Aaron Sorkin uses his favourite title - "What Kind If Day Has It Been" for the first time. He would later go on to use it for the first season finales of The West Wing and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, as well as the series finale of The Newsroom.
This is a suitably dramatic finale for the first series of the show, albeit one with some odd moments. Why does Dan mention Rebecca for no apparent reason for example?
It's all as ever wonderfully written and performed though, making you forget its flaws. The final moment is incredibly moving.
Could it have worked as a one series thing though? It is difficult to imagine a second series that wouldn't have been more of the same without some changes.
