      Once Aaron Sorkin left early in the fourth season, the writing and characters changed. It went more towards typical tv drama moments. The Will Bailey character was all over the place. They had no idea what to do with him. But Toby’s ending was the worst.

      Sorkin actually wrote the VP's resignation and he needed to to fulfill his season 4 cliffhanger goal: He wanted a Republican to take over when the President stepped away as his daughter was kidnapped. He needed there to be no VP at that point because a Republican speaker's taking over was a far better story line.

    The Season Four finale should've had Hoynes take over during Zoe's kidnapping, it would've paid off four years of storytelling. 'Life on Mars' was a great episode but they should've just used a Cabinet Secretary instead. Would've made the Democratic primary during Seasons 6 & 7 more impactful too

    • @LabradorIndependent

      Agree Hoynes appeared to be built up just to sort of go nowhere.
      Interestingly, Sorkin said the whole reason he had to get Hoynes 'out of the way' is because he wanted to do the Republican speaker takes over storyline. I imagine if he wanted to keep Hoynes, this episode wouldn't have taken place at all.

      $35k a year in 2002 money is about $64k today, which is nearly $20k above the US average personal income of 48k.
      Not saying that Charlie doesn’t deserve all the money ever, but given that his job amounts to being the President’s butler I think an income that places him firmly in the middle class is fine.
