The West Wing

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I really love it when he puts his hands in his pockets. You know he's 'got it'.

[Karma Pollis]

For me you could have practically any scene with Toby Ziegler in it. Great character, superbly acted.

Just started watching this again, absolutely superb. Comfortably in my top 3 series of all time, with The Wire and The Sopranos.

[Kevin D]

Particularly from 3:23.

Watching some of those earlier clips reminds me of how much I loved this programme and never finished watching all of the series.

 

I think I might start again from series 1.

I thought he was going to have to fall all over himself trying to be genial.

So did we. But then, we were convinced by polling that said he was going to be seen as arrogant no matter what performance he gave in the debate. And then, that morning at 3:10, my phone rings, and it's Toby Ziegler. He says, "Don't you get it? It's a gift that they're irreversibly convinced that he's arrogant 'cause now he can be." If your guy's seen that way, you might as well knock some bodies down with it.

Toby: Abbey told me this story once. She said you where at a party once where you were bending this guy's ear. You were telling him that Ellie had mastered her multiplication table and she was in third-grade reading at a fifth-grade level and she loved books and she scored two goals for her soccer team the week before, you were going on and on... And what made that story remarkable is that the party you were at was in Stockholm and the man you were talking to was King Gustav, who two hours earlier had given you the Noble Prize in economics. [Laughs]. I mean, my God, you just won the Noble Prize and all you wanted to talk about was Ellie's multiplication table.

I hate politics, pointless me watching this?

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Depends really. Some of what makes it cool is political, but most of it has nothing to do with politics really. Give a couple of episodes a go and see how you like it.

Once I have watched Game of thrones this will be on my list.

How are you getting on with GoT?

Only watched 4 episodes because I watch it with my bird. I am really enjoying it though.

Nancy McNally: Leo. Chairman Fitzwallace.

Fitz: Dr. McNally.

Nancy: Let's attack

Fitz: Who?

Nancy: Qumar. Let's recommend to the president that we attack.

Leo: Why?

Nancy: 'Cause I've had it.

Fitz: I don't think the U.N is going to let us do it for that reason.

Nancy: That's 'cause you're a sissy.

Did you finish season 2 though? It finishes with one of the best episodes of any TV show ever.

[VladimirIlyich]

No I havent done. I might try to finish it soon.

[Nomad]

I have just started watching this on Netflix. I always thought it would be rubbish and wouldnt interest me, howerver after watching House of Cards i found the Polical drama quite interesting.

 

Glad I did on to Season 2 now and loving it

[VladimirIlyich]

Liked House of Cards a lot. Series 2 is on its way in the next week or two I believe.

 

Loving Netflix.

"What will I remember? What will I tell my Grandchildren? I'll tell them that I stood on the Great Wall of China; and I stood in the well of the U.S House of Representatives; I'll tell them I sat with Kings and Cardinals and made an appointment to the Supreme Court: And I'll tell them one morning in September, I got to spend a few minutes with the men and women of Air Wing One - God bless you and your families and may he continue to shed his magnificence great on the United States of America."

Any time i see this thread bumped I get my hopes up that they've decided to do another series. I have sad face....

Game of thrones is definitely the program to watch if you don't like politics.

Haha. Yeah, West Wing is less political than GoT.
