Who saw the West Wing last night?
I thought it was incredible. Leo returned and finally got the White House off its dead ass.

But the end of last night's episode gave me that feeling that I used to get at the early episodes. I thought it was very well done.

I like this season, certainly more than last season. It's obviously not what it once was, but it's interesting to see the split occur between Josh and Will Bailey over the upcoming campaigns.

I don't like Jimmy Smits or his character, though. He's not right for the part. Too bad Alan Alda's character is a Republican. I would vote for him.

1. I liked it too
This season is far better than last.

How I wish that administration was the REAL administration and the joke we really have in the west wing was fictional.

2. Maybe they could get an E V Debs character going and really
kick it ! One can only dream. He could 'campaign' from jail even.

4. What they will need after Bartlett needs is an evil,
power mad president with dictatorial pretensions, to reflect the current reality.

5. I'm thinking it'd be great to have the rethug candidate win
then step by step replay the Dumbyass misadministration.

But then I guess the show would be pulled...

6. I think Smits's character is still developing
Hang in there with him because I think they are playing out his political "birth" in the same manner they did with Bartlet.

He'll struggle through the primaries until he finally gets "it" and he'll become the candidate that Josh knows he can be.

Josh knows he's the real deal, the candidate himself hasn't come to that realization yet...

It is starting to get its focus back again.
