BartlettNet - The West Wing Appreciation Society - May Contain Spoilers!

[CaveMum]

A thread for the discussion of West Wing - the best tv show ever made!

If you haven't seen all 7 Seasons be aware that this thread may contain spoilers!

I am just marking my place. I am going to start re-watching from the beginning, I think. Am planning a day of nothing but WW watching in a couple of weeks.

[Bumperlicioso]

Good idea, I was thinking we needed a separate forum thread.

[flowery]

Putting myself on thread

[LadyClariceCannockMonty]

Camping out.

[NormanTebbit]

It was heartbreaking, the scene where he buys his wife her dream house for when the twins arrive.

I was shouting, 'just take the damn house!' and when she tells him that he isn't happy enough for her or their children.

[NormanTebbit]

Toby, I mean.

[bafanatheSober]

Marking place!
Love this show

[CJCregg]

Carol, can I get a a double shot, light on the soy, cinnamon-chia mochachino, no whip, sprinkles and another shot on top, thanks.

[Pinkjenny]

Marking my place. I was literally bereft when I finished the final series.

[CaveMum]

Pinkjenny - you know the cure for that? Start watching them all again! That's what I'm doing! 11 Episodes from season one watched since Monday night

[dinkystinky]

Hello all - I LOVE the west wing. So pleased there is a MN appreciation society still going strong - may help fill the Oval Office sized hole left in my life when it ended...

[Pinkjenny]

I have the final series of The Sopranos to watch, then I'm starting ER from the beginning. But I am getting my WW fix by reading that WikiQuotes link. I really must do some work! People must think I'm insane sitting here laughing to myself.

[Paschaelina]

Bloody marvellous idea for a thread! I might have to dig them all out again, last watched during the last stages of pregnancy last summer.

It might take me a while to get through the whole lot though, based on my approx amount of time a day to watch tv by myself being roughly 10 minutes.

If DH is about its currently Dexter season 3 in the DVD player.

[OhmeoOhmyo]

CaveMum - great idea. Like Bumperlicioso I reckon we could fill a forum...

Can I do trivia from random seasons?

I fear I went into spoiler mode on the other thread with my question about Amy/marriage incentives/Josh's mobile in the stew/why Amy lost her job as a result of Josh's strategy.

Then there's Baker. Why did Santos insist on him being VP? Apart from the fact that imo he looks like a lizard, I though he was v underhand at the convention - "Oh, I'm being drafted...for the good of the party...for the American people...I'm as surprised as anyone..."
The VP being the presumptive nominee 4/8 years later?

[culturemulcher]

Two threads?! Can hardly contain my excitement.

[frakyouveryverymuch]

Placemarking.

I had planned an ER rewatch during BF marathons but am tempted by WW now. Love it!

[BlooCowWonders]

I'm in

can never work out who I like the most. Probably Jed, but also CJ. Never a huge fan of Donna, til right at the end.

[ArthurMcAffertyandhisCat]

I adore Josh. And Leo. And Jed Bartlett. And Toby. I fear I will remain single until I die as any man would have to be a mix of all of them (not Sam. I was never a Sam man). But Josh's looks and Leo's dry sense of humour and Jed's wisdom and Toby's cynicism would make for the perfect partner...

[tribpot]

I liked Lily, who was Abbey's CoS in series 1. Always thought it was a shame we didn't see her again. Ditto Mandy's assistant, who seemed a lot nicer and less arse-ish than her.

Of course, if the West Wing had a 'jump the shark' moment it would have to be when it turned out CJ slept with Hoynes. As. If.

[NormanTebbit]

Yes there was a similar liason between Mary the national security adviser and Leo when she was a CIA operative in Cuba- hefty hint that she shagged him anyway. There's a scene when Leo explicitly says he doesn't remember much about Cuba and did they meet? I got the impression he was trying to avoid embarrassment, and actually did remember.

There were alot of new characters in later episodes some of whom didn't really add up.

[tribpot]

You mean Kate? Kate-and-Will Kate? Jeezus. There was also an implication that Annabeth and Leo were shagging too - so unnecessary (and v like John Wells to overload good drama with shag-plots, a la ER).

[salander]

Marking place. Just love ww. Feeding ds just now. Be back later.

[NormanTebbit]

Sorry yes Kate, the actress' name is Mary. Yes the whole thing with annabeth was a bit ewwww

Another thing was - how old do you think CJ was at the end? Cos I put her in her late 40's, maybe 50's yet she has a baby.

[Northernlurker]

When Leo was in Cuba wasn't he in his drugs/booze phase and that's why he was odd about remembering it? I think Kate had maybe done something 'lethal' and top secret?
I don't think Annabeth and Leo were actually shagging - just cannoodling and courting.
Dh and I work our way through and then start all over again. Just in series 1 atm.
