Havng watched the 2nd episode last night, I'm more than sad that there are only 4 left in the season - there's something about a well-written Sorkin show that just leaves you wanting more. I really enjoyed the contrast from last week's debut to this week - seeing the imperfection in this new team cause rather believable cluster####s was very fun tv. Allison Pill really shone this week and I'm loving her interaction with the guy who plays the senior producer.

Jeff Daniels is pitch perfect in this role - so hard to believe he was Harry from Dumb & Dumber some days.

And March - I think they become expert enuf as they have multiple people looking at different angles on off-shore drilling and feeding them to the producers & on-air media. At least that's what I'd guess happens when a real disaster/crisis occurs in actual newsrooms anyways. Also, don't forget these are news junkies - they likely are much more involved generally in a wide variety of topics that allows them to dive in more quickly than most folks. It wasn't totally implausible to me anyways....
