- TriviaDuring one of Sloan's interviews on the set, there is a tweet on the TV behind her saying that "Toby from The Office was cute." The person who played Toby in The Office (2005) is an executive producer of The Newsroom and directed this episode.
- GoofsAt the Moscow airport when Maggie and Jim wait in line for the tickets, the PA in the background says in Russian: "Attention, attention! Boarding continues for the flight to... Southern Urals". Southern Urals is about five times the size of Alaska and includes the entire country of Kazakhstan. Usually airlines are a bit more specific about where their flights go.
- Quotes
Cellmate: I've got an idea tell me the name. I didn't take an oath or anything, I'll say I'll give them the name on the condition they let us both out.
Will McAvoy: That's a hell of an idea.
Cellmate: Or I could just shake the name out of you.
Will McAvoy: Stand up.
[Both men stand up]
Will McAvoy: I want you to see that I've got four inches on you, and you're giving up thirty pounds. I'm not your wife, raise your hands above your hips and I will knock you the fuck into next week.
Cellmate: [will sits down] Your father was a drunk wasn't he?
The handling of a date rape storyline was both thought provoking and sensitive. Each episode seems to find a way to go through the full gamut of emotion; anger and outrage, laughter and wry smiling moments, heartwarming and uplifting, but this is the biggest roller-coaster of emotions packed into the 50 or so minutes.
Even the expected events seems to be teased out and made all the more sweeter when they finally happen. Aaron Sorkin is on fire with his writing and the cast all step up to make it happen.
The shocking end will keep you gripped and waiting for a week (or less if you are binging on DVD or streaming service).
