Honestly, I liked this episode... but somehow I'm bothered by the various feminist issues. Mind you not that they are raised. But that they are raised all in one episode (and the rest of the season doesn't mention feminist issues at all).
And then there's Amy (who admittedly is bearable in this episode... but gets so much worse... why can't Sorkin portray strong, independent women as something other than perky and frankly violent? That water baloon? First of all, throwing that isn't perky but childish, and secondly, I wouldn't throw anything at someone who was shot at)... CJ also came across as too strong about Qumar. Is she right? Of course, she is. But it leaves a bad taste as it's not as though she was so far bothered by something like a state suppressing half of its population.
