The Greater Fool
Notes About the Violence
Newsroom has scattered scenes in about half of the episodes. For the most part they are mild.
Scenes
distressing
"I saw him come in, but I didn't see him leave. I've been on for six hours." - security detail
"Will... Will..." - Mackenzie
Will is shown unconscious with blood around him.
"He's out of immediate danger..." - Doctor
OK
Everyone in a meeting
"If you really want to make Lisa happy, you'll go to Sex and the City school and take the tour" - Neal
"I don't know if I wanna make her that happy" - Jim
Hospital scene, Mackenzie hits Will, but otherwise nothing medical happens, but if hospital settings are bothersome, entire time is captured in the scene.
(Road noises)
"Why did you want to see me?" - Mackenzie
"I have a story I don't want to write" - Nina
OK
"You're wrong, I do want to commit to Maggie" - Don
"Well, that's what a good guy would do." - Sloan
Hospital setting, Mackenzie messes with equipment, but otherwise nothing medical happens
(Road noises)
"I've got some very bad news"- Jim
"I'm kinda maxed out on bad news, can it wait?" - Charlie
mild
Neal, Charlie and security guy are meeting...
"Please don't mess around with these people" -Security guy
"Go ahead!" - Charlie
"I'm sorry? - Neal
"Do it" - Charlie
Great, thank you - Neal
Then Charlie opens an envelope, which starts a hospital scene, if you are OK with that, you can wait until Will pulls off his blood pressure cuff (and The Who starts playing)
Will yanks out his IV
(applause)
"We need two maps one with every voter ID law..." - Mackenzie
