S60 tonight was about a thousand percent better than the three preceding episodes. If you gave up on it before tonight, watch this ep -- you can probably bittorrent or download it somewhere.

It was the self-important 9/11 reference that sent me fleeing a bit into 3. Plus the general smugness. Was that finally toned down?

Yes - there was no detectable smugness in ep 4. It was all plot and character. It dealt with Matt and Harriet still carrying torches for each other, Matt's total lameness in trying to make her jealous, Tom's complete cluelessness about giving advice on relationships, Tom's own unresolved feelings for his (so far offscreen) ex-girlfriend, the writing bullpen's frantic feeling they're going to be fired because Matt is so much better than they are, and then a horrible misstep that they had to scramble to recover from between the east coast and west coast broadcasts of the show.

Plus a bit more with the Jordan drunk driving subplot. And a reporter who's shown up and is being given all access, in a plot they'll continue next week. Harriet gave a great short rant about how Matt is destined for hell because he's an atheist and she's a Baptist and that's not why they broke up. And Harriet was clueless enough to think a phone number was a uniform number. "Most guys have uniform numbers like five, or seventy. Most of them don't have numbers like three billion, six hundred five million..."

Matt visits a raunchy girl-dancer show where all the girls know him, too. And over the course of the episode Amanda Peet gets a lot better at delivering Sorkin dialogue.

Its very best and very funniest line was the final line of the ep, which I won't spoil because you really should watch it. :)

Note that you don't have to resort to obscure shady torrent sites to watch it online - NBC has it right there at nbc.com. Now if only they'd do that with Law & Order... (I keep forgetting that it moved to Friday, and even then sometimes I want to watch Numbers)
