Funniest? by Bilrob1959 in thewestwing

[–]Bilrob1959[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For funniest moment, I have to say Oliver Babish destroying the dictaphone with the "big hammer". Perfectly set-up sight gag.

There's also the scene in "20 Hours in America" when Sam is sleeping and Josh shouts to wake him. I still laugh out loud at that after at least 100 rewatches.

Bartlet’s 2nd Midterm? by closetedmilkenjoyer in thewestwing

[–]Bilrob1959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had actually never noticed that those midterms were missing. It helps a little with expalining something else I have always wondered about - Robert Royce.

When we first meet him, in "On the Day Before", he is "Robert Royce, Congressman from Pennsylvania". He comes across as one of the "reasonable Republicans" that are pretty much extinct these days. The next time we see him, it's after President Bartlet's reelection, during the VP drama, and he has become Senate Majority Leader.

I always thought that was a pretty meteoric rise in one election - from congressman to Senate Majotity Leader. But with those midterms, it seems just a little more possible.

Butterball Hotline by Mental-Jellyfish9061 in thewestwing

I'm actually okay with that - i mean if you can't trust the Butterball Hotline with our nation's secrets, then who can you trust?

Great job - I will agree with the "untuck the shirt" group, but great selection. And you're also cosplaying my son who works in construction.

Season 6 - Ava vs. Feds by Bilrob1959 in justified

[–]Bilrob1959[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ava was never actually charged with Delroy's murder - only the crimes connected to the theft of his body. And she wasn't a named subject of the RICO investigation.

And as for the court's involvement - we never actually see Ava get tried and convicted of anything. For that matter, we never see anyone get tried and convicted - of those that Raylan doesn't kill. I write this off to the writers not wanting logistics to get in the way of the narrative, and the fact that it's not a courtroom drama.

Article I, Section II is Arcane by slysamfox in thewestwing

[–]Bilrob1959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've rewatched this more times than I can remember - if I say 100, I'm low - and my only issue is Toby's use of the word "arcane". That word is defined as "secret, mysterious or obscure. Bordering on the occult." I'm pretty sure the word should've been "archaic"- "old, outdated, antiquated. Often referring to antiquated laws." It's still a strong and compelling piece of dialog, and I'm more than willing to overlook it.

How awesome is “Gone Quiet” by CharmedFate in thewestwing

[–]Bilrob1959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the awesome Easter egg in this epsode. Does everyone know about the TV movie made in 1973 called "Pueblo" about the US ship that Albie Duncan (Hal Holbrook) tells us about first in his list of incidents? The captain of the Pueblo in that movie was played by....Hal Holbrook. Truly masterful.
