A couple of my fandoms have had exciting reveals this week. First, though the show is long over, I still follow the actors from The West Wing, and there's been a good bit about some of them in entertainment news in the past couple of days. Bradley Whitford is going to play Jake's dad in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Janel Moloney is going to be on ( Read more... )

I'm really enjoying rewatching The West Wing with the Mark Watches community. It's a little weird to see how people respond to certain characters, though - like, I can understand that Josh might rub some people the wrong way, but it is bizarre to see people hate Sam. Sam??! He's, like, the nice, idealistic baby brother! Probably has something ( Read more... )

I am far, far too excited about Mark Watches The West Wing starting today. I seriously can't even tell you, even here in my own den of fannish insanity where I have held forth on the most seemingly trivial of subjects, how excited I've been for this and for how long, for fear that I will be taken for an actual crazy person. I've been stalking WW ( Read more... )

Err, spoilers, I guess, if you've never seen The West Wing. (If you haven't, you totally SHOULD, because it's AMAZING, and it's now streaming on Netflix, so you don't even have to buy the DVDs. Also, it's the next Mark Watches project, starting in March, so it's the perfect opportunity to hop on the Awesome Train.)

I don't know how many of you TWW ( Read more... )

My icon is not a response to anything. Just a word that begins and ends with "W". Here's another interesting (well, to me, anyway) meme.

How to play: Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter in your journal, including an explanation what the word means to you and why, and then pass out ( Read more... )

That was a really difficult West Wing, and next week will be worse. Leo ... gah.

"Thanks, boss." - Best. Closing. Ever.

I've been way negligent about online matters lately. Not sure why - I've been on as much as usual, I think. But I haven't been consumed by the desire to post or comment nearly as much lately. I do have about half a dozen movies whose reviews are trapped in draft form somewhere in a locked post, but it's seeming too late to talk about them.

Okay, I was totally excited to find out about the Josh/Donna smoochage on the next new West Wing, but I've been squealing about THIS for quite a few minutes.

Sam. Ainsley. Hoynes. Amy.

Could it be? Dare I hope for Sam/Ainsley goodness? *looks lovingly at icon* I probably shouldn't dare hope for any actual romance, but as long as there's ( Read more... )

OMG! West Wing was awesome! I love John Goodman, but I don't like the acting pres. He's just too . . . Republican. :p But I loved Walken's line about "in case you hadn't noticed, I'm a few prime rib dinners away from sudden cardiac arrest." I also loved CJ giving Danny the heads up about the Sharif story and telling him to post it early. The ( Read more... )

I was up half the night watching the Emmys' telecast, during which "West Wing" took home the Best Drama Series award for the fourth year in a row (undefeated!). I cracked up when Gary Shandling talked about Dave Letterman having a baby. Something I appreciate about Letterman is that his private life is actually private ( Read more... )
