deird1I have finally seen that scene from Two Cathedrals in its proper context.
Hurrah!
It is, in fact, a stellar episode, rather than just a stellar scene.
Hurrah some more!
It is quite weird watching Mrs Landingham being about to die, and her not knowing that it's going to happen, and me not knowing how it's going to happen but still knowing for sure that it will, because, after all, there's only half an episode until that scene, and... please don't die, Mrs Landingham! I love you! ...but on the other hand, she kind of has to, or that scene will never happen...
My favourite characters are CJ and Leo, because they are both terrific. My least favourite character is Sam, because he's idealistic and silly, and far too earnest for me. He's like a political version of Riley.
I absolutely love the Bartletts arguing. They've clearly been arguing for several decades, and are so used to each other's arguments that they keep skipping ahead by ten minutes or so. It's the arguing style of a couple that know each other inside out, and I sit there feeling soppy and romantic even though they're yelling.
Very much The American President in long drawn-out form, just like I expected. I keep noticing similar stuff. I also keep getting Leo's last name wrong - because it's "Leo Solomon from the GDC" that my brain goes to, every time.
I'm pretty certain that Bartlett's a two-term president. I'm sure of it. But, having just finished season two, I have no idea how he's going to manage it...
This is going to be one of those shows I end up fangirling over, isn't it?
