Day 19: Best President Bartlet-centric Episode
My top five President Bartlet-centric episodes are "Let Bartlet Be Bartlet" (S1), "Two Cathedrals" (S2), "Night Five" (S3), "Game On" (S4), and "Shutdown" (S5).
I love Game On, Shutdown and Let Bartlet Be Bartlet because they all feature the President at the top of his game, shaming his Republican opponents or deciding to stand up for his beliefs. I love Night Five because it makes up for what a jerk he is in the previous episode to Toby, and it's nice to see him deal with his past.
There's no question though, that my favorite episode that focuses on the President is Two Cathedrals. It's one of the best episodes of the show, period, and probably one of the best episodes of any show I've ever seen. The writing and flashbacks and emotional punch are all brilliant, and the President is amazing ranting in Latin and hallucinating with grief, only to follow that up by making the crazy choice to run again. I just love it.
And...an icon!
Thanks for reading. :)
