Random thoughts while watching The West Wing tonight

Tonight we watched “Dead Irish Writers”, from the middle of season three. A couple of thoughts:

  • I finally realized that the actor playing Lord John Marbury is the same guy (Roger Rees) who plays Robin Colcord on Cheers. That’s hilarious.
  • The long scene where Abbey, CJ, Donna, and guest star Mary-Louise Parker’s Amy sit on the couch and drink wine and talk is simply brilliant - a stand out scene in a series of fantastic scenes.

Such a great show.
