Fair enough, fair enough. Though he was also apparently at the end even past what was necessary - she was pretty convinced that there were, what, five or so takes that provided what he wanted for the scene when she stormed out. I’m not going to argue that Sorkin doesn’t want any number of things both ways, though - what might annoy me most is how he wants to have this show be self-therapy, or self-exposition, or whatever, while also being an entertaining TV drama at the same time. 
But the lawyer was getting her information from Jordan. And Jordan is Harriet’s friend, and Matt’s boss, so it would make sense that she would know about Matt and Harriet, and all those details. But how Matt felt about working with someone 4 years prior is a lot more distant, and a lot less likely to be something that Jordan was aware of.
This may seem like a small thing in the context of TV unreality, but it seemed like Luke was doing many multiple takes of a shot which not only sprayed blood on white sheets, but involved a squib attached to an actor’s head. I can see having several sheets, & laundering sheets to retake it, if there are serious issues with the shots. But if whatever the guy is called who handles squibs let him get away with that, it would be a serious dereliction of responsibility. There’s a limit to how many times you can set off a small explosion by someone’s head before you do some serious damage.
Yeah, that bugged me as well. That scene would have clearly been at least three shots, stitched together in edit. The cost of having to shoot the entire scene, with all of the likely reshoots due to actor/prop/set/effect failure, would’ve been prohibitive as well.
Me, as well. It bugs me when other shows pull this crap, too - hero walks through an alley, gets into a gun battle, shoots one bad guy, get shot by another, director suddenly yells “cut!” and gosh-golly-gee they wuz shootin’ a mooovie! Even within the scene there are multiple cuts from different camera angles, so why are you playing this childish game with your audience and cheating at it? Were there multiple cuts in the bedroom scene when it was first shown - her snorting the “coke”, talking to the teenager, playing with the gun… etc? I forget.
Yeah, but I don’t think they intended to fool us into thinking she was doing coke and playing with teens, if that’s what you’re getting at. They talked about the fake coke and that she was on the set earlier.
I’ve given up on ever seeing a realistic movie shoot displayed in a movie or tv show, so I passed on that.
What really bugged me, though, was that her white outfit was spotted with blood after the first take. And she kept it on for the next take!
Take after take. Sometimes the outfit was spotted, sometimes not. Sometimes she had blood on her face, sometimes not. Didn’t anybody notice?
Of course, this is the same show that tried to convince us that shaved coconut was an acceptable substitute for fake snow. There are times I wonder whether Sorkin has blackmail tapes on the actors to make them go along with this nonsense.
If the show never comes back after hiatus, it wouldn’t upset anyone, I don’t think.
Probably off-topic, but was the movie Luke and Harry were making about real people and events? I don’t know much about the Stones.
It’s supposed to be about Anita Pallenberg.
Wow, a living person! And Sorkin implied through Luke that she committed manslaughter. I wonder if that’s libelous?
Then you’d be wrong in your thinking.
OK, we’re up to one. Any others? 
I used the link on the Wiki page of Anita Pallenberg, which took me to IMDb. The photo gallery on her page has one picture of her. It shows the back of her head.
Who’s running that place, Aaron Sorkin?
Two.
I mourn the loss of anything witty and with intelligent dialogue on TV, even if I don’t watch it. It means one more hour of Deal or No Deal every week. I doubt we’ll see a network support a show like this again for a long time.
Three. And one of my cats would miss it too, 'cause she always sits on my lap and naps when I’m watching it.
Three.
Flawed as it is, it’s still better then 95% of what’s on.
Four. I had high hopes largely unmet (I’d call it Sorkin’s 3rd best series), but I still looked forward to it every week.
And the booby-trapped baby was the funniest thing I’ve seen on TV this year (including so-called comedies).
I think chopping off the baby’s head was funnier – I laughed even though it was obviously coming.
The show was frustrating: wildy uneven, with some great stuff and utter crap. The dialog made it worth it, but I think it was a mistake to stick with the romance angles. Matt and Harriet’s relationship was tiresome; it would have been more interesting to focus on their working together with a history. Danny and Jordan was marginally better, mostly because there was less of it.
The biggest disappointment was that it was beginning to look like the show was getting its legs just before Christmas (the Christmas episode was quite good, especially with the “City of New Orleans” subplot), but the next three were crappy and cliched.
And so much was left out to make room for the romance. A show that focused more on making an episode than the stuff that had nothing to do with the broadcast. The issues with trying to do an hour and half a week with a writing staff of four (three of which didn’t seem to be able to get anything on the air). Shows about the guest stars: what happens when the guest host falls sick on Thursday?
It could have been much much better.
Yeah, I would definitely miss it too. I’m not under the illusion that it’s really all that great, but I’ll still take it over… anything reality-related, almost all of the CSI-derivatives, anything from the Desperate-Housewives-prime-time-soap derivatives, Heroes, Lost, or most of the sitcoms. Which pretty much means that there are about four or five things that I like better on network TV, tops, even as mediocre as this show can be.
What am I, seven? I’ll absolutely miss it, even as I acknowledge its flaws. Even when it’s not as great as I know it could be, it’s better than 98% of the crap that’s on.
I’ll miss it. It has some great moments, and the acting is very good (huge kudos to Matthew Perry). I wish it would have a chance to grow, but… nowadays you’re either hugely popular or you’re out, I guess.
