The West Wing - S2 E15 - Ellie

The President (Martin Sheen) wings back from a Tokyo trade summit, a firestorm of controversy awaits him when Surgeon General Griffith (Mary Kay Place) hints that marijuana should be decriminalized – but Bartlet is even more incensed over his meek middle daughter Ellie’s (Nina Siemaszko) public assurances that her father would never fire Griffith. When he confronts Ellie, the President gets a sobering reality check about their relationship. Elsewhere: Toby (Richard Schiff) floats an idea of putting a controversial Senator on a special commission to study social security reform and encounters resistance to the notion of raising the retirement age; Sam (Rob Lowe) tries to head off the misleading story that the White House refused to screen an incendiary new film promoted by a savvy movie producer.

Pausing. Say when. So you frak from you computer? For the West Wing fraks I sit in front of the TV with my iPad and bluetooth keyboard.

#5

“Russert’s going to do a segment.”

sniffle :frowning:

#10

It occurs to me that West Wing has done this bit over and over… gonna fire someone and ends up not firing them (Spoiler alert)

#11

Aww… :frowning:

Aside from The Big Chill (great movie) I don’t know this actress from anything

#12

Yes indeedy. We’ve seen it at least 3 times already over the first 2 seasons.

Speaking of seasons, the Season 2 gut-wrenching roller-coaster ride starts with the next episode “Somebody’s going to emergency, somebody’s going to jail”. Gotta stock up on Kleenex.

#13

Oy, You’re right. I’lll nee more Kleenex too.

Note that the in Pilot itself Josh was almost fired for his TV comment.

#14

Wow. POTUS has his own clock? Makes sense I guess

#15

Everyone calling her Eleanor is so formal and forced ugh. It’s Ellie dammit :frowning: It’s a small thing but it’s driving me nuts.

#16

First time we saw Toby’s ex wife in that other episiode she had her hair up.
She looks 10x more beautiful with it down.

#17

E Cannibis Unim :stuck_out_tongue: hehehe I’m twelve

#18

I bet it drives Ellie crazy too. But as a parent, yeah I’d call her Eleanor when she was misbehaving

#19

She really does. So much more flattering.

President can be a dick sometimes. A very human character though.
