Fullhouse posted:i tried watching west wing and the very first episode involved president martin sheen bringing a bunch of evangelical leaders into a conference room and owning them with their own logic. that was as far as i got that's the only way sorkin knows to establish a protagonist

I got halfway through that speech before pulling the usb stick out of my computer and stamping it to bits. It's so bad it made me angry. Like, autistic angry. Newsroom gave me autism. this guy is cool

the "great scene" of the series, where bartlet curses out god in latin at the national cathedral and rattles off his accomplishments, is hilarious he lists a scotus appointment among them, as if the almighty creator gives a poo poo about who's on the federal bench gently caress that show, it sucked from day one and the sopranos should retroactively be given all the emmys the west wing won
