LFG!!!!

Adam Crandall

Watching this with you today is literally therapy.

Shawn Looney

Happy Jan 20th! I'm going to be keeping The WW on a loop for the next four years instead of watching the real news.

Anjali Agarwal

The screenwriting debut of Bradley Whitford!

Daniel Lydford

Ed O'Neill is playing Governor Eric Baker of Pennsylvania.

What an amazing episode! Totally agree that putting Jimmy Smits in the opening credits ruined the surprise. I really miss nice Will too, Joe. "Are we the same species?" I love that Annabeth/CJ scene so much, their height difference is crazy. Marla is great and the fact Josh thinks he’s the victim is a bit rich. I loved CJ’s response to the press about her sexuality, it really is none of their business.

Toby and Josh being scared of Marla is terrific! Yeah, we were so annoyed with the press pushing CJ about her sexuality. Different times.

- Helen Santos gets a bad rap from some fans, but I can't help putting myself in her shoes. Her husband was supposed to be getting out of politics altogether, and now he's running for President. This is going to absolutely take over their lives, whether he wins or not. She's also a character on a TV show and she needs start from somewhere so she has room to grow. - I miss Donna as much as anyone, but I think Marla is great. "You're done. Leave." Perfect. - [rot13 for spoilers] Gurer'f fb zhpu ybnqrq vagb gur pbairefngvbaf va guvf rcvfbqr va uvaqfvtug.

I cannot tell you how long I have been refreshing patreon for this reaction. I really love this episode and your reactions always help me escape real world events.

Tim Carpenter

Small note, when they mentioned Bruno earlier this season it was because he runs Governor Baker's campaigns, not Vinick's.

Bradley Whitford did such an impressive job in the writing of this episode. He clearly understands each character, and also knows the strengths of his fellow actors. I love how John Spencer delivers the line, "I already found my guy."

Thank you! Today is...a day. I am sincerely grateful that we can be a part of your day that doesn't stink like some world events.

I don't fault Mrs. Santos at all for her hesitance. Running for president not only puts her husband, herself, and her marriage under intense and unending scrutiny, but it completely changes the lives of their children as well. It's a whole new world, and it's something she clearly didn't ask for.

I really needed this reaction today, thank you 🙏🏽

When you look at the time period of this episode (aired January 12th 2005, hence written in 2004), it was pretty much at the same time the then Illinois senator Barrak Obama did his famous keynote address at the DNC that fast-tracked him to his 2008 run, and win... The Santos campaign launch speech (and character) has some interesting paralels. The Hope message was waaaay before any presidential running for President Obama, but it hits as well! It's confirmed that the Santos character was really based on him (referred many time on the WestWing Weekly podcast, and especially in a great interview with David Axelrod and Eli Attie) Can't wait for you guys to finish the rewatch and jump into the podcast... so worth it!

Same. It's like when I first started watching this in 2017 all over again.

Youtalkingtome
>>161961952

Yeah, I can't wait to listen to the podcast. I'm gunna be watching extra close now to see the parallels to Obama!

Emma Samuel

Ooh that Hope speech hits hard today. A very well written episode -you can see Whitford's love for both the characters and his fellow actors, who all get great, human moments, when it could easily have just been a 'Josh' episode. And Helen Santos is understably rattled here (as I think anyone would be if their husband announced his plan to run for the presidency one random evening!) but she is one of my favourite latter-show characters.

Brian Harris

At the time this was first airing, the speculation was wild. You have to bear in mind, no one knew what was going to happen after the Bartlet administration ended. There were a lot of people, network and industry insiders, who said it was likely the show would continue. So this election wasn’t just about an ending, it was about who the star of the next version of show was going to be. Smits and Alda both seemed like credible stars of a TV show about the presidency … but for that matter, so did Gary Cole, Tim Matheson, and Ed O’Neill. That uncertainty added a sense of real-time suspense to the campaign storyline. Of course, the show did not end up continuing … but my understanding is that that decision was not officially made until about 3/4 of the way through shooting the final season. There’s more to how and why the decision to end the show was made, but I’ll leave it there because getting too much more deeply into it is spoiler territory. It’s a really interesting story, though, and revealing about what network television valued back then and what it didn’t.

Every time I hear CJ ask “where’s Uzbekistan?” I think Kate missed a golden opportunity to answer “somewhere over by China”

Alex Lee

It is so tempting to keep watching, but it's been years since I watched the last 2 seasons and I want to re-experience it with you guys!

We love that you do! Thank you for being here with us. We honestly get giddy when we talk about this show

Youtalkingtome
>>161972307

To imagine this show continuing with a new cast. It would be strange but I am very curious why they chose not to continue

Youtalkingtome
>>161970844

Yeah I totally get her response. That would be heavy and all she was trying to do was eat some melted ice cream!
