| 0:00.0 | This episode very much continues to build on what the last episode was doing in terms of jumping the shark. |
| 0:14.7 | Will kind of Riley texted me halfway through the episode. |
| 0:17.5 | We were watching at the same time that, hey, you know, at least this isn't about a late night comedy show anymore. But yeah, like, what the fuck are we doing here? |
| 0:24.9 | Awful stuff. However, I did start having fun about halfway through because there were little |
| 0:29.9 | sprinklings of the old sorkin magic throughout this one. And that kind of reassured me because |
| 0:35.3 | I was worried we were going to have nothing to talk about |

| 1:24.5 | the show is, it's completely adrift. There's so little connection with the whole mandate that this show |
| 1:31.0 | staged in the first couple of episodes. |
| 1:33.6 | I don't know what it's about, why we're here. |
| 1:37.0 | It must have been funereal on the set of this show. |
| 1:40.6 | The fact that Sorkin is able to maintain the reputation he has is only because nobody has |
