God, I love this show so much!
Please put up the clip where Curtis carries the president off the plane
"Leonard, go ahead"
"Stanley"
"Okay"
Once again I've gotta say it - God bless Sorkin and co for making Martin Sheen always forgetting people's names part of the Bartlet character 😂😂😂
I think this was post Sorkin wasn’t it? But either way, continuity scratches something itchy in my brain. Love it.
@@JayhawkJazzy This was post Sorkin, but its something they could've easily dropped without many folks noticing, but they kept it in so I thought I'd give em credit too hahahaha
3:31 a lot of focus on Bartlet's MS becoming more reoccuring.
A question I have looking back is, did he ask the Surgeon General on the summit trip because of her cogent mind for public health policy, or because she was a certified doctor and close personal friend who could help his wife treat his symptoms? Both reasons work.
@@geoffrose9647 Oh, it was absolutely the latter. Policy briefing was just his pretext for having her come along.
Was CJ sniffing around Bartlett's condition there, handing him the papers? I recall Leo telling her to make sure that Bartlett was made to play chess regularly against an expert, to both stimulate and gauge his "executive function". I could see CJ coming up with other quiet "tests".
This wouldn't fly today. Penn & Teller would release the statement saying they didn't *really* burn a flag. But nobody would hear the statement over the roar of *internet memes* showing Bartlett burning a flag.
@@B2Roland It would be a full 72 hour news cycle on Fox and Truth Social.
@@bridgecrossI'd it was done in a republican administration it would be all over CNN and mslsd as well. People just need to complain and fill time.
“Leonard, go ahead”
“Stanley”
“Okay…”
He had her on the plane in case he had an attack
You can always tell the shows that Sorkin was a great writer.
@@kit7605 I'm pretty sure you are right. After he left, the conversations were gone, but they tried to make up for it by "brighter" shots, and more A list celebrities.
@@pympton Brighter shots? All of Season 5 was noticeably darker (literally) than the prior seasons. It's like they ran out of money in the budget for lighting.
@@pympton I'm aware of that. Still don't know what you meant by "brighter" shots.
The high 5 is stupid there.....bit of a miss.
LOVED how Charlie simply mentioned that Penn & Teller did a "Magic Trick" with the Flag as he innocently mentioned they might have burned it or maybe it was indeed a magical illusion!
You know that’s right
@@AdamDMurray "Are you saying it's a magic trick, that they didn't burn the flag?"
"I've heard it both ways"
