    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.
