luciazephyrJust watched Sports Night episode 1.08, Thespis. I have had Thoughts. Anyone who's seen it... Help?
So, these boys are gorgeous and lovely and I want to hug Casey so bad. My question is... Casey's ex, Lisa... Wot the eff? What'd she do to him? I've rewatched this scene five times (not including the times when I was transcribing the above) and it just hurts to see. And Dan's dropped at least three major hints to Lisa being evil and horrible. Obviously Dan's biased, but... Um...
I really want to know more about Lisa. Is any more information given about her? 'Cause Sorkin is being heavy-handed in his hints about a (and this sounds strange) slightly abusive thing going down here. Not physical, because I just can't see that here, but... Lisa seemed to really shake Case up.
And, funny thing, its almost unheard of, whether in RL or in a fictional work, but if anyone wrote it? I'd want it to be Sorkin.
So, yeah, that's all I can think of now. I don't mind getting spoilers, so does anyone wanna help me out, lemme know what is up with the Casey-Lisa thing?
Also, Casey? I lurve to pieces. I really, really love him. Dan's awesome but... Casey. ♥

Casey: Danny... they offered me Conan's show.
Dan: They did?
Casey: Yeah.
Dan: They offered it to you?
Casey: They made- there was an offer, they offered me the show.
Dan: And you passed?
Casey: Yeah.
Dan: You passed on your own network's show.
Casey: Yeah.
Dan: To work with me in Dallas.
Casey: It was clear we were going national.
Dan: No, it wasn't.
Casey: I- I passed on the show, what does it matter why?
Dan: And if you passed on the show... Lisa must have gone thermal.
Casey: She wasn't happy.
Dan: Case. Was it the beginning of the end? You and Lisa?
Casey: Yeah.
Dan: Casey. Casey, Casey, Casey-
Casey: I appreciate your fond wishes-
Dan: What are you, stupid?
Casey: What happened to the fond wishes?
Dan: You turned down Late Night?
Casey: I wouldn't have been any good at it.
Dan: Yes, you would've!
Casey: No, I wouldn't.
Dan: You would have been great.
Casey: Danny...
Dan: You would have been great.
Casey: I would have been embarrassing.
Dan: That is... flat-out not true. What did that woman do to your confidence? How many hits did you have to take to your ego?
Dan: They did?
Casey: Yeah.
Dan: They offered it to you?
Casey: They made- there was an offer, they offered me the show.
Dan: And you passed?
Casey: Yeah.

Oh, good. 'Cause I do worry over the poor boy and... ya know, to have taken That road in Sports Night? It would have been interesting to see. Only because it's Sorkin and it's pretty much never been done before. If you're right, I'm a bit disappointed Sorkin didn't take it in that direction since it does happen in reality and is hardly ever addressed.
