The way John Spencer says "I know" to Ainsley's confession about the op-ed is genius acting.
-
I loved that Tribbey backed Sam up without hesitation.
-
Ainsley’s “Can you be rude to me tomorrow” and the fact that Sam follows up has stuck with me for a long time. It’s stylized but I think it’s an impressive example of mindfully taking accountability while also advocating for herself. It’s an impressive example of conflict resolution through deescalation and connection, and worth emulating.
-
"It's time for both of you to write your book now." That is not a "burn", that is an immolation!
-
Ainsley and Leo had the sweetest relationship. She was a great character.
-
Leo was not exactly kidding when he said that when Sam gets mad he leaves a Sam-shaped hole in the wall.
-
I miss television like this!
-
One of my favourite subplots in The West Wing. Emily Procter was great and really held her own when acting with the main cast.
-
I love that Leo doesn’t hold to op-ed against her. He’s not mad because she was doing her job. He might have done the same thing in her position. Now, he expects her to continue doing her job for her new team.
-
This would have been even better with the Gilbert and Sullivan “He is an Englishman” scene when Ainsley returns to her office greeted by Sam and CJ.
-
John Spencer had a smile to light up the world ❤
-
This show during the Sorkin years was flawless.
-
Ainsley was a terrific addition, though underused. The entire cast was top notch, and Sorkin gave them amazing words and situations.
-
Emily Procter is so great here. She immediately recognizes the privilege of working in the White House outweighed her office in the steam trunk pipe distribution venue.
-
I really missed Ainsley after she was gone from the show.
-
With little umbrellas!
-
The elevated, thoughtful, and intelligent comments found here are testaments to the caliber of West Wing viewers and fans. And, all of you know exactly what I mean . . .
-
Every time I see this, in my head, the second Sam turns around, I hear the glass shatter, and Stone Cold Steve Austin's music start. Cause Sam is going upstairs to whip a man's ass! And rightfully so!
-
Best writers. Best actors. Great show.
-
This version hits a lot differently than the other ones floating around YouTube. There's a lot more gravitas to this one.
