WEST WING - 1/6 **Spoiler**

[dr.strangelove]

What a great episode. In case you missed it, the episode was written and directed by Bradford Whitely, the actor who plays Josh.

There was a great scene with Martin Sheen and Stockard Channing where she has to help him on with his pants. It was very well done. I am going to miss these two actors playing these roles. They have only had a few scenes together during the life of the series, but they have been great.

Donna took a job with the Russell campaign. Josh quit the White House and Santos (Jimmie Smits) announced his campaign with Josh on the side.

There was a great debate on gay marriage and CJ responded to accusations that she was gay.

This was one of the better episodes I have scene recently.

1. There's been a lot going on this year!

But let's face it -- with an election coming up with a lame-duck president, the show is all about change now. They tried to add a little intrigue in the last election but we all knew that Bartlett was going to be re-elected, even with the MS disclosure. This time, we really don't know what is going to happen and there are personnel changes and all. I always loved the show and watch the reruns almost daily but I do agree that it's getting better.

And I think you mean Bradley Whitford. He's quite talented, isn't he? Once I got to "know" him on The West Wing, I recognize him in all kinds of movies that he made before, such as "Philadelphia." He's been around for quite awhile! I think his wife, Jane Kaczmarek of "Malcolm in the Middle," is great, too.

3. Man, I missed it.

I've downloaded it, but when it plays in Windows Media Player I get a missing codec error and no audio. I think I might be missing an AC3 codec but I'm not sure.

Any codec wizards out there that could point me to whatever I'm missing??

I'd really like to watch this episode. Sheen has been spectacular as the degenerating president.
