I watch the Newsroom because of Jeff Daniels and it's production value. I just have issues with it, but I have issues with a number of shows I watch.
And Dexter is the most well timed dropping of a show I've ever pulled off. Watched the first four season and then just never picked it back up. Still haven't seen anything past the first 15 minutes of episode one of season 5 and given I've yet to hear a single person defend the following seasons it's unlikely I ever will. *pats self on back*

Dexter COULD go back to being decent in the next season if they do it right, considering the season 6 cliffhanger (though they waited far too many seasons for it). I'll believe it when I see it though.

I'm definitely hoping they can return to it's former glory.

*shrug* at this point even a good season won't get me to catch up on it. 2 seasons is a lot of mediocre tv to sit through, and I'd feel really annoyed just skipping straight to season 7.

How can you say I've added nothing of value? I've written lengthy, civil, thoughtful comments for the last month that have ellicited honest discussion with a lot of people less hostile and open to new perspectives than you.
Yeah, I get vindictive toward YOU when you follow each of my posts with comments that try to shut me down. How am I supposed to react when you hone in on everything I say and steer the conversation away from the purpose of this thread?
There are no life points awarded for being polite and unopinionated on the Internet. I'm going to be abrasive to you if you feel the need to waste people's time like this by obsessing over my personal opinions that I'm not forcing you to read.

I thought this episode of The Newsroom was better than the last few for sure. Alison Pill wasn't freaking me out with her insanely weird facial expressions, and the story was pretty good. Also wasn't laden with too much preachy politico ******** either, which I appreciated.

To be fair Pill had some of her scariest facial expressions of the series so far in this episode.

Maybe I need to rewatch it, or maybe I'm just too in love with her, but I don't remember seeing weird facial expressions haha.

Yeah I have if it was cancelled. If I don't like a show in the first few eps I stop cold turkey.

She had some terrifying faces in the glass meeting room, not sure when during the show, but I remember her being in the glass room with a bunch of people around her.

The horror her faces inspire are a big part of why I'm still watching the show. I'm not sure if I like her or not, but those faces are something else.

This my friends is the face of insanity.

Clearly you don't understand the perverse entertainment from watching something you don't particularly like.

Yeah, I don't think Brodeur and I are in some sort of minority when it comes to watching shows because they're bad. Sometimes that's just how a drama becomes a comedy.
I'm not going to watch the duration of the series or anything.

I'm not watching it anymore. I tried to watch it because it's an HBO show but I just have no interest in watching anymore.

I watch an entire Mariners vs Padres four game series for homemade meatball subs. Especially made by a black man.
