I still love the entire series, but there is a noticeable difference (which one would expect when the guy who ran ER takes over a show about the White House...) between 1-4 and 5-7.

The only real thing I have a minor quibble with is what they did with Leo after CJ became so popular. They had nothing to do with him, and showed it...he did nothing.

S7 has some redemption in the back half, but Seasons 5-6 are a pretty noticeable dip in quality. And they gut the character of Toby. Just gutted him.

this is what is really bothering me right now, and i know what 7 is about and would love to get to it, but 5 is so bland im just putting on episodes in the background when i clean.

********SPOLIERS*************


and i hated how they handled the zoey bartlet storyline, especially when they recover her. there wasnt any real buildup or explanation when they found her, and the rescue happened within 5 mins of episode time. it was so lame.


*********SPOILERS**************


all the humor seems gone, the wit is missing, and its really dragging everything down. even some of the historical references are pedestrian and not nearly as interesting as 1-4. sorkin may be a coked out ahole, but he can write and is pretty fn smart.
