Do you think CJ and Danny actually had their own child or do you think they adopted?

Do you think Josh and Donna had a child/Donna exercised her right to raise selfish jerks that she doesn't want mucked up by schools that focus on values?

For the writers to make CJ Chief of Staff after Leo? I find it a stretch that in a real life scenario a Press Secretary would be made Chief of Staff. Josh seemed the logical choice since he was Leo's next in line.

....Charlie made CJ his b*tch?

Watching The Birnam Wood and when Leo's button pops off and drops on the ground and the music kicks in my eyes start to water as I know what's coming 😢

Title. Just prefacing that I'm not a US citizen and I might misunderstand the whole thing, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

In another post on Reddit, I just learned of a Democratic senator Paul Wellstone and his untimely death in 2002. I know the nature of death was very different from Wilde's in the show, but from what I understand, it affected a crucial race for control of Senate in 2002 elections.

So, the question is: Seeing as there were other plots in the show clearly inspired by real events, is it possible that the Sam/Horton Wilde storyline could be influenced or inspired by Wellstone's death?

I love Janice Trumbull as much as the next guy, but there's no way she wouldn't know about First Contact Day (April 5) or Captain Kirk's Birthday (March 22).

Can we settle this once and for all? People keep posting that Vinnick was supposed to win the election, but they changed to Santos because of John Spencer's death. I have never seen anything "official" about this and thought it was just an internet opinion. It seemed to me that all along, the plan was for the underdog to win, similar to the Bartlet victory.

I don't think Josh Lyman has any business being anyone's Chief of Staff. I think he was a good Deputy Chief of Staff and a pretty good campaign manager. Chief of Staff? Nah. After that last ep and especially that scene with him and Sam and Otto, I would sooner make Sam the Chief of Staff and Josh the deputy again.

After the President is shot Abby tells the anesthesiologist Dr. Lee about the President having MS and then says “Tell the press. Don’t tell the press. It’s entirely up to you.” This seems totally out of character to me that Abby would think another doctor would so casually disregard their oath.

I rarely watch Seasons 6 and 7 and sort of pick and choose what to watch depending on my mood.

The Stormy Present s5e10

Devon Michaels Schwartz (edit to Stephen Tobolowsky) is absolutely and pristinely hilarious as this eccentric ... nerd? Devon Tobolowsky so captures this personality, rivaling Brent Spiner's mad scientist in Independance Day

i dunno know why, i love him like i do... lol i just do

Also, while cJ is talking to him, i noticed a small flamingo peeking up into our view from her desk, with its little red tuft of ..hair? that is her secret service call name, right? lol

This morning, the Iconic 400 year old Copenhagen Stock Exchange was devastated in a fire. There are TV images going around of what appears to be regular civilians running into the burning building torescue the priceless works of art kept in there. The building is no longer an active stock exchange, but home to Denmark's largest industry association,and the home to a large and priceless historic collection of art,including masterwork paintings by some of Denmark's most renowned painters. The building was undergoing renovations,and was supposed to be ready for the 400 year jubilee of the building later this year.

After Toby first mentions to staff that Andy’s pregnant, Charlie says “we need to step this up” and CJ responds “I’m going to get hats” - Immediately reminded me of “babies come with hats”.

CJ’s suggestion for the Andy and Toby fan club was hats. Married or not in the end, intended or not, there’s something nice about seeing the hats as a symbol of the kids as number 1 fans of their mum and dad.

Ok here is my best shot

1 President 2 First Lady 3-5 daughters 6 Leo 7 fitz 8 presidents doctor 9 er doc 10 vp

And go!

Can someone point me to the ep where he talks about her? I vaguely recall that it involved him listening to a piece of classical music, though maybe I'm mixing it up with Noël. I think maybe she comes up in that ep, too. But they can't be the same ep bc Josh sure wasn't voluntarily listening to classical music at the point of the story where Noël takes place 😅

Who would you want back and who wouldn't you want back?
Want: Charlie, Zoey, Toby's kids, Danny & CJ's kid, Danny & CJ, Josh, Donna, Toby, Andy, with special guest appearances from Jed, Abby, Santos, Fitz and Nancy.

Not Want: Amy, Ainsley, Will, Kate, Sam

I’m starting another rewatch and Mandy is so annoying. Why is she in the show? From her first scene I hate her. It’s so annoying to have to fast forward through her scenes. They should go back and remove her from all episodes.

I can't recall a series that can make me smile or tear up like West Wing. Just watched when Bartlet give his family's knife to Charlie. The show is so amazing to this day!

May 14, 2006 - It is hard to believe but it is true!

Like it will be a real heavy episode, then suddenly this whimsical kingdom hearts disney style music comes on and I'm at the end of season 3 and it still makes me laugh at how inappropriate it is.

What's the deal with it anyway? It's such an odd choice.

Schlamme directed a lot of these episodes about a decade after TWW. And while the writing is not too Sorkonian, the framing and the lighting and the look is *spooky* close, at least to me.

Anyone else a fan of Manhattan, by Sam Shaw?

The Wolves only Roadway crew use Pluie to advocate for the road. However, then, they are about to tell the story of Bonnie the Bear and one assumes it’s to ask for a different environmental project. But we never get to learn what that is because the scene cuts away.

What do you think Bonnie the Bear needed?

(Now, I’m wondering if Allison Janney’s name in Mom is a homage to this episode. I’d consider that a crazy question before Shonda Rimes confirmed that David Rosen (a throwaway character name that we never meet) was used to name Josh Malina’s character in Scandal as a West Wing homage.)
