This serie was my life defining moment, my Shangri-La. Whenever I feel down in the dumps I switch on episodes or scenes of this serie and I am okay again. How I wish it was like this in real life!
If there is a West Wing revival/reboot maybe it could pick up at the election and then we see the winner whoever it is pick out his White House staff and get his cabinet or whatever confirmed.
Today's Democrat would listen to about 10 seconds of Toby's "They'll like us when we win" speech and drum him out of the party as an alt-right lunatic. The version of the party portrayed in this show is long gone.
@@chubbychuckle What are you talking about? The wars we won, the losers are now buddies with us: Japan, Germany, Italy. The wars we lost, they still hate us: the entire Middle East and militant Islam.
Leo telling Jed he thinks he "fouls it off" was a good line. Sorkin was sometimes uneven with his sports metaphors, but that one worked. Also: Another nice little Josh & Donna moment. I never get tired of them.
@@durthacht It's a baseball reference. In baseball, hitting a ball into "foul territory" (outside the legal field of play) counts as a strike, but only the first two. Once a batter has 2 strikes during their current "at-bat", any further foul balls they hit don't count as their 3rd (and final) strike. Because of this, quite a few batters will (attempt to) employ a strategy of continuing to hit foul balls, as this both wears down the pitcher, plus increases the odds the batter eventually gets a pitch they like (and can then swing at and get a successful on-base hit). So essentially, "fouling it off" is a way of both playing it safe, plus playing for time. That's the context in which Leo is using the phrase.
She swiped "a" card and the buzzer activated. It turned out to be Charlie's card. How did the machine know the person holding the card is different than the person on the card?
Same way a machine can recognize specific credit cards and every other key card ever made. Each card is specific to one person and has a specific code tied to it, standard 2 factor authentication.
I never understood this scene. How do the White House security not know who the Press Secretary is? They all talking to her like she's a complete random stranger and even call her THIS WOMAN. Like, HOW DO THEY NOT KNOW WHO SHE IS!? They even move to block her when she tries to go through, like huh?
They would know and recognize her, but that doesn't mean they can let her in if for whatever reason her credentials doesn't match or her ID badge doesn't clear the security system. For all they know, she could have been fired or been put on a restricted list for any number of reasons overnight, so they can't let her in just off recognizing her. If it's a glitch or someone playing a prank, an authorized person like Leo can come get her.
I had to send this from my son's email address. Not everyone is trying to purvey a message of moral superiority. Sometimes its a testimony. That being said, Salmon is high in Magnesium.
Too often “testimony” is attached to a religion, mostly Christian in my experiences. They forget to ask if a person is interested, in their moral superiority, as indoctrination teaches them.
I never liked Charlie character after this scene. He intentionally caused her to be threatened with violence. The reason people are so flippant about guns is partially do to Hollywood portrayals like this. That scene was a low point in the show for me.
Thats a pretty rough take. The two were having fun at work and where they work has the highest of all security. Messing with your opponents security card is the natural move to make. I would, anyone who wants to inject a little fun into their high stress work day would. You also had the scene where Charlie took defended CJ from the smart mouth kid and took him on as a big brother despite not having time to, but did it for her anyway. You also had the scene where somebody shot at the Whitehouse and Charlie got to the President to make sure he was ok despite secret service trying to keep him out. You are definitely making something out of nothing in this scene and being unfair to a great guy that would fight and die for her as his friend if need be.
I have been struggling for several minutes to come up with a response other than, “Get help”. That something so minor, and not based in reality, causes a reaction like that in you, is truly concerning.
@@richardgarno6591 lol Thats a pretty tough take as well considering I could or perhaps should have said everything single thing you just said in response to your first post.
Such quality TV from a stellar cast, I want it back now.
President Sam Seaborn?
Nice Pizza Hut product placement 😂
I loved the CJ v Chuckles prank wars
when he super glued her phone and her desk fell apart that was hilarious

Bartlet to Sam while playing chess: "Someday you're going to run for president."
That's how you bring TWW back.

Lowe is 60 now, and Sheen was 59 when TWW started, *sooooo*...

@@teddykgb3865That speech and party was pretty full of s***. They won’t love us if we were to defeat them in a war. We seen that with hindsight.

For a non-American, what does it mean to foul off a pitch? I don't understand the reference.

@@Rotarrin Ah okay, that makes sense. Thanks so much.
@@durthacht You're welcome!

Ever heard of facial recognition
Because she swiped a card AND she typed a code into a keypad. Code and card didn't match.
@@teddykgb3865 Ah...it took me a few viewings to see her typing something. Thanks.
@@tagtag-connected5263 not in those days

you never know with these pesky AI deep fakes or whatever they're called.
The security personnel rotate.
They would know and recognize her, but that doesn't mean they can let her in if for whatever reason her credentials doesn't match or her ID badge doesn't clear the security system.

They are in on the prank with Charlie I think
Protocol is important to security it's there for the safety of the president not for the convenience of a senior staff
While a funny scene but why does Charlie's ID set off an alarm?
It's because it's not her picture, it set off the alarm because it's not her ID
Wrong card with her Code, so the System alarmed that somethings not right.
The West Wing, wanna collab it was really good
But yes Bartlett did lie … and he has MD wife lie … and other doctors lie …

Toby doesn't get children and family and that is ultimately why he's a bad father.
He’s not a bad father, at least it’s never shown in the show. He was a horrible husband. That was a plot of an entire episode in the 6th season
Just because we didn't see it doesn't mean Toby didn't sped time with his children.
How do you know Toby was a bad father?
