The West Wing S1E22 -- What Kind of Day Has It Been

The West Wing S1E22 – What Kind of Day Has It Been

President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) prepares for a town hall meeting with college students while the U.S. military races to find a downed American pilot in the Iraqi desert before the Iraqi military captures him. C.J. (Allison Janney) doesn’t relish the notion of misleading the press over rescue preparations. Likewise, Toby (Richard Schiff) tries to ignore updates from the distressed orbiting space shuttle which includes his brother, a payload specialist aboard the craft which cannot close its cargo doors. Meanwhile, a huffing Josh (Bradley Whitford) is dispatched to run down and convince the wayward Vice President (Tim Matheson) to re-think his position on campaign finance reform.

Pressing play…

Good morning! :slight_smile:

Good morning. Eeek, eerie knowing how this ends.

Just looked it up. In 2008, 48% of 18-24 yr olds voted. According to the census bureau, that is.

This ep is so haunting. There’s so much going on and the big stuff hasn’t even happened yet.

Wow, did you catch the space shuttle Toby’s brother is on is the Columbia ? Holy crap!

This storyline with Toby’s brother. It’s heartbreaking when you know what happens in a few seasons.

He never gets to watch that girl’s softball game

“AstroNewts” :slight_smile:

You’re making me sniffly already. :frowning:

Josh. Jogging. He’s clearly not an outdoor person. :smiley:

“…I swear I’ll invade Bagdad.” Ouch

I think im a couole mins ahead of you. The scene with Josh and Hoynes just ended. Shall I pause?

Pause for like 3 min and I think I’ll be in synch with you

Ok. Lemme know when you’re in the Roosevelt Room.

Ok. I’m there now

Resumed :slight_smile:

What a nice father/daughter moment.

Bartlett mocking Sam about the signal. Priceless

That was totally nerdy.

“I though you wanted to hug me” Ha!

“That looks like a hip hop gesture.” :smiley:
