This season has been alot much enjoyable than the 1st, but still liked the 1st season. But sadly we will have to wait till the 8th for the next episode because HBO is getting ready for Boardwalk to air on the 8th it seems, couldve sworn just a week or 2 ago it was a late September show.I think this season has been some pretty good television so far. Tonight was the kind of show that Sorkin writes so well. It's a tense building pathos with a wholly unrealistic payoff appealing to our sense of decency and justice. It's the very traditional plot structure with our protagonists struggling through adversity only to be saved by a deus ex machina of people doing the right thing in spite of their better judgments. It is cathartic storytelling done very well.
I look forward to next week where it will all go off the rails again and that driving pathos slips into tiring bathos as Sorkin miserably tries to get out of his own way.
