This is becoming one of my favorite shows. The second half of the final act very much reminded me of the last scenes from The Godfather. I'm not going to be able to describe this well, but the scene cuts between the president watching the play "The Wars of the Roses" and a military team taking down a terrorist who happens to be the defense minister of an Arabic government. There were no spoken lines, and the soundtrack kept up the play, even during the military scenes. It makes me realize just how well Coppolla put that scene together, and the director (Sorkin?) did a good job of recycling it.
