Feb. 5th, 2007 07:09 pmSam's Three Things about Studio 60:
1. ONE MORE EPISODE, SORKIN. That's all you get. If next week doesn't suck too badly, I'll give you one after that on the strength of the Danny/Jordan kiss. Which was awesome, but does not make up for the awful setup. Almost, but not quite. Especially the part about the key-hiding rock. Seriously, nobody's going to ever mistake a key-hiding rock for a real rock if they pick it up.
2. Now I see why Tom is part of the big three. I couldn't figure it out, other than that he's quite funny. I suppose that's enough, but it seems like to be a part of the inner circle's inner circle, you have to have more. His speech to Lucy about lies and the pay scale shows that he has an understanding of the way power works in relationships and the ins and outs of his business. He's by far the most interesting, at least to me, of the big three.
3. I think I've figured out what makes me nuts about Matt and Harry's innumerable and tedious arguments. It's that they say things that apparently have significance to each other, but the audience is a bit at a loss. Harry will say "You're like a tree, Matt" and Matt will be like "There are chickens in the trees" and it would clearly have some meaning that makes her decide some momentous thing. Except it doesn't, and no decision actually ever gets made, and the setup to Matt's joke was so painful that I knew to hit skip, and knew just how far to skip to escape it.
3a. I hate to say this because I do, truly, like Natalie Cole. But man, she hasn't always looked like a drag queen "doing" Natalie Cole, has she? Her face is really...long and pointy.
