MrAristocrates posted:Season 1, Episode 4: “I’ll Try To Fix You” It's been awhile since I have watched this episode, but if memory serves right the points from your review that I quote pretty much summarize the episode and the series in general. This episode really is the one that sets up a "traditional" tone and plot for an episode, and it's a show that tries to take itself too seriously that ends up circling back around at silly than serious. Most of us who watched these episodes live will agree with your thoughts that I've pulled out in the quote. The Fix You scene is terrible. Anything Jim/Maggie is eye-rolling and terrible. Neal's pursuit for Bigfoot continues to show up through the rest of the season (add it to your drinking game and you'll be smashed in no time). The only decent characters on this show are Don and Sloan. The way they rectify Don's original presentation through the rest of the seasons are amazing and you'll root for the one guy who is actually well-written and acted, and just all around... you want him to succeed. And Sloan. Oh glorious Sloan - she's just as awesome to watch.

The problem with this episode is that Season 2 wrapped up the entire show nicely. Will and Mac are engaged! Will is not going to quit! Sloan and Don are together! Yet - there's now more Newsroom after that, so it leaves the question: Where exactly is this show headed? Neal obviously can't be looking for Big Foot, so instead of trolling with reddit/4chan people, they now have him under investigation for espionage a la Edward Snowden. Will and Mac's wedding plans are boring. Maggie is still annoying but at least she lost her stupid hair and seems semi-adjusted back to reality? It's tough to pick up this new season simply because the last season was wrapped up so nicely.

And then Jim saw Maggie in yet another new light and the love triangle continues. Just happy that Don got out of the cycle and he's with Sloan.

I was waiting for an "I love you..... I know" from Will and Mac during the post-wedding arrest. Star Wars did it better.
