Anyways, I thought it was a good hour. They did a good job covering the Boston marathon storyline. The 2nd storyline with Neal and the stolen documents was basically a callback to The West Wing (the country named in the documents was also used in an episode of that show)

It's a shame this is the last season and we only have 5 more hours left. I wish HBO would have just hired a new head writer and showrunner since Aaron Sorkin wasn't really motivated to make this show anymore. I'm sure there are so many quality Executive Producers out there who could continue to make the Newsroom a quality show.

Are they addressing any of the loose ends from the end of last season? Like all the

[Show spoiler]resignations and lawsuits

[thenexus6]

Good episode, boy

[Show spoiler]worst green screen at the end though on the balcony

[A Sith Lord?]

Hate that this show is ending.

Last two episodes have been extremely sad.

I hate the show is ending also one of the best. Great show all the way though is Aaron Sorkin is basically saying that citizen journalists can go do something anatomically impossible. I mostly with agree with Sorkin's take on twitter is for Jimmy Fallon not nightly news.

did any one get that the person in jail with will was

[Show spoiler]related to him and not real?

Yeah.

[Show spoiler]when they showed the bed rolled up and empty twice when he first came in and left I knew. Then when he and will were going at it. Reminded me of House and his hallucinations

Never noticed that, I am never very good at things like that.

A rough week for me. Series finale of Sons of Anarchy and Newsroom this week.

I have always wanted to see the episodes of SOA that come out day and date but I don't get the channel that shows them first run I have FX Canada but there still on season 5. I have always had to wait until August for the Blu ray to see it and I always hated that till just now.

Really? FX Canada is 2 seasons behind? That's absurd.

I suspected as much when the cellmate asked Will if he was afraid of meeting someone in jail that he'd put away as a prosecutor, and Will said something to the effect of that's why he was supposed to be in Solitary.

It was pretty much confirmed though when Will

[Show spoiler]was taking down the photos, and in the one of him and his father fishing, it was clear that the cellmate was his father

.

It's funny, because I've been seeing the actor playing the cellmate around lately. I remember him as one of the detectives in the first season of the Poppy Montgomery show Unforgettable, but recently he's been a regular in Gracepoint. And just last night I spotted him in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

The ending of this episode was a definite kick in the 'nads. I didn't expect

[Show spoiler]Charlie to die; I figured that he'd had a stroke rather than a fatal heart attack

.

[RandyK]

Wasn't really surprised at the ending.

[Show spoiler]All season long I've been wondering how Charlie gets so angry all the time without blowing a gasket.

Really going to miss the show. It's one of my favorites and this season has been fantastic.

[jayembee]

I just hope that Olivia Munn (Sloan) gets a regular gig elsewhere after this. She's been an absolute treat on this show.

I've been wondering that since the beginning of the series lol.

I thought this last weeks episodes was the last but the series finally is week.

[Riddler The Slag]

That ending was a punch to the gut! Poor

[Show spoiler]Charlie.

On the plane, I thought Maggie was going to take Jim to the bathroom instead of back to their original seats.

I think that was indeed her plan, but the turbulence business made her change course, as it were.

[Bodyslide]

One of the Best Series Finale's. Sad to see it go.
