早间新闻 S2 E8（上半部分）

第八集 Confirmations

本季最好的一集！

The Newsroom片段

米切的死对各人的影响，新闻的处理就很有“The Newsroom”内味儿，对死讯的双重确认很像”He's a person. Doctors pronounce his death. Not news.“经典一幕，但居然所有人（除了Alex）都没有想到先通知家属，试想佩吉和两个孩子从电视上知道米切的死讯会是什么心情！而且要收回上一集日记里说的”Alex和米切的婚外情没有伤害到任何人“，原来不是秘密，佩吉确实因此受到伤害，并且要忍住恶心在各种聚会上对Alex笑脸相迎。

本集还有好几位的大段独白，文字精彩，演员也超棒。

开场蒙太奇就很有这部剧的风格：科里在房间里锻炼，米娅睡在办公室里，黑暗中布莱德利对着弟弟无声叹息。好家伙，还以为都被隔离了。

电梯里科里对着Stella长篇大论，仅仅因为后者出于礼貌问了句”你好吗“。

You asked me if I was okay. [whispered] It doesn't matter if I'm okay. [/whispered] This is the 200-meter freestyle. Absorbing other people's feelings? That's a two-ton anchor around your neck. Go ahead — care about the world, die [?], fall in love, whatever — on your own time. Here? Feelings, they drain your lifeblood, they turn your eyes gray — how I'm doing cannot be your problem. Caring about other people, it limits your ability to make self-serving decisions. And what is good for you is good for the company, because it owns you, and it owns me, and we own it, and we are all one. Circle of life. [Stella: Let the circle be unbroken!] Exactly. F***ing exactly, yes! YES! Oh, come by my office with Gerald and Linda after my call, we need to strategize about how to make these TMS bombshells work for us.

——上季获艾美奖的Billy Crudup又回来了。Stella全程奇怪地看着他，感觉出了电梯就会给朋友发短信：我老板疯球了。Stella后面向Alex的助理逼问电邮密码那场戏也好看。

Isabella: She would be mad.

Stella: Well, she might be dead.

——这个交流简洁有效。伊莎贝拉的害怕间接说明Alex是个挺混的人。

对米切的死，科里的反应是：这个新闻绝对不能让别家抢走，提高收视，让Alex播这条消息——于是Stella跑起来，科里喊起来，立即进入紧急模式。对麦吉那本书也一样：Oh, on a human level, horrible. But as far as we're concerned? I didn't see anything bad in it.都是很正常的反应，他与米切没有私交，甚至不曾共事过。不算冷血。
