watching the west wing pilot aka the john spencer masterclass in walking and talking

“Sudden arboreal stop” always gets me 😂

You watch this 2 minute clip and understand why every political/office drama has tried and largely failed to capture the pace and wit of The West Wing. Still the best tv political drama ever

That man was magnificent and it was so sad when he passed away

They made fun of the walk and talk with Sam and Josh walking in the same direction not knowing they were following each other.

And camerawork & directing. That was ONE TAKE.

A masterclass in set design and undefeated in set lighting. they don’t make shows like this anymore.

Now I have to rewatch the entire show. Again.

Our minds rarely had a chance to wonder while this show. Totally 110% captivating. I admit that I would have to rewind during some scene to catch some lines that I would miss. Best show ever!

Delightfully annoyed and on the go for 3.5 minutes. Genius

Nobody walks like Josh (Bradley Whitford). Except maybe Richard Gere and John Wayne. I love a confident stride in a man.
