West Wing, Season 2
I finally finished S1 of my West Wing rewatch, and just now while I was eating lunch and folding laundry, I watched Parts 1 and 2 of In the Shadow of Two Gunmen. I always, always forget how awesome that double header is.
I do wish, however, that the early seasons of the West Wing weren't double-sided DvDs. I'm having all kinds of problems with damaged areas, and I'm pretty sure that's the main reason. The damaged areas always seem to be right over the best parts, too. The entire back third of Celestial Navigation was unwatchable, which is arguably the funniest episode in Season 1 -- also featuring Edward James Olmos! I didn't even get to watch his scenes!! On this disc, the entire segment of Bartlet telling Leo "I'm ready" in the flashback, the voiceover of his victory speech, and the first moments of Josh waking up from surgery were all cut out. And I already know the faceoff between Sam and Ainsley in the tease of In This White House is also unwatchable. That's been broken since I bought this set.
*sigh*
But anyway, yeah. Good episode(s). :-)
