The romance of this scene... The other guys helping him out like schoolboys & then standing there in a line so adorably. Charlie intent on winning back Zoe’s heart...
*Charlie* : I took off my coat to show my love for Zoey. *Josh, less than 2 minutes later* : takes off his coat to put it on Donna's shoulders. I mean, it's r i g h t t h e r e.
Absolutely. There's no coincidence in that gesture. That's what I love about TWW - subtlety. Things don't need to be shown on screen literally to be understood. That's how art works, using different ways to convey the meaning.
@@chriskelly3481 he's part of the world that keeps moving off screen. If he, Ed, Larry, Joey Lucas, and all the others weren't so well written, the world would feel so small.
I've binge watched this show seriously 7 times on Netflix and every single time Josh stops mid sentence and say " ...............You look AMAZING " with that total shocked face, I smile and start crying at the same time. THAT is how a woman wants to be noticed by a guy, that look.
I watched this episode last night and this scene made me melt. When he just stops in the middle of telling her off to tell her she looks amazing. It's so perfect. Brad and Janel are great. And the four guys are all such children in the background it really makes me laugh.
So much of the great writing of this show was the plausible way that whole untold episodes of stories existed outside of what we got to see. When Margaret was pregnant, the deal with Joey Lucas and that twerp she was in the hotel room with, Leo and Annabeth, and just this throw away line from Toby ... 'This is what I've been *telling* you' ... I just love the idea that somewhere we didn't ever get to see but can so easily imagine, Toby and Charlie bonded late at night in a bar over how much Charlie dislikes the French boy wonder.... kinda like that scene when they played pool.
I just love them so damn much. I think this is my favorite scene although that is probably surpassed by the Gaza arc I just watched. Whenever Josh is showing his feelings and obvious pure love for Donna, it's so beautiful. And Brad plays it so well.
Almost 20 years after this first aired (back then the UK for the episodes several months after they were shown in the US) this still gives me warm tingles every time he says "you look amazing" and she responds with that smile that was only ever for Josh. And then I remember it took another THREE years to get their act together. Even her being blown up didn't stop them being idiots. Even when their colleagues called them out. Even when Donna's boyfriends (Colin and Cliff) both suggest it to Josh, and Donna tells Amy (at that time seeing Josh) that she doesn't get him. CJ should have kept her mouth shut though. She guilt tripped Donna into going on the CODEL and that almost killed her.
They actually apportion Donnas smiles throughout the show really frugally... So the love we ALL feel for her is mostly SANS-smile. But when they choose to drop it on the show?!?!... Look out!... Stunning.
It's so hard for a man to tell a lady how amazing she looks when she is too busy to hear it. Hitch said "Why does it have to be so Got Damn Hard?" God said "Be Still..." Ladies be still so we could tell you how beautiful you are... please.
Wasent there an episcode where Donna gets seriolous injured and Josh is in her hospitable room looking at her and having to face for the first time how much she meens to him.
I feel a little bit of love for Will for having to 'replace' Sam and be a NERD-nerd... always have. The new kid is always hated. And who has never been the new kid?
Had to happen that way. Donna was indispensable to Josh, but he had no way of both keeping Donna and promoting her as he should have. Donna needed to establish herself, her career, and her confidence in politics while not under Josh's wing. Doing all of that and then reuniting them as colleagues for the general election for the romance to final boil over was absolutely the most realistic thing to do with the arc. Trying to do a romance between these two in any other way would have been a terrible idea fraught with inappropriate power dynamics, and honestly a bit of sleaze. Josh had been a perfect, albeit corky, gentleman boss and friend. You can't tarnish that just to reach the romance pinnacle sooner.
“I know women. I know what they like. DONNA!!!”
God, I love these idiots so much.
😂😂😂 Me, too.
"STELLAAAA!"
Josh: You came down here without a coat?!?!
I just can’t stand how much he loves her, it’s too much.
Genie Hossain you’re so Right i Never noticed that ! But they are the most frustrating couple ever !!!
The romance of this scene...
The other guys helping him out like schoolboys & then standing there in a line so adorably.
Charlie intent on winning back Zoe’s heart...
I LOVE THEM SM
“The buzzers not working”
“Did you try it?”
“No I DIVINED it.”
Use the force Josh!
Josh “I know women I know what like DONNA” 😂😂😂
Just reading this cracks me up again xD
*Charlie* : I took off my coat to show my love for Zoey.
*Josh, less than 2 minutes later* : takes off his coat to put it on Donna's shoulders.

...Shameless.
🤦♂️🤣👍
“I’m sorry I lied” (Josh thinks to himself she should be punished)
“Sit on my lap”
“Ok”
Donna snuck into Josh's life in the context of work, and gradually became one of the people he trusted the most.
The sincerity that Whitford is able to pour into that stop-and-look comment about her looking amazing is really impactive
The most amazing thing about this episode is that Danny made Toby laugh. And she does look amazing.
Danny is actually an AMAZING character.
Not over or under used, but JUUUST right.
LOVE him... (&C.J)

I love when Charlie hangs with the boys like this 😊
The most horrifying thing here is Toby smiling and laughing.

A nice moment is when the other guys start looking at the ground and thinking "yeah, we can do that too."

"Hi cute girl our friend likes!"
😜👍
This whole scene was just adorable all of them!! So funny too.
"you'll have to sit on someone's lap" omg
Okay
Not mine!
THAT would be an awkward trip.
😶

That smile of hers could guide ships in a fog.
I love how they all start chucking snowballs to
If I guy yelled at me like that I'd love him too

Brad is just generally very charming
And let's face it... how could he NOT be at least a little in love with her in reality/general?...
🤷🏼♂️
They both sound like teenagers in love ...so cute!
Charlie: I took off my jacket to prove my love to Zoe!
Josh: *takes off jacket*
“It’s okay - I’m the good cop!”
I finally thought after he said she looks great that their relationship was going to grow.😪

She's just ,, , , , , lovely.
Donna when she smiles is awesome !

Toby what are you?
Hurry up!!!
If it was the wrong apartment, the police were called or they hit Donna with a snowball 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏽♀️ would have been hilarious!!!!!
You know Charles is the one that hit it first.
The OG will they won’t they couple 😂🤦♀️
No, that was Moonlighting, years earlier.
Let's face it, our Josh is a little slow off the mark!!!!
From Pilot/Episode 1 when she brought him coffee!!!
Funny as hell
I shipped these two
The scary thing is Toby is laughing out loud
It's so hard for a man to tell a lady how amazing she looks when she is too busy to hear it.

Yes-her car was bombed.
Season 5 around episode 21 -22.
No, I divined it.
We all wish we had a crew like Charlie Josh Danny and Toby.
Nobody cares about Will.
His stuttering “thaa-ank you!” is kinda great though.
Will is great though. He's just the more laid back member of the West Wing Gang.
He’s a member of the National Guard-show some respect
I feel a little bit of love for Will for having to 'replace' Sam and be a NERD-nerd... always have.
The new kid is always hated. And who has never been the new kid?
Will is cool stop hating
And still took so much time to get together 🙄
Not Sorkin's fault. The new writers took it in a different direction. But it worked out in the end.

It's the boys I miss. There's not one of those characters I don't love.
Hi, can anyone tell me which episode this is?
😢
Episode?
Season 4, Episode 15 - Inauguration, Part 2: Over There
What episode/season?
Season 4 "inauguration part 2"
Nothing looks amazing in 480p.
I LOVE this scene...but, does anyone else find Donna’s truly odd hair style distracting??!! Who was behind the idea for THAT disaster?
I thought it was very pretty
@@downhomesunset me too, Josh was right
Calm down Rue Paul!
She's amazeballs!!!
she wasn't fully ready to go and hadn't yet brushed her curls out before being interrupted with snowballs
