[jakefrep]

Looks like President Bartlet is doing all the diplomatic stuff * wouldn't do in the aftermath of the Congressional delegation being bombed.

8. i feel sorry for you

10. I heard Allison Janney say that she becomes Chief of Staff

What happens to Leo? And shouldn't Josh be ahead of her?

[pres2032]

11. i don't know

the previews (no spoilers) seem to lead on that leo has like a heart attack or something. I'm really hoping its just a typical misleading preview and he doesn't die or anything, but I'm not putting too much past John Wells. But if he does die, yes, it should be Josh since he is deputy chief of staff.

12. It's true -- CJ becomes Chief of Staff

Allison Janney was on the Today show this morning, and said that was one plot line John Wells allowed her to give away. Leo has a heart attack and designates C.J. as chief of staff -- which seems to me to be a huge leap-frog over a lot of people, but, hey.

I read another preview on the Web that kind of hinted around that Josh and Donna would be working on "other campaigns," now that they'r officially an item (I'm guessing they've hooked up -- I wasn't home for most of it, husband had baseball game on, and VCR was tied up with something else.)

2. I'm watching

Did Leo just misunderstand the President's order?

:wow:

3. whoo hoo, there ARE people watching it!!

I started a thread earlier and it dropped like a rock. I definitely agree that Bartlet is the anti-bush in this episode.

4. Yep I am here watching it :)

This West Wing is better than the Real West Wing , sad thing actually .

[LizW]

5. Over???!! Already???

Gosh, that seemed short.

How'd you like that conversation where the general was trying to get Bartlett to bomb Iran and said they'd come up with a terrorist connection later? Bartlett's reaction was terrific.

[pres2032]

6. yeah, that was pretty cool

could it have been a more obvious attack towards bush??

9. I have a dark feeling...

after watching the previews for the rest of the season, that the show is about to "jump the shark." A Republican gets elected? Horror of Horrors (even though Alan Alda might make a pretty good President)!

[Beaverhausen]

13. They said they would portray the opposite party on the show

that is in the White House at the time. So they must be thinking that the Dems are getting back in!

I thought the show was great.

[Lavender Brown]

14. What's happening with the Josh & Donna story?

I missed a few episodes last year and now I don't know what's going on.

[Beaverhausen]

15. Josh is realizing how much he cares for her

but she has this new love interest...the irish photographer...and this makes Josh jealous.

I predict they do it this year.

[jakefrep]

16. I could be wrong...

...but could it be that the Irish photographer guy is the one who triggered the roadside bomb? During one of the flashback scenes, as the motorcade is driving away, he reaches into his bag - perhaps for a cell phone?

[Lavender Brown]

17. Well, you may be on to something

As that actor (Jason Isaacs) has almost never played anything but really evil roles.
