Olivia Munn is the best actress on the show. And its not just because she's hot. Aaron Sorkin characters and dialogue are difficult, and require actors to be convincingly supernaturally witty and intelligent. She pulls it off better than most.
Half the things Sloan says sound like half assed flippancy, because she is one of the smartest person in any room and she needs little effort to be extremely witty.
Neal was proposing to pose as a troll, not to be an actual troll. I do like how they properly give the etymology of the term troll in this context which many people no longer understand. People seem to think the mythological creature is named for Internet trolls.
So fun fact cause I just noticed his handle on the troll forum “BlueJewel”. His first name is ‘Neel’. That means ‘Blue’ in Hindi and Sanskrit. His last name is “Sampat’. The word “Sampatti” means wealth in Hindi. And jewelry is included as a part of wealth in that word. Hence Neil Sampat = Blue+Jewel.
Neal is actually short for Neelamani which, as you said, literally translates to Blue (Neela) Gem/Jewel (Mani), used as the term for Sapphire in Sanskrit (Will mentions this in an earlier episode). Neelamani is also another name for Krishna (the Hindu deity) who is usually shown to have blue skin.🙂
Goof Love Well theres a difference between a family budget and a government budget. If you have a steady job and income, you always know what your income is, thus you can plan your family expenses around your income, thus its pretty easy to balance your checkbook that way. Now compare that to the Government, where its total amount of revenue is never certain, every year its different, some years the government collects more and some years it doesn't, thus programs which could be affordable one year suddenly are not affordable. with the second point of difference being the negotiation, while you can be a dictator and establish what your budget will be, the government has to literally fight with itself over where to appropiate its budget, and since every agency in the Federal Bureaucracy is aiming to get its own budget increased, it is almost impossible to satisfy everyone, thus that is why the US Government almost always overspends its budget and has to borrow money
"Mary Mother of Holy, am I sick of that insane analogy. Balancing your checkbook is to balancing the budget as driving to the supermarket is to landing on the moon!" was a brilliant reply to it too.
I love Sloan. She's a really fun character. She's one my favorite characters on a show I generally enjoyed quite a bit. I have a lot of great things I could say about her....And she should have been fired ages ago. The moment at 2:03 - and it's far from the only one or the most extreme in the series - makes her continued employment baffling to the point of breaking immersion. You *cannot* physically assault coworkers in the middle of the office and continue to work in that industry, not to mention in the same company. Her later escapades should have landed her in freaking *jail*. And yet all characters treat this violence not merely as normative or even understandable, but as endearing. It's a credit to Sorkin's writing and to the actors' acting skills that this actually works at all, on an emotional level; but the moment you think about it even a little bit, it doesn't work. Newspeople can't walk around beating people up, and no matter how talented, hardworking, attractive, or famous you are, any real-life person trying to pull off a Sloan Sabith would never work for a reputable news organization again. There, got that off my chest. Carry on...
Reminds me of an April fool's prank years ago in the UK, when the newsroom behind the newsreader staged a fight. They received complaints from people who didn't see the funny side.
lmfao, You clearly have no real work experience. I have been 'assaulted' at damn near every job ive ever had, and have 'assaulted' more then a few along the way as well. people dont get fired for this behavior, the get promoted.
If you go back to the 1990s the term troll was first used for people who would "troll" mailing lists and b. boards making outrageous statements trying to get a reaction or disrupt conversations. It had the additional feature of comparing the troller to the mythological beast of offensive visage and nature. The term trolling was originally a fishing term.
To be fair, if an idiot like me can balance my checkbook, groups of the best economic Minds in the country should be competent enough to balance the govts.... it is why they make the big bucks right? Or are they just useless additions to government expenditures
To be fair if an idiot like me could assemble lego houses, I don't understand why it took the greatest engineering minds of the planet so long to build a rocket to get to the moon. Isn't why they make the big bucks? Great attempt at trolling there, I have the same tolerance level for trolls as Sloan does apparently.
I like Aaron Sorkin, but he was really showing his age with this storyline. A national nightly news story about Trolls...what? Existing? A news show researcher actually having to explain what a Troll is, to multiple coworkers? Come on, Sorkin. You're better than that.
Neil always goes on these kind of things on the show, he even tried to get a story about Bigfoot passed which mac shut down... this however goes to the kind of people who literally sabotage and or derail comments for personal pleasure and only get away with it because the laws and conduct for the internet is not yet in place... people can get away with everything from death threats and rape threats to bullying people into committing suicide becasue they are anonymous on the internet...which in this case allows Neil to find a person who claims to have tried to kill Will previously.
@@VincentTornude There's always one person who uses their right to disagree with your subjective opinion? Yes, Vince. Not everyone will agree with your opinion all the time. When that happens, learn to give arguments to convince thsm... Or acknowledge it's okay to disagree and move on. Those are the only options for mature adults.
@@mjohnson5030 Chill out for crying out loud, no where is it said that somebody can't express a basic idea in response to somebody's thoughts. How about you acknowledge that it's okay to disagree and move on without asking for an in depth conversation. For instance give me a full explaination on your thoughts on Munn's Delivery and Timing? I'd like examples and episodes complete with time codes to refer to. If that sounds padantic then you'll somewhat understand how your response came out to me.
'You're going to see an emotional response on my face, and a physical response directed at yours' dang, Sloan is fire
"😡 RE-EDIT MY WIKIPEDIA PAGE !!!"
"😳 soon..."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Fraternity of the pitiful". Perfect. And oh so true.
The writing and acting are flawless in this
Got to love the continuity detail that Neal uses BlueJewel as his username.

+bolomd I was impressed by Jeff Daniels too.
have you seen her in interviews, Aaron Sorkin wrote the character to match her personality her cadence, and tempo
bolomd Why do you keep copying and pasting this paragraph?
@SeaBass Gorka: I find this comment rather funny considering the premise of the video...
Half the things Sloan says sound like half assed flippancy, because she is one of the smartest person in any room and she needs little effort to be extremely witty.
How far we have gone in 8 years from reporters reporting on trolls to reporters being the trolls.

The two characters I will miss most!
Agreed! Neal is my favorite character!
Neal is so underrated and fun
I love Sleal! They are the best characters on that show!
I dont know how neal didnt get super hurt after Sloan pushed him into that corner real hard
SeaBass Gorka if she could dance a samba on my back in just high heels, while somehow I got to face upwards, that'd be great.
He did, but he really likes her so he hid the pain.
For a brief, shining moment, Americans heard something close to the truth on television.
I find her extremely attractive.
Michael Yangmi same, she's somehow managed to be adorably insecure while impressively strong while be likable all at the same time

if i can balance my checkbook why government cant balance its budget what a thought.

listen friend i know every thing regarding govt and family budget i was just enjoying his naiveness of the neal.

yes i know

I love their chemistry together. They make a good pair of friends almost family (aside from the breast in your face comment).
Sloan can speak so frickin fast
y r u agro on it?
olivia munn must be fun to be around in real life.
Hello. Zuko here.
watching this in bits and pieces (youtube style) did he get any further with his story or was that the end of it?
The show ended before they got to that. Same with Will's death threat.
No, the story didn't get any further. But Neal was able to help the police arrest the person making death threats against Will
Why would a site administer freeze the thread? They would just delete the comments
5:17 She has hyperextension in her arms.
If you're watching this vid after this point I know what you're looking for and same fam.
3:11 sloan's hair parting changes
GOD I really wanted them to end up together. They would made the cutest couple.
WHAT??? And here I was thinking they make the best big sister-little brother pairing!
Why u agro on it? I've never heard anyone use agro outside of gaming.
Aussies use it frequently.
@@paulawalker9715 Also used by the Brits and various Commonwealth countries, not so much in Canada though.
Lol!
Sloan is out of her fucking mind... and that is why she is so awesome and brilliant!
I don’t remember. Did they ever catch the guy that made the threat on Will
Never confirmed if they did or the did not but you could assume so because Will eventually stopped having a body guard.
Was it ever explained why the death threat storyline was dropped?
+markmadden84 I enjoyed the show a lot and I thought that the fact this storyline was dropped was a major flaw.
markmadden84 the guy who gave the threat was arrested...
i have very conflicting feelings about this show, but dev and olivia killed it

Ya, this isn't the definition of a troll. It's a shitposter. Trolls have nuance and set traps rhetorically. But hey, fun show.

they don't want to balance them though, they want them to grow.
