Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it! It all came from hypothetically thinking about what I might write you as non-birthday fic, as I realised a while back that a few of my flist are cautious people, but never get b'day fic ever as a result. Once Colin and Lynda got their hands on the idea, it wouldn't stay hypothetical at all... :-D
And, um, this happened in 1993, and the other must be about 2001 or something, but, yes, one day, we must do the great multi-fandom apocalyptic story, obviously. :lol: (This is the one where Lynda killed a lot of zombies and made the world safe for the editing of newspapers again, eventually. And Kenny was joking about the plane. I think.)
(Also, watching S6, it appears that President Bartlet shares your liking for imagining apocalyptic scenarios, although not ones involving zombies. :-D I will try not to mention S6 any more than that, but it is hard as my brain is like this: 'Who said 'there's a dagger hanging from a thread above my desk?" / "I'd think your security would do something about that..." in Spooks yesterday?' *thinks hard* Harry? It must have been Harry... Oh. Wait. It was TWW, and it was the President. (I am all SPOOKS!!! X just appeared !!!! and TWW, eek, not good and WHAT WHAT Josh, Donna... and Lucas, you are going CRAZY... And aww, Downton Abbey ♥ all over the place. I think I'd better get a life before my head explodes from the sudden, unexpected rush of great TV. :-D)
(That wasn't spoilerish, I don't think.

Pffffft, you are quoting timeline incongruities at me? A mere trifle! We can make up an eight year gap easy. (I am totally taking you seriously on this story, by the way - when I've got a decent way through The West Wing I am going to be firing you questions/ideas from all angles.)
I'm especially excited about series 6 now you mention that! But I have sooooo long to go... US seasons are so long! At the moment I'm nothing but pleased at the prospect of so many unwatched episodes ahead of me, though. Lols at you mixing up canons in your head. :D I seem to be managing to keep them pretty separate, which is unexpected - except for when Spooks explicitly mentions the President, of course.

Yes, but you can have more zombie apocalypses this way... :lol:
Umm... Okay, should not have mentioned that, right. :-D
Well, it's only one bit. I am mostly not getting things confused, but Harry and Jed Bartlet are both in charge and tend to be moral and quote things, so you can see where I could get confused on occasions. However, just watched an ep where the British were warmongering and the US were trying to peacekeep. (This had me raising my eyebrow a lot, but i remembered the WW is an idealistic fantasy on top of everything else, and let it pass. Also, suddenly in this last serious, we seem to have suddenly gained a female PM who owes a lot to Mrs Thatcher. I think they're a tad out of date...). And asked, "And have we had anything from British Intelligence?" I kind of expected Harry to walk in next thing, even though it would really be Jools or someone.
