west wing 4/23
wow. after so long off, the show comes roaring back with a vengence. many many good things.
--charlie and zoe. always good to see them together. will she go off to france or will charlie convince her to stay? it will be interesting to find out. i really hope that they do get back together.
--many funny moments. debbie and her $50 bets. charlie storming the oval office after the crash. will, toby and cj entering the oval office after the shots..."will who?"
--donna and josh. once again, without going over the top we see how these two care for each other and the great relationship between them. after the shots were fired, the first thing on her mind is to take care of josh and make sure he's alright. then while talking to chandler (oops), josh talking about the hate mail donna got and wondering how anyone can hate her? great stuff.
--chandler, i mean, matthew perry. i thought he did a good job. while not the best dramatic role, i thought it was a good starting point for someone who is mostly based in comedy.
--the attack scenes may have been lame to some but i really enjoyed the sequence. it reminded me of the first season finale and second season opener which i still think was the best moments of the show.
--we got to see ron butterfield again.

pretty good episode
the conservative bashing was a bit much though
there are left wingers that have just as much hate as the hateful right wingers, but sorkin doesn't seem to notice that and just had the characters go on a long anti-conservative rant

Might be a spoiler here. be warned
I haven't watched the show in a while, but I used to love it. I caught it tonight and I am pleased I did.
I think I am suffering a brain fog moment. I thought that on the coming attractions last week they said something about a kidnapping. Did it happen and I missed it at the beginning? Is that still coming up? Is my mind slipping?
Thanks for the info!

But I agree. This was a great episode. The last couple were only good, but this one had a lot of humor and drama.

great episode. the only bad thing i can say is that my tape was ****ed up or i was getting the broadcast ****ed up. missed about 1/5th of the dialog just due to audio static.
i did love the "the how can you hate donna? she's from wisconsin!" dialog.

Good episode. The conservative bashign didn't bother me as much as it did mikehunt since Josh said the right hates us and the left degrades the right - everybody sucks.
Question though, when josh and perry's character are talking about the shooting, perry says something to the effect that no one believes and no one cares about josh's story. What the heck were they talking about?
I just noticed that dule hill has first billing on the show now that Rob Lowe is gone - gotta love alpha order. Now if only they'd keep giving him more scenes I'd be happy.
