As about, it really bothers me.
shareSomething that did bother me was the way each character was written - if you were to take most of their lines, write them down, shuffle them up and then read them back, you'd have a hard time discerning the quick-talking irreverent wit of one character apart from the rapid-fire acerbic wit of another character.
This is a good point that a couple people have made, and I've been noticing it more now, and trying to think how the characters lines could have been written better - e.g., would the non-newsy roommate lady (Lisa?) really talk in the same fashion as everyone else? Personalities are different; their dialog should reflect that.
I LOVE Sorkin's writing, though, and I too have found having the closed captions on really helps me keep up with everything. share
