My favourite bits in "The Newsroom" Series 2, Episode 8, "Election Night Part 1"

• Marcia Gay Harden (Rebecca) saying she looked like "liquid sex".
• The Maggie's hair/Joey Heatherton quip (you have to be over 40 to get it)
• The beautifully edited scenes gearing up for the election night coverage
• Reece's manic recollection of his conversation with his mum, Leona (Jane Fonda)
• Taylor Warren sparring with Will and Sloan on the election night panel
• The good boyfriend/"you're fired" scene with Will and Mac.
• Charlie (everyone's favourite uncle, Sam Waterston) suddenly going postal in the final scene. By the way, he was the best thing about the 1974 version of "The Great Gatsby")

Looking forward to the season closer.

Just when I thought I couldn't love "The Newsroom" any more.... Two great actresses strutting their stuff

Just when I thought I couldn't love "The Newsroom" any more ... you get Episode 7, "Red Team III".
Two awesome actresses chewing up the scenery - Marcia Gay Harden playing the take-no-prisoners legal eagle, Rebecca, and Jane Fonda as media boss, Leona, wearing a kickass cocktail dress, pissed off (and a little pissed) because she missed out on Daniel Craig.
Calling Mac "Twiggy" and telling Charlie, Will and "Mc Mac": "You will resign when I fire you out of petty malice and not before!"
Adam Sorkin, rant maestro.
Fonda's last line in the episode will have you cheering.
