Episode 5.10 - The Stormy Present

[Fitzwallace]

I really liked last nights episode. What did everyone else think?

After the last 3 episodes, I think the post-Sorkin era has finally found its rhythm. There was plenty of old-school Staff humor last night, especially Toby singing 'Suicide is Painless' - classic!

They were great scenes with the Ex-Presidents and there was something spooky about that replica Oval Office at the Lassiter Library.

But, where was Will? Has Toby got him locked in the basement? Is that why he was freaked out on Air force One?

Will is now working for the Vice-President in the OEOB, so I guess we might not be seeing so much of him now.

I liked the ep too. I liked seeing Mallory's return and Toby singing.

BTW- Why was Toby keeping away from Bartlet at the start? Was it because of the MS conversation they had?

This episode made me think about what is really happening in the Middle East today.

I too thought that this was a good episode, although not as good as 5.9.

Not sure about the realism of Toby getting hammered on Air Force 1 on the way to a funeral, whilst tasked with the responsibility of writing a eulogy for the president to deliver.

Good development of character for Donna, and the "mind control" bits were right out of a big block of cheese day episode. Reminded me of Sam vs the guy from US space command!
