    Sweet!

    Somehow I missed this last summer, but the 1st episode was on the other night on DISH network and I was impressed. If HBO does as usual, I'll be able to get caught up in the weeks leading up to the season premiere.
    "Then the Spirit of God hovered over the water, and God said, Let there be music, and there was Pearl Jam."

    Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

    Yep, set your DVR it is good.

    I tried but since no episodes were scheduled, no go! At least now I know to be checking around the end of May/ first of June for the reruns

    Look on line. You should be able to find it somewhere. I am sure they will run another marathon leading up to the new episode. They always do.

    Wow, this show is fucking phenomenal. Got my wisdom teeth out today and looks like I will be spending this weekend getting up to date.

    Outstanding stuff

    Just watched the entire 1st season on demand over the past few days. Pretty damn good. It can be a bit preachy at times and some of the dialogue can be a bit crazy but that is to be expected w/ Sorkin. Also, great song selections for some of the montages. "Fix You" by Coldplay was just awesome. "High and Dry" by Radiohead was great and of course "Baba O'Riley".

    I was never a huge fan of Olivia Munn. Now she's one of my favorites.

    Cannot wait. Occupy Wall Street stuff should be good.

    I also look forward to Breaking Bad, final episodes...

    Looking forward to season 2 kicking off on Sunday night. It looks like Will's "American Taliban" comment about the Tea Party caused a real shitstorm. I'm also looking forward to some more Olivia Munn. :D

    here's to hoping they tone down the preachiness and unrealistic sorkin dialogue a bit. wasn't a huge fan of season 1, but liked it enough to give it a shot this summer.

    Love the preachiness. Very much needed these days, unfortunately. There were very few positions they took that can be argued

    nah. way too much for my liking. especially when it's coming from a bunch of actors who look like they're in high school.

    it's been a pet peeve of mine since the west wing. the weird thing is i like his work, for the most part though. but never, in any aspect of life, have i witnessed conversations that run so seamlessly as they do in literally every scene this guy has ever written. it's annoying!

    that's the point...it's a throwback to the preston sturgess movies of the 40's where the dialog was fast-paced and staccato...i love it and wish i could talk like it :D

    oh really? not familiar with this sturgess fellow. i'm always telling my wife or whoever i'm watching it with "people don't talk like that!" :lol:

    also--the blond chick is super annoying.

    As good as I was expecting. 8-)

    I am dying to figure out what the hell Operation Genoa is. I really like the flashforward approach to telling 2 stories.
