- These videos are all the Josh and Donna lines from the 2 episodes Election Day 6-16 and 6-17. They are my favorite couple, and I love how Donna is careful to Josh in these heavy emotionnal day.
I think after the kiss from the Cold, this is a really big "Finally!" episode.
Josh best line : Do I have her?
The fact that the only person Josh even bothered to hug and hold on to was Donna warms my heart.
I still watch re-runs of this show...loved it then, love it now. Best writing and characters ever. And the sad thing is that all the issues are STILL RELEVANT TODAY. We haven't progressed very much...
Primarily because you have REGRESSED a shit ton.
I do watch it over quite a bit. And I come away with that same feeling.
Quite possibly the best tv show ever from America. Got all the boxed sets, and watch it every year from start to finish. It's amazing, beautiful, poetic and Shakespearian.
Just finished watching season 6 earlier this week and will soon finish watching season 7. This will be the third time I've went through the complete season. I love this show and the characters in it!
Never knew till recently just how many ""Wing Nuts"" are still out there. Thank you for sharing, it is so gratifying to know I am not the only person still so passionate about this outstanding show.
still here!
Four years later, still out here
2018
I watched this series for the first time earlier this year. Took under a month for all seven seasons. And I just started again from the beginning. I think I might have a problem.
Ro G I just started watching season 7. I never saw West Wing during the time it aired. I decided to buy the DVD's watching one season a month. I decided to start watching this now because of the horrific Trump presidency we are dealing with now. It is my "therapy" for giving me hope that we will get through this horrific time...and hopefully back to "the common sense, values, dignity and respect" that most Presidents brought us compared to Trump. I think watching West Wing helps with a good civics lesson also. Plus I love the "Josh and Donna banter"...they both are sharp as cookies and so intelligent in their introspective characters. It was obvious from the beginning how great they were for one another...can't wait to see how it all turns out. Great show incredible "realistic" superb acting. Martin Sheen is so perfect as "an imperfect but great wise President! Thanks for letting me share..
Josh is such a compelling character. He feels guilt over his sister, so he wants to make his life worth something. He loses his father on Bartlet's big day, so he wants to win so his father is proud. He is so loyal to Leo because Leo gave him his big chance, so he doesn't want to let him down. And he convinced Santos run, so he doesn't want to let him down.
Where do I sign up for the Lemon Lyman fan site?!
Ro G there’s one on Instagram...
I love Josh, he is the best.
Wait, where did the show indicate something about his sister? I've watched the show more than 4 times and never heard about that.
@@redwall1521 The episode he was given the nuclear attack card thing :)
@@redwall1521 In The Crackpots and These Women, he talks about her death, how she was taking care of him and there was a fire and he was okay but she didn't make it. And then Donna talking with Amy (on Commencement, S4), she speaks about how he never leaves people, and mentions again how he always feels that everytime he loves someone, he's gonna lose that person because of him.

This was so much worse to watch in real time in 2006 because John Spencer had passed away several months before so people were pretty certain they’d kill him off. Heck, the ads would even mention that it was John Spencer’s final episode. You can tell the cast is as agonized as the characters would be.
Yeah they were mourning John Spencer.
There is one scene you missed, when Josh fills in Nevada on the whiteboard. I love it because the day begins with him filling in the first state and ends with him filling in the winning states. Not certain if Donna is in it but its a great moment.
This is such an emotional episode, that does an amazing job of showing the bond of Josh and Donna. I love the way he is hugging her when he mouths thanks to Santos, so sweet and protective, all encompassing.
You left out the most touching part - when Annabeth tells Josh and Donna that Leo died. The look of shock and horror on Brad's face was entirely real.
It wasn’t left out. You didn’t watch long enough.
The way josh is hugging Donna when he says your welcome... I want a guy to hold me like that
"Ow" When he leans on her chest. You can tell that kinda hurt because she flinched. Poor Josh lost his dad and then his mentor both on a night he should have been celebrating with them. :(
I think that these scenes show why Donna and Josh were a good couple- they contrasted and so complemented each other. Josh and Amy were too similar and too strong to make it as a couple. Amy was smart and so capable and brilliant in her thinking but she wasn't a likeable character and lacked necessary softness although she did yes have empathy but she was abrasive and probably never learned to ease off in certain situations- she probably put a lot of people off because she had one speed and one approach- these points are NOT because she was female- they're made about a person. Cause Josh could be abrasive and arrogant too but I think that he did learn and he had a softness and an empathy that came across more. I think that was one of the major pluses about this show- that it showed that even people you admire you don;t always like and that we all have flaws but you have to look at the whole person.
Why did it take almost 9 years for these 2 characters finally to get on the same page?
@@varianschirmer9375 I think in some interview Aaron Sorkin conceded that they should have been together sooner.
It was down to his style of writing that they weren't.
By the time this happened he had long since left the show but glad am I that it did!
Stay Safe!
👍
One of the many heartbreaking things about the death of Leo is that as tragic as it was, it fit Josh's storyline of heavy personal tragedies happening during triumphs. My hat's off to the writers for handling the horrible situation with sensitivity.
There is last strongly scene to this episode: while everybody is celebrating Santo's victory, Josh discretely leaves to the main control room, adds the Nevada counting to the total, paints the Nevada map blue (meaning a democratic victory) and then touches Leo's photograph on the wall, whispering "thanks, boss."
redstar12345 I’m right now watching the whole series, that’s gonna be difficult to watch. 😭😭😭😭
best acted, best developed love story of all - amazing stuff
Sexist jerk treats Donna like shit yet she still falls for him; more of a hostage situation than love. His character is nothing more than a sexist arsehole.
@@flyingdutch9818 I dig them but I've never actually seen the series from beginning to end (just the first two seasons a couple years back) because it's not really available in my country. I'm genuinely curious about your point of view, could you elaborate, please? 🙂 I was very disappointed when I read the most popular fanfiction about Josh/Donna and found Josh in it terribly controlling and manipulative. So I'm now wondering (thanks to your comment) if I've misinterpreted their storyline in the series.
Just listened to a great podcast was absolutely wonderful all about West Wing,Two of the main characters spoke threw the interview everyones favorite Josh Lyman was one.
01:45 The second time Donna had to tell Josh very bad news about his father (or surrogate).
Boy I do miss this show!
It usually IS warm in Houston in November, in the daytime. But by November the nights do start to turn cooler.
Way early on - Donna to Josh - "I think you might find me valuable" .
Oh boy did he?
The scene starting at 1:42 had to have been extremely difficult for them to perform, especially with how loved John Spencer was by his castmates.
This appropriate, moving response by Josh to the news just makes me all the more salty about how he reacted (or DIDN'T react) when Leo had a heart attack at the beginning of Season 6. Brutal. Best writing? Excellent writing from Sorkin. Decent writing in Seasons 6 and 7, overall. Season 5 and the beginning of Season 6 was... oof.
A great show to get us through these tough times. It helps me get through this insanity.
By "tough times" do you mean trying to recover from 8 years of obama?
If only we could go back to the tough times of two years ago
Does anyone have a link to Election Day part 1 of 2
Where's part one?
I think you mised a scene from election day part 1. When they are in bed after Donna suggest they go for a walk or something
I sympathize with Josh
Love story .... Ideal :)
Careful Danny, you might get locked up on that rooftop
Vinick won california
Because he was actually dead!
Yeah, he died while filming the last series, and watching this episode, never realise that you actually don’t see the actor all the way through. He’s talked about through the entire episode and you just don’t realise he’s not there. It was amazing script writing for this episode and even more axing acting
I am one of those that never wanted Josh and Donna to get together. They were more like a close brother and sister. I always thought Amy and Josh were a way better couple.
Amy was unreliable, played mind games and never really cared enough to understand Josh. She would have destroyed him.
@@jenniferr.holloway8555 Well said. Amy never would have stood watch over his hospital bed after he was shot, or helped him through recovery. Noticed he had PTSD. Like Donna told Amy, you have to get Josh. And it was clearly obvious that Amy didn't. Amy thought she was better than Josh.
@@dawggirlbullseye
Amy did not understand what Government meant to Josh. She was unable to accept that he had the utmost respect for it.
leave it to the Democrats to party when thier WHCOS just died...
David Peek they didn’t know he was dead
It's a tv show, get over it
He was the VP-elect (since they won), not Bartlet’s Chief of Staff (who was CJ Craig). At least by then.
@@gracewestpfahl9968Of course they knew he was dead.
