The West Wing dialogue is fast-paced, full of jargon and archane references. I miss a lot of it the first time through, as I'm sure others do who live and breath this dialogue full-time. Any one who has worked full-time om a political campaign can't help identifying with some of the situations and characters that some up in this series, and re-experiencing the constant pain and occasional joy of such work.

I wish Zoe well, and I suspect her French boyfriend will be exiting the series after they have finished interrogating him.
