I'm really confused about when Maggie cut her hair. The end of last week's episode showed her chopping her hair off and that seemed like it was right after she got back from Africa, but apparently it wasn't. Obviously they are jumping around this season and the timeline is all over the place, but that just made it more confusing.0

Yeah t is difficult enough to follow with the sorkin rapid fire dialog. Now they are jumping around in time too. Love the show but it is difficult to follow at times.Forced to endure, what I cannot forgive.0 -

he freezes because it was at that moment that he realized his dad was dead...and looking into the camera (realy at mackenzie) he says, "well, i guess it's just us now"
I saw the Inside the Episode they play On Demand and Sorkin said that Will has only 2 "critics" he cared about - his dad and the audience, so he was telling the audience that it was just them and him now.
Spoiler....Episode 6
Just finished tonight's episode - it totally seems obvious on the tape with the General that it was altered, because you can see the skip in the b'ball game in the background. Would have been nice if someone on the red team had noticed that... Really love this show.2013 Wrigley, Pittsburgh, Buffalo

Episode 7: Red Team III
Best episode yet.
I really love how the story was told at the table with the lawyers, and flashes back to what happened in September. Was HIMYM-esque. I hought this episode was the best yet. I don't know why I didn't think about who was sueing ACN before it was revealed that Jerry was fired, but it makes sense now. I love how they pretty much skip all of the election coverage. (I didn't want to relive that again...) And it makes sense as to how the show is going to go onto a 3rd season. Seemingly WIll & Sam was going to get fired, now Lansing wants to gain the audiences trust back = Season 3.
2 episodes left this season 2. What will they contain? Probably more of the lawyer arc explaining how she can prove it wasnt institutional failure? Will will be on air explaining to the audience what "News Night 3.0: Post Genoa" will be about? Almost certainly Don and Sloan get togeher.2003: 7/14 NJ ... 2006: 6/1 NJ, 6/3 NJ ... 2007: 8/5 IL ... 2008: 6/24 NY, 6/25 NY, 8/7 EV NJ ... 2009: 10/27 PA, 10/28 PA, 10/30 PA, 10/31 PA

I hope the next or last episodes has a scene with the lawyer making a case to a judge if not an actual trial, with the same flash forward/back style they've been using.
Loved Leona's ranting that was priceless.

i'm interested to see how sorkin concludes this story line...obviously, will, charlie and mac aren't going anywhere and with leona refusing their resignations it seems like they're gonna fight the lawsuit :corn:0
-
hated the leap that Leona won't accept their resignations. last season she wanted Will fired and now is not accepting their resignations?
and what was the end part with the lawyer saying don't accept their resignations? she has basically been trashing everyone every step of the way and now is on their side...huh?
the story of Charlie's source's about his dead son who worked at ACN was pretty shocking. good little twist there.
Don - have become a big fan of his character this year. thought he was kind of a douche in season 1 but his character has gotten way better this year. Liking him a lot more now. Sloane character has grown as well. given her much more depth than last year.0 -

Leona not accepting resignations is a great point that I was confused about at first but then forgot about it.
My prediction is that the lawyer (after finally hearing everyone's story) has found an angle to try to win the lawsuit. Im hoping that she will open up the next episode explaining that they do have a case and that WIll's job is saved.. Cause the only way to continue the show is if they all stay on ACN.
I feel the same way about Don. He has a very unique personality/style of humor/presenting himself that is much better from season 12003: 7/14 NJ ... 2006: 6/1 NJ, 6/3 NJ ... 2007: 8/5 IL ... 2008: 6/24 NY, 6/25 NY, 8/7 EV NJ ... 2009: 10/27 PA, 10/28 PA, 10/30 PA, 10/31 PA

leona has always supported will, charlie etc...except when it was affecting her other business interests (going after the kochs)...genoa doesn't do that and as she said she love acn...it's the favorite part of her empire and she knows that jerry dantana cooked the interview and the story and is pissed she's getting sued by him and she is not one to back down to people like that
as for the lawyer...remember she is acn's lawyer...it is her job to get the complete truth so she can setup an adequate defense and after hearing it all she knows that they shouldn't resign...the only true guilty party here is jerry dantana0 -

SOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!It was a great finale. I was very happy with the way they left it. I thought Sorkin wasn't going to answer as many questions as he did.. It was good all around, didn't have me complaining about anything.
