Krokodil, tell me that wasn’t from memory!
Perversely perhaps, but I still like the show. These extra episodes are different, much more episodic, and I do wish they would finish at least one plot line a show, instead of “tune in next week.”
But I still like the people. I want to know what happens, but even more, I want to know what they will say.
I wonder if Matt would have been as attracted to Harry if she hadn’t had such a strong central belief. What the flashbacks over time showed me was that Matt sort of relied on her to be unshaken, and it was what allowed him to continue to question. He didn’t have to comfort her, he relied on her for comfort, for being the thing that doesn’t change in a scary changing world. He needs her to be strong, and it almost doesn’t matter how. She doesn’t change, so he doesn’t have to, either. He’s not ready to be a different person.
I like Danny, but wow, not the person I’d let be my child’s father very quickly. It’s like a child addiction, and he’s been through too many addicitons before. What happens when the next thing comes along? Well, what can I say, I’d watch the show.
I thought maybe the claiming that Tom and his brother were estranged was to protect his brother. That seemed like the obvious reason to me, to distance him from the profane sketch. It seemed unrealistic that no one even suggested that.
Could the lawyer be something else? She seems WAY too high powered for an unlawful firing suit. You’d think, at her prices, they’d pay the accuser to go away instead.
I’m sorry it’s ending. I never got into West Wing, so nothing is redundent to me. I did wince at the self-conscious “pregnancy in danger” line, but I like the people and I like the dialog. And almost every show, there is at least one true, surprising moment.
