After about a month of consistent darkness, junk food and no sleep, I emerge with a strange mix of confusion and happiness plastered on my face.
Let me explain this further.
I have just finished watching the 7th and final season of the West Wing and what an absolute pleasure it has been. This TV show created by Aaron Sorkin is considered by myself and I believe many more to be one of the most well acted shows that there has been on TV for a very long time.
Martin Sheen as the president, Richard Schiff as Communications director Toby Ziegler and Allison Janney as Press Secretary/Chief of Staff CJ Cregg amongst others week in and week out display acting skill that if played out on the silver screen would gain each one of them an oscar without too much trouble.
I must admit that been I am Australian I did not fully comprehend many of the storylines but I did get the gist of most and even though I am not particularly political I was still totally submerged in each and every show and character.
It constantly amazed me that the writers continued to have me engaged constantly and sometimes on the edge of my seat with season cliffhangers that made me go out the next day and buy a new season.
Thank you Aaron Sorkin and the rest of your team. It was a pleasure. Its because of people like you that I am slowly becoming a 400 pound weakling.
P.S. Aaron Sorkin, when are you going to bring out something new? I can't wait.

Firstly it's "being" not "been", secondly some punctuation throughout your writing would be helpful, and thirdly.... the West Wing isn't that great.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry anonymous for the punctuation and i will try to improve. With msg and facebook punctuation tends to go out the window but I will work on it. Thank u for bringing it to my attention. Now, after the pleasantness obviously u have not seen The West Wing because if u had u would realise how amazingly good it is. Like the saying says, opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one. Thanks heaps for writing and reading.
