about her relationship with Jim. The problem I have with this plot point is that it exists solely to undergird Jim's [read: Sorkin's] position about "new media" journalism by casting Hallie as an amoral…

seriously, how far is the neck from the shoulder, or did she not learn that in farm school? also, who woulda thought that a high-strung officer (who that same day threatened a fellow officer with her service weapon) would think to reach for her gun after being stabbed by surgical scissors?

Hallie's Carnivore article was newsworthy for the simple fact that the general public deserves to know that a huge fucking asshole like Jim Harper actually exists in their world.

What possible character motivation could there be for Beth to do what she did? Presumably Beth cares about what happens to the people in her group. Even if one does entertain the notion that Beth sacrificed herself to end Yawn's authoritarian rule, surely she had NO fucking idea that things would play out the way they…

For all its flaws, this episode had one of the most perfect moments of the series. When Morgan laughs in the church, it isn't because he's still crazy - in fact, it's one of his sanest moments. He laughs because of what he sees written along the archway above the altar: "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has…

Imagine all the paranoid stoned people watching the good wife. Pure terror.

This is starting to feel like Aaron Sorkin's Dogville. I hated nearly every one of Lars Von Trier's films until Dogville, which felt like a moral and philosophical repudiation of everything he'd done before. Hopefully this final season maintains its current course and ends up being The Education of Will McAvoy rather…

This episode deserves at least an A- just for the simple fact that a character managed to comically sprint further than 50 feet without Sorkin tripping them over something.

Somewhere in Chicago, the juror with APD is still haunted by the enigmatic lyrics in Judge Cuesta's song: "Sheep Contraband! Bah, bah, bahhhhh!"

At first I thought that was just some kind of PI-nomenclature that I just wasn't hip enough to know. It wasn't till later that I thought I was having a stroke.
