I will be sad if Ben does sneak out somehow. He's got such a great rapport with Selena and some of the best one liners. "The last surviving Golden Girl! "

He totally coulda gotten in there with Amy too but Dan's only loves are politics and himself. You'd feel sorry for him but it's Dan.

Only saw the UK office but in any case Gary dumped him, I think. And the sex slave got fired.

Hugh Laurie looks completely different as Tom James. It took five minutes to register it was him.
And Amy's quitting was awesome - hopefully post POTUS life will be better for her than how it's going for Dan.

Not sure how Amy will ever see the west wing again after thoroughly burning that bridge, even though she was absolutely right.

At least Selina got the message and 86'd Karen- hope we never see her again amirite?

She's gotta come back somehow. She's gonna end up at Dan's office as "a close friend of the president" or on TV with a hot scoop about the firing of the departure of the president's campaign manager.

Maybe they're setting up a bigger version of the peek-ins they had with Doyle's office, with Dan, Jonah and Amy at the new Veep's office.

So Ben didn't get fired because he fell asleep when while she was firing him last episode?

Amy's meltdown was fantastic. This is what frustration looks like.



Kinda disappointed both Lennon Parham and Patton Oswalt seem to be gone already though.

How is Bill Erickson not her new campaign manager, I thought that's what he does?

Kleptobot posted:

This would be kind of obvious but yeah, probably. Or maybe Pierce is gonna rise to power and end up as POTUS somehow because "you can make inept work". Who knows.

Really excited to see Hugh Laurie show up! It's odd to see him play someone truly likeable.

The look on Selina's face when she learns Jonah was being molested.

It's not really a line but it landed better for me than anything else.

Are we supposed to think her fiancee is actually gay? They were as awkward as possible in their interactions.

I didn't really pick up on that. I assumed they were awkward because Catherine's awkward and their situation makes it all the more difficult.

Selena was going to offer it to him, but in that short conversaition realized he is insufferable and didn't. It's actually well acted when you see Selena's body language change as she makes the decision in her head.

Maddox told her that people think she's incompetent ("doesn't know how to get things done"). He's sadface-walking down the hallway because he knows he hosed up his interview for the VP spot.

Catherine? Everything they show makes her come across as terrible, this season at least. The interactions between her and those children a few episodes ago was just painful to watch.
