West Wing
Can I just say how much I love love LOVE Toby? I know, everyone usually falls for Sam or Josh, but Toby's my guy. I love that he's always full of sarcasm and passionate for his work. Really, it's the snark that gets me because I have a thing for snarky guys (re: Logan Echolls, Dr. Cox, Pacey Witter). However, Toby's different from them because he's always so damn serious that the sarcasm is almost bitter, except it's not. Just... I love him.
And when Andi showed up for that one ep in season 1? I let out a little squee. Oh my god, I HEART them together. I want to zoom through season 2 and 3 (but I will be strong and wait until Christmas break, plus I think I've seen very little of those two seasons) just so I can get to the goodness that is Toby/Andi in season 4. They have this complicated relationship where they love each other, but their busy and intricate professional lives have caused them to butt heads, to drift apart and to lose understanding of each other. It's also the fact that Toby has such a hard time evoking his emotions (Toby on Sam and Laurie to the president: I know it's strange, sir. But I'm feeling a certain big brotherly connection right now. You know, obviously, I'd like that feeling to go away as soon as possible), but you know he loves her even if he can't express it properly.
So after finishing season one this weekend, I ran off to refresh my memory of season 4. I can never forget the "babies come with hats" line because he made me bawl my eyes out, but another good gem:
Andi: I told you I was coming.
Toby: And I told you you couldn't fly.
Andi: And Dr. Salmi said I could fly through the 32nd week, and I thought since he's my doctor, and you're really dumb, I'd join the Congressional delegation and help out Sam. Isn't it great?
Toby: Listen to me. We've got all kinds of atmospheric cabin pressure up here. We're a little late, so the Colonel's put the hammer down in a 747. You've got windshear, downdraft, massive turbulence, not to mention four giant engines burning jet fuel at galactic temperatures. We're standing in a flying death tube!
He turns and sees Donna, Ed and Larry staring.
Toby: No, not the rest of y-you. It's just my family. It's... it's fine.
Bwah. Also, continuing on:
Andi: What do you want me to do, step off?
Toby: Also, you've got twins in there. You're basically a minivan. How are you fitting into a seat?
Andi [to Donna]: Ah-ah! I saw him first girls.
Heh. Seriously, I love him. And them. If anyone has any good Toby or Toby/Andi fanfic recommendations (the latter seems to be really limited), send them my way.
P.S.
GoF in 4 days!!!
