Loved the guy that Maggie overhears on the train who won't believe she's not going to write up an article about it. There's a disguised meet cute going on here as well. Do I sound like an asshole? I don't know what an asshole sounds like. I don't sound like Trump...
Sorkin makes me feels dumb.
Plot involving Neal being sent sensitive documents - to see them he needs an 'air gapped computer ' one that has no Internet access and never has had. (I don't think this is plausible as any computer would be tested before shipping, but it's a fun idea.) Will ends up going to jail for refusing to name the source, where he encounters the ghost of his father...
Funny writer's in-joke about Euripides and the three act structure - man climbs up a tree, people throw rocks at him, then he gets down.
The main target really ends up being 'public sourced content' and a really wonderful defence of the professionalism of journalism - carried out (in part) brilliantly when Sloan tears apart an employee whose app enables psychos to stalk celebrities.
Then ends by killing a main character (shades of WW again) and going full circle, to just before Season One begins. And why was it such a short (six episode) season? Because it received a critical bashing?
