That’s the thing as well, because I was like A) even if the repercussions had not happened in the next episode, it’s a show about people making good emotional choices when it counts to me in a lot of ways and here, the ethics of journalism versus the ethics of a human being, but then B) everyone was like “You would never do that, you would get fired,” and then the next episode you see well, yeah he did. It’s like “They know, guys.”
He was happy. He was happy to pull the plug, or pull the pin I should say. I think he knew he was going to pull the pin. I mean it’s interesting because he runs the story, you know, the story is run and that’s kind of the last piece of journalism he’s going to be doing on that level and I think that he just thought well. As you say, it was his personal ethics that were more important. And I think Trent has been in that press room — he’s been bored in these press rooms for a long time, he’s got other stuff that he wants to be thinking about. - James Lance
