I've just started watching 18th and Potomac, I can't wait to see the culmination of this storyline.  Edit: D: Poor Mrs. Landingham

It's still sad, I'm a few episodes into s3; Charlie just told the President why he'd always had a pen in his pocket.

I was thinking "How could I have not realized that Eugene Mirman was in that scene!?" and went back to check.... that is not Eugene Mirman.

What exactly was the behind-the-scenes reason for Danny disappearing for such a long time? Zoey hasn't been around for a long time, either... the relationship between her and Charlie hasn't even been mentioned (I'm on episode 13 of season 3 now). (Looking it up, it seems they broke up in season 2? I must have just missed that, somehow.)

"You understand I'm working on the inaugural address, right?" "How's that going?" "THERE'S BICYCLES AND GOATS IN MY OFFICE!!" I'm so glad I started watching this show. Haha.

In retrospect, it wasn't a good idea to plan on just watching one more episode of The West Wing before going to do errands when that episode was Commencement. ...watching "Twenty Five", now. thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Aug 7, 2011 |

Toby and Will are currently typing out what they really think of the soon-to-be VP... please tell me that's not going to end up on the teleprompter somehow. It's like Chekov's Gun.

kissyboots13 posted:I pretty much stopped watching after season 4--is the rest of the series worth it? I'm just over halfway through watching season 5 for the first time, I don't really see why it has such a bad reputation around here, I've been mostly enjoying it. I kind of tuned out during Disaster Relief and Abu El Banat, but I've liked the rest of what I've seen.

TheBigBad posted:My advice is to ignore everyone who parrots watching only the first four seasons. The whole series has wonderful work throughout. There is nuance in the performances in every single episode, the art direction is handled by the same people. It remains relevant and it becomes a new show. The only time it suffers is when John Spencer dies and you can tell if you know what you're looking for that the entire original cast just has the wind knocked out of em. There's more to this show than the writing. Just resign yourself that the show turns into something different from its premise by the end. Yeah, the first time I watched The West Wing, I didn't make it far past season 4... but I just rewatched it all and finally finished it recently, and I have to say I actually really ended up liking the later seasons. You just need to be prepared for significant shifts in the focus of the story and the writing style/voice. I think one of my issues the first time that I watched it was that I really didn't get into the idea of Matt Santos as a potential President... this time, though, I appreciated the fact that while I did like Vinick a lot more at the start of the arc, they managed to slowly sell me on Santos before the end... which works if you stick with it, since it matches the arc of his campaign. Once you accept that in the later seasons, the show is more about this new campaign instead of the Bartlet administration, the story is quite interesting to watch. And in the end, I feel like they did also wrap up the plot/emotional threads for the Bartlet administration very well in the final season. thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 20:51 on Jan 27, 2014 |

TheBigBad posted:It's also a less bold concept in a post-Obama world. Well, my first time watching The West Wing was in a post-Obama world, so I can't speak to that. It wasn't anything to do with that, I just found him kind of tepid compared to Vinick, and didn't watch far enough to see that it was really just the starting point for his story arc. thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Jan 27, 2014 |

Ravel posted:I really want to get my parents into the West Wing but it's really bothering me that the end credits completely ruin the tone of half the episodes. Are there any versions available that have the original broadcast end credits intact. Is there some version other than the original broadcast end credits? The original ones completely ruin the tone of some of the episodes, too.

When I first heard about the podcast, my first thought was that I hoped Kevin T. Porter from the Gilmore Guys podcast was hosting it, because he's a huge West Wing fan and has talked about seriously considering starting a West Wing podcast multiple times.... but as soon as I saw that it's Joshua Malina and Hrishikesh Hirway, I found it hard to be too upset about him not being involved. At least Kevin will undoubtedly be a guest on it sometime, since Hrishikesh has been a guest on Gilmore Guys a couple of times.
