Fitzwallace was the guy you wanted in a critical situation.
And doctor mcnalley!
I love the situation room scenes, usually means we get to see Fitz
Longer clips like this are super welcome!
Absolutely!! You took the words right out of my mouth! ❤
There is something terrifying in the simplicity of "Mr. President, we've put together a scenario by which we attack *Hassan Airport."* It showcases just how _easy_ it would be to inflict maximum harm, and that maintaining peace is the truly difficult choice.
And yet, we don’t target civilian targets.
😂😂😂😂😂@@paulc7486
Always appreciated to question that seen brings up. How moral is a proportional response, really? It has brought us decades of continual minor wars. Is this really better? Not saying it isn't better, but I would hope in halls were it matters, the question was asked.
I would think the Iraq war and the 3/4ths of a million people murdered by Americans because a corrupt administration ordered it would be example enough.
@@bigbadjohn7053 A disproportional response would likely beget an even more disproportional response, basically MAD doctrine. Whether it's a drunk person in a bar that kills someone with a punch because of a perceived look, or a nuclear nation launching because of a radar blip.
The casting of Admiral/Chairman Fitzwallace is one of the best television casting decisions of all time
OH YEAH WE GOT LONGFORM NOW LETS GO!
"Just another crazy general with guns. No offense Fitz." Legend.
I'm sure Admiral Fitzwallace was probably more offended at being compared to a General.
I always smile whenever I see President Goodman.
I adore how he asks the pilot about his ankle and then for his parents number because usually he calls parents of lost service members and now he gets to have a waaaay better version!
Yes! Keep the longer videos coming. We'll be watching all of them.
“Phil, if it ends up Fitzwallace has to call this kid’s parents I swear to God I’m invading Baghdad.
Get him back.”
Chills
This is EXACTLY the compilation I was waiting for!
I gotta admit showing a prospective love interest how their hometown is gonna be during a nuclear strike is a hell of a opening moving in the game of woo.
I love how they introduce Lord John Marlbury. CJ on the phone to whomwever
I’m so thrilled that TWW has an official RUclips channel ❤ keeping the best tv show or all time, alive
The "proportional response" scene is ridiculous. That Fitzwallace and his team, in giving the president a supposedly more robust response option, present one which involves possibly thousands of civilian casualties, is preposterous. As opposed to maybe....every military airfield, port and headquarters in half of the country is destroyed overnight, or something similar in scale.
That’s the point he’s trying to make - he took the extreme option to show the President what it means to take a disproportionate response.
@@galwitprifor001 - But that isn't what it means. Massive destruction to the enemy's military ability with minor, if any, civilian casualties is exactly what Bartlett asked for. Fitzwallace did not give it to him when it was certainly within the US military's ability to provide.
@@2013jpm That’s what Bartlett thought he was asking for. But Fitz knew that such an action would eventually escalate to the point where civilians would be targeted because there was no other way to get to the enemy’s leaders. So he skipped the intermediate steps and showed Bartlett the worst case scenario short of a nuke.
@@galwitprifor001 - that's a possibility, sure, but it's not what the president asked for. An overwhelming response that reduces the enemy's military capabilities to the point that not only is its ability to cause mayhem around the globe threatened but its survival in the region is at risk might just do the job - which was exactly what Bartlett wanted.
USN F-14s shooting down two Libyan Migs once accomplished this very thing.
I would actually suggest it's a great example of managing up. Adm. Fitzwallace wants Pericles One, so the alternative he offers is deliberately unacceptable to the President's moral imperatives. It could have been more subtle (e.g. a more comprehensive response that risked American attrition), but they're writers not strategists.
Thank you for sharing this show.😊
Love this channel, keep it up. However, I want to point out that there has been an unconscionable lack of Anna Deavere Smith clips uploaded so far, Nancy McNally may have only been in 20 episodes but she was one of the greatest side characters in an already stacked cast.
She’s in this video
@@PantherU Yeah, obviously. And that's the only clip of Nancy uploaded to the channel so far.
She’s wonderful in this show and American president
THIS...BRILLIANT. 👌
President suggested bumping it from a $50 fine to a $5000 one , what the joint chiefs came back with was bumping the fine up to a kneecapping .
Thank you to whoeverade this video
Sure this is television and not real. But this is how I was POTUS to react; by taking those moments to find clarity for what he has to do. Find clarity for the decision he is about to make. Understanding fully that there will be a reaction to his actions that will put others in harms way. Clear heads should prevail in a crisis.
I agree with the disproportionate response.
3:48: I love the way Leo looks at Bartlet here: now you will all see why I made this guy president.
Anything that happens in the Situation Room is a dangerous scenario to me if there's anything I've learned from this TV series.
In reality it's the same thing. Whoever the President may be, if you're sent to the Situation Room that means SOMETHING REAL SERIOUS IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN and a RIDICULOUSLY NERVE WRACKING AND HEART POUNDING AND SOUL CRUSHING DECISION HAS TO BE MADE.
Oopsy. Looks like someone got their first little bit of bloodlust.
He was pissed as his personal physician was killed, and he had kids
John Goodman was fantastic in this role
That was such a funny flex: “let’s see if your hometown survives the nuclear apocalypse”
I HATE what they did to Toby's character with regard to the military space shuttle story line.
First off, I do not for a moment believe Toby's brother would have revealed that information to Toby.
Second, even if he did, while Toby may have disagreed with any decision not to employ the military shuttle for a rescue mission, he would have respected the President's reasoning and kept mum.
Thirdly, if Toby could not reconcile that reasoning, then he would have simply resigned. No way he gives the quote to a reporter.
I am staggered that the company that in 1886 got the Patent-Motorwagen, for what is widely regarded as the first internal combustion engine in a self-propelled automobile.
The slogan for the brand then was "The Best or Nothing!".
What an amazing waste of Court time when all they had to do was spend what - $200? - and simply replace the steering wheel.
How does three-pronged remain one of the most sold car brands?
How?!
Keep up the superb journalism JC!
MB may give you a car as a thank you?!
Charlie was ridiculous coming out of her room in deshabille.
It would really help if you could please put time stamps in the comments telling us which episodes these segments are from, so we know which episode we want to watch in full.
Eagle... Right Face!
TWW was one of the best TV series ever.
President Bartlett was the best President that the US never had.
I did wonder about the proportional response though. The situation went from one basic response to huge response and no stops along the way. "Four rated targets" well why not hit eight or ten rated targets, but well below the wholly disproportionate response.
Apparently Martin Sheen is a softly spoken and kind man. This shows how strong and actor he is with the performance of rage he gives. Even his first lines on the show, end of the first episode, quoting the Commandments was a powerful introduction for his character.
The question is : how and where did Leo get to know the details and ends to the sit-room's operations? He was a cabinet member in the previous administration, but there was no reason why he'd been in the situation room before!
Leo was in the military. At this point the only former military member, and he’s worked at defence contractors. He knows the jargon, the way things go.
And every chef of staff is in that room with the POTUS
Every compilation I watch just hammers in the fact that the non-Sorkin seasons are so inferior.
An unarmed F-117 flying patrol in a no fly zone...how does he defend himself, spriballs?
The F-1178 was designed to be a stealth bomber...no guns, not designed to dogfight.
29:52 - If looks could kill...
23:00 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
And yet this is almost always the LEAST important factor voters consider even though EVERY President says this is the hardest part of the job 😩😩😩😩
How could you not have the one with Canada.
hey, people uploading these clips- would you consider adding subtitles?
Is Phil in this scene David Axelrod?
Love how he asks for the parents phone number. I wonder how many 26 year olds now know that off hand somewhere over the middle east.
The greatest president America never had🇺🇸
Admiral SissyMary
One wonders if Bibi has watched this. Probably not...
When you could do politics in a show and do it right.
