The West Wing 10/16
All in all I thought this was a decent episode though not as good as the previous. I missed the entire first season so it was nice to have flashes of what relationships were like back then. No previews for next week so I guess every network is avoiding the World Series so we have to wait even longer for the debate episode

I thought it was nice to see the way they're setting Sam up to ruin for Congress in Orange County CA. He's certainly getting a lot of practice debating.

For some reason, I thought you needed to be a resident in a certain district for a period of time before you could run. And I'd think that 6 weeks (that's how long before the election, right?) wouldn't be enough...

Wouldn't there be residency requirements about that? I mean, he's not originally from there, is he?

Yeah. I think if they are setting it up, it is for the election 2 years down the road.

I've posted this before, but I think Sorkin does his best work in flashback. I don't think of this particular episode on the level of something like 'Two Cathedrals' or 'Bartlet for America' (two incredible flashback episodes), but it was still very good, and the flashback method worked nicely.

• Quoth Boot •<HR SIZE=1>Actually, wasn't it something like "I'm just going to walk around and see if I can get in on a pick-up meeting." <HR SIZE=1>
I guess. Maybe it was "I'm preparing to circumambulate the facility with potential ambition to invest time in a hitherto unplanned gathering." Does it really matter?
