Preach!
Aaron Sorkin doesn't take any stance whatsoever. He simply presented two sides to an argument and leaves the viewers to think about it. The fact that there is a drawback to a rape victim using the media as a way to seek justice is a comment on society. In the episode, she makes a decision, but we never get to see the…
I saw it as a comment on society: we need to change the way rape is dealt with, since rape victims have a hard time coming forward. Sorkin was reiterating this fact about modern society, and I thought he nailed it.
Social media is unpredictable and unreliable. Also, slut-shaming is a thing. So no, I'm not being ironic.
It's really sad to see people pass misinformed judgments on an episode they have not seen. I'm merely telling people to stop wasting time on this show if they hate it.
Sorkin is not the kind of writer who dumbs things down for people. With that in mind, I think he did an excellent job.
It's not the best article, but it does a somewhat okay job of explaining the episode. Basically, Don knows that Charlie would've been against the interview if it weren't for Lucas. But since Charlie is now siding with Lucas, Don purposefully dumps the interview in an effort to bring back the old Charlie.
Seriously, watch the episode! Or, read this: http://tvrecaps.ew.com/reca…
*facepalm* She made the decision to go ahead with the interview! Don's reason for cancelling it was explicitly stated in the scene where he, Mac, and Sloane confront Charlie ("We are staging an intervention!").
Don was simply giving her the opportunity to weigh both sides of the argument before making a decision. That's it! It's not that complicated or controversial! She voiced her opinion, and he gave her an alternate viewpoint to consider. In the end, she made a decision. Why is this so hard to understand?
I get the feeling like I'm one of the very few people who actually understood the episode.
Huh?
It amazes me how so many stupid people waste time trying to understand a show that goes way over their heads.
They should absolutely be allowed to speak their minds. However, using the internet and social media as a means of bringing justice upon the rapist is a very risky move. Once the story gets out their, anyone can publicly voice any ill-informed opinion as they please. Things like "slut-shaming" occur as a result. Don…
If you could not grasp it the first time, then this is the wrong show for you. Simple as that.
The show's opinion was that rape victims should avoid using the internet as a court of law since the internet is a never-ending black hole filled with misinformation. Once something becomes public, we lose all control of it. That was the point of the episode.
This was such an incredibly stupid review. The author completely missed the point of everything in this episode. I mean, seriously? Don cancelled her interview to protect her? You can't draw conclusions from half an episode! Any moron can tell you that! I'm sorry, but Libby does not understand this episode at all (and…
