But, what do I know….

At the fresh start.

"Because I'm tired of it. Year after year after year after year having to choose between the lesser of who cares? Of trying to get myself excited about a candidate who can speak in complete sentences. Of setting the bar so low, I can hardly look at it. They say a good man can't get elected President. I don't believe that, do you?"

This.

There seems to be an established narrative that towards the end of his time on the show Sorkin refused to write lines for a central cast member and that that person was Rob. Apparently other cast members disliked Rob also, I am pretty certain Richard Schiff detests him…..but then I see occasionalmvideos on YB with Aaron and Rob all bosom buddies. Rob seems a decent egg, can anyone shed light?

As someone who has lived a few miles from Manchester my entire life, I can promise you there are no farms like this in manch

When the gods wish to punish us they answer our prayers. Correct me if I am wrong, but Toby said this because everyone wanted Richie to be the nominee because everyone thought it would be a clear victory, but he knew better. We fell for the same thing once again, we underestimated how well Trump would do and now with democracy on the line it’s seems like a fitting punishment.

I'm watching s7 for the first time. I just finished e5, where it comes to light Toby was the leak and the president fires him. What are y'alls thoughts on this episode? Seems like some post Sorkin redemptive writing to me.

Ugh…. Toby should have spent more time with him on prep…

I can’t watch the “real” thing tonight. My wife wants to and I suspect it is to watch a show. I want to watch something with substance.

I can’t recall the episode, or the topic. But it’s driving me crazy. There’s a moment in her office. When she’s about to say something. She reconsiders, almost stumbles on her words, thinks some more, and then concludes her question or statement. Does anyone know what moment I’m talking about? It was such a genuine moment of great acting for Allison Janney, I can remember her performance but the context is completely escaped my memory. Can anyone save my brain?

Rewatching and just got to this episode- what the actual f### Josh? That is the most unreasonable argument I’ve ever heard for ANYTHING.

I'm almost sure that there is a photo of Josh's father in his office, and that same photo was on the desk or somewhere in the office of Danny Tripp.

Despite this being my 7th watch, it's hard to believe how well they build suspense on election night. I know how it ends. I'll know every time. And yet I'm always waiting for the possibility of Vinick to win lol

C.J.:
I think it depends who shows up. If it's Uncle Fluffy, we've got problems.

If it's the President, in his last campaign,

his last debate, for the last job he'll ever have...

if the President shows up, I think it'll be a sight to see, I mean a sight to see.

What do you think?

TOBY:

I think you're going to enjoy yourself tonight.

Do you have a character that you like even though we never actually see them? I'm partial to Josh's mother.

We are excluding President B… or, screw it, if you wanna throw him on the list, 👍🏼

Edit: what if you throw in Will Bailey, Ainsley Hayes, (beloved) Lionel Tribbey, Amy Gardner, and Mrs. Bartlet (cuz why not?)

This pairing has always irked and amused me at the same time. But it's not something I can exactly put my finger on. What are your thoughts on this relationship?

Wife: hey! You know what? That headache I had; it wasn't just lack of sleep like in thought. I it was dehydration like you said. I upped my water intake and now it's gone!

Me: so I was right and you were wrong?

Wife (cautiously): emm... yeah.. so?

Me: nothing, just stand there in your wrongness and be wrong...

Wife: sigh

I love this scene because unknowing to Hellen, Donna is the person in the room that can relate the most, considering what happened to her with her underwear falling out of her pant leg in front of Karen Kahill, then shown to Josh and Sam later.

If Zoey had ultimately been killed, would Jed have resumed his presidency?
