The West Wing: CJ and Danny
The West Wing still rocks without Leo McGarry, who is still strangely present within the credits. Not that I want to be nitpicky about things, but they seem to be very happy pulling people like Kristin Chenoweth and Dule Hill in and out of those things for every episode that they're not in, so John Spencer's inclusion is just a little exceptional.
We're all definitely missing Aaron Sorkin's writing desperately. The nice talk between CJ/D was sweet, but the cliche was a little overdone, and somehow... Sorkin would have made it better.
Danny - I don't even know whether I want to be a reporter anymore. Doug Westin's libido broke the camel's back. CJ - Then what do you want to do? Danny - I don't know. Can I ask you something? CJ - Yeah. Danny - Why'd you come here tonight? CJ - 'Cause you... made me promise to. Danny - Why'd you come. CJ - I wanted to see you. Danny - (smiles, clears the plates on the table for the server to remove) CJ - You're gonna do a magic trick? DJ - Uh... no... uh... I... uh... I'm ... flying a little blind here. I'm halfway through my life, and I'm never sure if I'm doing anything right, till I'm completely done doing it wrong... CJ - Work with it... Danny - ... so this... so this may not come out right? CJ - I forgive you. Danny - Incrementalism is not an option. Forced into a heroic posture. CJ - Heroic can be good. Danny - That's funny. CJ - You can do it. Danny - Ah... We're both about to fall off a cliff. And I don't know what I'm gonna do with the rest of my life, except... I know what I don't wanna do. And on Inauguration Day, you're going to be released from that glorious prison on Pennsylvania Avenue with... CJ - No human skills? Danny - Seems to me? CJ - I should punch you in the face. Danny - (laughs) See, that's what I'm talking about! CJ - Yeah, well, keep going. (smiles) Danny - So, if I'm going to jump off a cliff, and you're going to be pushed off the cliff... why don't we hold hands on the way down?
