WW7 11

I think every WW fan agrees with you guys on Toby. He has always been loyal to a fault to Bartlet. The plot line doesn't sit well with any of us.

As someone who has loved Danny and CJ from day dot I love their scenes here. But I will never forgive the opening of s7 ruining the surprise for me, lol.

CJ was amazing in this episode; she was in every scene and we got very little Martin Sheen these last few episodes. But I like the view of the WH from her perspective. Love the CJ/Danny rekindling! I couldn't remember when he came back but was pleasantly surprised to see him now. I always think it so interesting that the episode sets it up as Liz being out of touch, like she doesn't know about the affair, but every time Annabeth Gish is on screen she brings it and shows that Liz is a lot savvier than people give her credit for, more politically and intellectually aware than her sisters. The next couple episodes are really fascinating from the campaign's perspective.

Actually, I think this episode makes sure that WE know that she knows about Doug's affair, and lets C.J. know as well. She's the real politician after Jed, as Jed himself told her the last time we saw her in the Residence with the kids (thanks to the "Previously on the West Wing" that Max unfortunately decided to remove)

For sure, I really would like it if we still didn't know if Danny and CJ ended up together. Kind of a bummer knowing that already with their relationship still up in the air.

I definitely don't like him being reduced for the bulk of the season (thus far, and I assume the rest of the way) to sulking alone in his apartment.

This is THE episode that "breaks the camel's back" (as Danny eloquently says) in regards to the flash-forward from S7 episode 1... Why on Earth would it be a "good thing" to know that Danny and C.J. are together with a kid 3 years after Bartlett left office? It removes all the sizzle of Danny's attempt to rekindle the flame he has for C.J... We now KNOW it works (great for them, but sad for us!)

Have to come back on the great writing from Bradley Whitford, and his especially stinging quip towards Joshua Malina for "not being able to act", but I'll go with the fact that he KNEW Allison Janney is a powerhouse and he's put her in a strong position yet stressful lineup of decisions she had to make during the whole episode. When you wanted more of the campaign, he managed to give us a full WH episode that was thrilling, needing all of our brains to figure out all the implications of the "political dance" C.J. was doing in her back-door diplomacy (Yes, it was Ronald Guttman that played the German ambassador and Megan's father in Mad Men) I also love the discussion with the Chinese ambassador... Again, what a feat from Bradley's writing this was!

Danny asking CJ to hold hands on the way down makes me swoon every time!

I can safely say that there's perhaps 1 episode later on that we'll warn you NOT to look at the beginning credits, but it's not for a little while. We'll warn you in advance for that specific episode. ROT13: Vg'f Ebo Ybjr Next week has a guest star that is world-class but he's going to be in real quick (actually, you see him as his name comes to the screen, so no spoilers at all) So you may peek at the writing credits from now on if you wish to.

Another great CJ episode, where I think she was in every single scene. I've said it before, and i'll say it again, Allison Janney is top tier actress! Also, could Doug and Vic be more different?!

Alex Lee

A reaction to the Chernobyl series would be great!

Personally, my chest felt lighter until the end knowing that they were gonna be okay (I am a CJ/Danny big stan, and for once, I was relieved, even because it had been a long time since we've seen Danny and I wanted him so much to come back but I lost hope and then.... I don't know, maybe I'm weird^^)

Youtalkingtome

The fact that he wrote this is incredible. I knew he has written an episode before but man this was amazing! Top notch

The one character i truly loved from this episode was the State department guy working on the Genocide issue. He was a guy who just wanted to do good, and stop horrific killing. He was dedicated and invested and bought all the way in on doing good. He was acted great.
