I had never seen it before. I loved it. Got a couple questions though.

1. What was the event they were all attending at the beginning of season 7?

2. Why didn't the Charlie/Zoey relationship go any further in the storyline?

3. Am I missing something or did the majority of the major characters in the series not really do anything since the end of the show?

4. What was your favorite seen? Mine was when Bartlett said Charlie was gonna come busting through that door to protect me, and he promptly did. Don't know why but that just stuck with me.

1) opening of the Bartlet Library.
2) I suppose it's just a dropped storyline. Could be availability of actors or just choosing other storylines. I don't think there's a real answer.
3) Well, Rob Lowe created a beloved character on Parks & Rec. Elisabeth Moss is one of the two main characters on a small show called Mad Men. Bradley Whitford, Josh Malina, Allison Janney were all regulars last season; Janel Moloney is in the upcoming HBO show The Leftovers. Stockard Channing and Martin Sheen don't have to work and John Spencer is dead. I consider them doing very well.
4) I'd say my favorite scenes are the ending of Two Cathedrals or any scenes between Toby and Bartlet in 17 People.

Martin Sheen did The Departed after west wing ended

Richard Schiff (toby zeigler) was in Man of Steel and i think some iindependent work

Allison Janney (CJ) has a comedy series right now, or had one at one point

Dule Hill (Charlie) has Psych

Etc..im not going any further with that right now

Allison Janney actually has several things in the air right air, including several independent movies, mom, and masters of sex.

Bradley Whitford is one of the main people on Trophy Wife if that is still going.

Janel Maloney got married to a composer, had a kid, and I think has done some Broadway stuff.

Elizabeth Moss- Mad Men and Top of the Lake just to name two.

Dule Hill- Psych as people have mentioned.

Also, you might recognize actors such as Connie Britton who have done pretty well for themselves post West Wing.

While it definitely had a time trying to figure out what to do between season 4-7, I loved the final season and thought the ending was pretty spot on. Love the final scene.

My favorites episodes were probably Ways and Means and Galileo.

now i knew about Moss and Hill. Quit watching mad men after season 5. I'll need to pick it back up. I'll catch The Leftovers on Go.

I just thought Janel Moloney was great, thought she would have been in a few things since WW.

so the key here is, I should have looked up the bios on imdb before asking stupid questions.

ending of Two Cathedrals


Two Cathedrals was perhaps the best TV episode of all time on any series ever. Epic.

West Wing. If anything, that series was underrated, even though it won an Emmy every year.

Richard Schiff bitched out his agent, Ari Gold, about wanting more "bad-arse" type roles in action movies, but it hasn't really worked out for him.

Another great one. There really are to many great scenes to have just one favorite.
