Newsroom s01e05: Will McAvoy and Nina Howard - 'They're Journalists!'

"I'm just a middle aged man who never lived up to his potential. You don't want to be on the wrong end of me if I ever do."

This is the best scene in the whole show. Love that he stands up for his staff. A true leader

[MightiestArm]

The very last line he says gets me everytime "you don't want to be on the wrong end of me if I ever do"

[peteroakley]

"Tough ass you won't win"

"Ah, doesn't matter. I'm just a middle aged guy who never lived up to his don't want to be on the wrong end of me if I ever do"

Perfectly done parting shot. 😁😎

[RYk]

When you think about the fact that this is the same guy that once made a movie called "dumb & dumber", you got a acknowledge that Jeff Daniels is one hell of an actor :D

[darkhorseash]

This scene is even better when you consider that being a journalist, the kind will and them are, is what Nina really wanted.

Still rewatching this show. Still the best show i have ever saw on TV.

"Look at me...and see that I'm dead serious."

"I'm just a middle-aged man that never lived up to his potential. You don't wanna be on the wrong end of me if I ever do."

Boy was cold in this scene

[bartheus]

One of the best and most powerful scenes in TV series or movie. Second is Will McAvoy's rant on why America ain't best country in the world anymore. :)

[TomboTheTornado]

“Look at me and see that I’m dead serious” best speech ever

[captassassin]

She’s so slimy in her smugness. And you can feel Will’s subdued rage when she calls herself a “Journalist” a name Will knows in his heart of hearts she never earned!

[rexcaesar]

Anyone else see the fear in her eyes when he says he'll come after her?

[lindahollingsworth]

Great scene! Gosh darn Skorkin can write! Jeff Daniels is amazing. Love this scene and the "I'm gonna puke" look on Nina's face when he tells her what he will do to her. Brilliant excellent we bring Newsroom back?!

[misslegacyatheart]

This is my favorite takedown because it showed how much Will cared for his people. And all of the times he was yelling and screaming and carrying on, he was poised borderline, polite and downright scary all without raising his voice

[shraviator]

I’m going to make a meal out of you and I won’t stop until I’m done….. the delivery and the finality of it all is perfection… Jeff Daniels is phenomenal

[gorklives]

To steal a line from another show, "Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many."

[adp]

It makes me so mad that this show never got the critical recognition it deserved, and makes me wonder what on earth those hack reviewers were watching. This show is brilliant.

[nascarkraz]

love this scene. this episode overall was fabulous! :)

[thatsbad]

0 THATS WHAT I CALL A BRUTAL TAKEDOWN SCENE

[Svinutka]

[notoriousrjg]

I miss this show so much. Jeff Daniel's doesn't the credit he deserves. Such a good scene
