Favorite West Wing character? Favorite West Wing scene?
It's tough to pick a favorite character from The West Wing because I really liked so many of the main people. I guess if I was forced to choose, it would be Leo McGarry. Josh and Toby aren't too far behind, but John Spencer was always incredible and I loved Leo.
Favorite scene? It's pretty impossible for me to pick anything other than President Bartlet yelling at God and then cursing him in Latin inside the church in "Two Cathedrals". That's such an incredible few minutes that I actually remember where I was when I watched it live. Honorable mention to Leo and Admiral Fitzwallace in the Situation Room in "We Killed Yamamoto". John Amos knocks it out of the park in that scene: "You're talking to me about international laws? The laws of nature don't even apply here! I've been a soldier for thirty-eight years and I've found an enemy I can kill. He can't cancel Sharif's trip, Leo, you've got to tell him he can't cancel it."

I’m sorry, but I can’t get over Leo’s ‘Watch this.’ at the end of “Two Cathedrals”. Something about that moment hits so much harder than the entirety of Jed’s speech in the church to me.

The President’s monologue in the National Cathedral.
I’ve been there. I’ve been angry at god.
Perfection. Chef’s kiss.

Two Cathedrals goes fucking hard.
Nothing will ever top Bartlet cursing God to hell in Latin during one of the best monologs ever performed

i’m rewatching the west wing again
Two Cathedrals is a fucking masterpiece there’s no other way to describe it
Aaron Sorkin basically wrote a 40 minute play (or symphony)

now the sun (that was my son) has gone to hell (didn’t you hear me shouting for you?) the moon’s riding high (there’s a bad moon rising, we both know it) let me bid you farewell (you get hoynes.) every man has to die (what do you say? bring it on.) but it’s written in starlight (celestial navigation) and every line in your palm (take my hand.) we’re fools to make war (watch this…) on our brothers in arms.
