Have you never seen a Sorkin show? This is kinda his formula. Long monologues and a bit of preachiness. It's kinda how those go.
Yeah I can see the Maggic/JIm comparison to Jim/pam thing but I loved that so I'm fine with seeing it again!
I actually liked this one better than episode two. So I don't get both of your "it bored me!" statements. But whatever.
I like Sam Waterston's crazy antics. They amuse me since in other stuff he was so much more calm. I like it. But that's just me.
