The West Winger

How Angry Are They?

That's the big question: how angry are they? The people who create "The West Wing," about being cancelled? Angry enough to leave us with a Republican President, and then they disappear?

The better Democrat Matt Santos' chances look, the more tension about the outcome. They can't just let him sail through to the election. This week's episode ended with Vinick's apparent revival, and Santos apparently dodging a bullet in the form of a sex scandal. Great line about the French, too. But while next week's ep might be lighter, the scenes from coming episodes promise a shock in two weeks. Is it Leo? Or what?

Just four more episodes before it all ends. Tonight's was set two weeks before the election. Will the rest follow that scenario? Is the shock going to come on election day itself? Let's hope the last episodes are at least as good as Sunday's.
