#will and mac the newsroom

[one-writer-girl]

Why hasn't anyone written a Newsroom fanfic inspired by The Parent Trap?

Imagine this: Mac and Will, passionate power couple with two newborn girls, find themselves torn apart after Mac's confession of betrayal. Determined to sever all ties, Will breaks up with Mac, and each takes custody of one of their twin daughters. Mac relocates to London, while Will remains in New York. However, fate intervenes when their daughters coincidentally end up at the same summer camp. As the girls discover their resemblance, they devise the plan to switch places and reunite their parents. Their scheme unveils the long-held secret and Will's hidden feelings - he regrets his decision to break up with Mac and send her away as he is still deeply in love with her.

I'M IN DESPERATE NEED OF SOMEONE TO BRING THIS INCREDIBLE IDEA TO LIFE!

[Mackenzie:] So, yeah, definitely, if Ben Furusho had landed in the pool instead of on the pavement, we wouldn't be talking right now. And Will wouldn't be standing out in the hallway. He's there, right? [Rebecca nods.] It's because I'm in here. He's worried he got me in trouble and not the other way around. And you've got to admit, for a guy who lives to be liked by the audience, he lets us put his life in danger a lot. | The Newsroom S02E1: First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers

I’ve seen the S1 episodes of The Newsroom many times. It continues to surprise me that each time I notice something new that I had missed before. That amazes me because I’ve never had that before. I’ve had many shows that I’ve loved and still love and episodes that I watched and over again. Yet never did it happen that after a few rewatches I continued to see new things. This is different with The Newsroom. Those first rewatches I notices words that I hadn’t notice before, or moments that I’d missed because I was focusing on something else. Then later I start to see the acting and how good it is. Not that I didn’t think it wasn’t good before. I mean the acting on this show is terrific. I started to see the subtleties in the acting, the decisions the actors apparently made. That is what has left me in awe of this show and these actors and I mean specifically Jeff Daniels, Emily Mortimer and Sam Waterston. Just this week on the rewatch of the pilot episode I thought, because of something Charlie said, did Charlie know Mackenzie was at Northwestern. Mostly with Charlie and the way Sam Waterston plays him, is that in everything that he does, Charlie takes care of his people and he loves them dearly.

I ship Will McAvoy and Mackenzie McHale which is why I pay a lot of attention to those scenes and those characters. Jeff Daniels and Emily Mortimer’s performances amaze me. Sure I’ve shipped many other ships and loved and still love them dearly. All hold a special place in my heart. The performances by these two actors just continues to amaze me.

Like this moment, the Rudy hug, the moment just before Will hugs Mackenzie (not my gif, and just borrowing it and you can only see him look at her briefly). All I see in his eyes is this incredibly deep love for Mackenzie, he is so deeply in love with her. I know that, but to see it in his eyes, that’s something so special and I just look at that and think, how do you do that. And yes you can say well that’s acting. That’s true, but from the many ships I ship, that look, to see that love, such deep love and to see it appear in his eyes in those seconds, that I haven’t seen before.

Because that’s also it, Will sometimes glances at Mackenzie even when the scene is about something else or the conversation is being carried by others, there’s suddenly the gift of a glance and in that look there’s still so much going on.

The same with Emily Mortimer and the way she portrays Mackenzie McHale. There’s always so much going on in the way she looks at him. There’s so much in her eyes. Even when she’s angry at Will and boy is she angry because of the non compete clause, and that scene is terrific, she loves him deeply. (Also just borrowing this gif).

And only now rewatching episode 4 again, the final scene which is a close up of Mackenzie I only now realize that the words of the Coldplay song, are for her. She’s trying to fix Will (from the path he’s taken), she’s trying to fix the show, she’s trying to fix the mistake she’s made, she’s trying to fix them. In this case it’s not just the acting (though the look she gives is one that says so much too), but it’s shows how there’s meaning in well everything and every choice they make. That continues to amaze me (yes I know I’ve said that before.

So this was just my sharing my admiration for The Newsroom and the terrific actors. And I don’t mean by this post that the other actors on this show aren’t great. They all are. In this case, my focus is on Jeff Daniels and Emily Mortimer especially and also on Sam Waterston because I enjoy him more and more with every rewatch. This is just me sharing my love for this show. I love this show so much and these characters so much.

Summary:Mackenzie walks back into Will’s newsroom and life but bringing with her not just memories of their past. She brings a two-year-old on her hip without a father.

She wished he would take them into his office, or that she knew where her office was.

“I tried to get in touch with you when you were on vacation. No one could seem to get in touch with you. Or at least they weren’t willing to say.” She was rambling, she hated when she did that. It announced how nervous she was. He was silent. “Actually, I’ve tried to get in touch with you a lot of times over the last three years. Did you get those e-mails?”

“Yeah.” Shit.

“And what did you think?”

“I didn’t read them.” Well, that was one question Mac had answered. Things were going to be more complicated than she anticipated. He didn’t know. Still more silence. “Okay this could work.” She said, trying to convince herself more than him. “In fact, it’s going to work great! I asked my agent to arrange a three-year contact. You know me I think that’s the…”

“It’s not a three-year contract anymore.”

“I’m sorry.” She asked in confusion.

“it’s not a three-year contract anymore. In fact, it’s a 156-week contract that gives me the opportunity to fire you 155 times at the end of each week. We’ll wait a few months to make sure it’s not a story that Will Carter can shove up my ass. We’ll do it then.” As he spoke, voice dripping with distain and arrogance, she felt the rage begin to form in her stomach. God he could be so spiteful! He had no idea what effect he was having on her life.

“How did you get my contract changed?” she asked coldly.

“I gave the network some money back off my salary.”

“How much?” “A million dollars a year.”

“You gave back a million dollars to be able to fire me whenever you want!”

“Three million dollars and not whenever I want. At the end of each week.” He stared at her with such contempt and bitterness she practically tasted the bile that rose in his throat from seeing her. But this wasn’t about her anymore. She needed this job; she needed a steady income. She sighed trying to still her nerves. “I get you doing this to me. But you can’t do this to them.”

“Who?”

“People followed me here you ass!”  Well, there goes calm. “They’re in the process of moving! They’ve put down deposits, found flat mates…”

“Yeah, they fucked up Mac! They trusted you!” He screamed in retort.

“Mac?” Their shouting match was interrupted when Jim returned to the Newsroom. Mac’s eyes went wide with fear before she even turned around. She saw the quizzical look on Will’s brow. Shit. She knew what she was turning around to. “I’m sorry but he wouldn’t stop crying for you.”

I didn’t know if you’d care if I came back, I have a lot of regrets about that

[thousand-miless]

This is the episode that I started shipping them. And especially this scene, or well the scene before this and and this scene. I played that back so many times. There is so much being said and not being said, there’s so much in those eyes and body language. That’s one of the many reasons why I love them. There is always so much going on between them.

Also I am borrowing these gifs I don’t own them.
