The West Wing

[Beatriz]

I'm sooooooooooooo late to the party and probably nobody will answer but I really don't care.

I finished yesterday this wonderful series and now I feel I need to start watching it again, I don't want to leave my friends at the White House. Apart from being very well written (except a few episodes, but that happens in all series) and acted, if you're not American you learn a lot about how politics work there, that's very interesting.

SPOILERS AHEAD!

My favourite character is CJ no question there, I want to be her, she's a strong woman, funny, a true friend and very good at her job. I also like Toby and Bartlet and Leo (I didn't like him in a few episodes but I like him anyway). I love the relationship between Toby and CJ, and I like that Bartlet sees Claudia Jean (I love when he calls her that) as a daughter, in a good way. I love Mrs Landinham and Debbie!!!

I'm surprised to read that Abby is not very liked, I like her, I think it's the perfect match for Bartlet, she may be a bit annoying sometimes, but I like her, she shapes him as well as he shapes him.

I don't like Will Bailey, much although he improves a bit, and Donna, I found her annoying, although she gets better in later seasons.

As favourite scenes, the ones mentioned:
- Bartlet talking to god in Latin.
- I liked how they tried to force peace between Palestine and Israel.
- Most CJ and Danny's, I love this couple, one of my favourites of all time (Harry and Ruth are there, too) I'm a fan of Gail and every scene she's in it There are a lot of funny scenes between them and I love the scenes at the restaurant, falling of a cliff That reminded me the scene when Bartlet asks Leo to jump of a cliff to be his Chief of Staff and then CJ.
- Of course, I love when CJ goes to see Toby in 'Institutional memory' and then she goes to Danny's. Yes, I'm a shipper.
- Despite I love CJ and Danny, I also loved CJ and Simon, it was so sad when he was killed, and I love the scene when he teaches her to fire, so funny!

One more thing, and I stop, in season 6, when Josh leaves to help Santos with his campain I wasn't very happy, but then I began to like it. It wasn't that bad.

EDITED - I just wanted to add that I loved seeing a lot of familiar faces through all the 7 seasons, a lot of actors that now have a significant role in current series, appeared in this show.
