This episode was OK, and I do like Bartlet's "Or what?", but the angry shouting, while very well acted, is a descent into angry shouting that I don't like. I'm not fond of the scene where they brainstorm till they get an idea - it feels like they spend too long thinking about it, while the West Wing has always been good at showing us how the White House runs on short meetings and quick decisions.
Watching Josh and Donna I felt like I was in some sort of time warp where nothing had happened since season 2. Enough of the UST. I do like the resonance with In the Shadow of Two Gunmen and the Josh/Donna role reversal, but that's about it.
Are you going to post the second episode write-up soon? I'm very interested to hear what people think of that.
