West Wing shocker
Posted by IanP on 23 July 2010 - 8:20pm.
Wife and kids away for two weekends, and I've got lots of fun planned. Or what passes for fun for a 45-year-old man.
But tonight I was taking easy, it's been a hard week and I didn't get home from work till gone 11 last night.
So I settled down with series six of the West Wing - I reckon I can get through to the end of seven by the end of October or so. Just a year or so behind the rest of the western world I know, but you can't rush televisual perfection
But I've just got two episodes into series six - and bloody hell, Leo.
And how does effect the future of the Explosion, exactly?

I'm only up to Season 3
And I am just this second recovering from the shock of seeing CJ dissect the lyrics of I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred, then do her own little song and dance version. (Really. Beginning of Episode 7, if you want to check).
NOTHING could possibly be more surprising than that.
*slinks off this thread only to return when I catch up with you in Season Six*
I'm in love with CJ,
and that was a truly wonderful scene. I can see her dance now in my mind's eye.
Ms D, there are shocks aplenty to come.
I'm just sad that I'm on the home straight now.
Next up is the Sopranos box set. I lost touch with the original transmissions somewhere in season two.
But it won't be the West Wing
One of the many things
that makes The West Wing the finest piece of television ever concocted - along with its note-perfect prediction of the rise of Obama - is the way it almost supernaturally lays down plot points that will take on huge significance later.
We're off camping first thing tomorrow for the second weekend in a row. Wanna swap?
My brood
are off camping, too.
I haven't been under canvas since Glastonbury 1992, and I plan to spend all remaining nights under a solid roof and in a proper bed.
You're welcome round at mine though, there's Guinness, steak, and I must have one album you haven't heard.
Sesame Street
That's all I'm saying. Loveliest moment of the entire run, and that's going some. My favourite TV show ever, bar none, and sometime next year I will watch all seven seasons for the fifth time. ;)
