There were flashing blue/red lights as Hannibal walked away. The cops got there, just a bit late.

Ronald Guttman was also in a few episodes of Mad Men. He will forever be his Hunt for Red October character to me, though.

There was apparently a bunch of prank-warring on the set of The West Wing, and I wish I'd been able to witness it all. And I desperately wish that Whitford had actually gotten Malina into the In Memoriam reel, because that would probably be a strong contender for Best Prank Ever.

I've watched West Wing so many times that I can basically just listen to these without watching, because I have the episodes memorized.

This episode still utterly demolishes me every single time I see it. EVERY SINGLE TIME. Toby's monologue is one of the best pieces of acting I have EVER seen, and it is CRIMINAL that he didn't win an Emmy for it.

I don't think it's explicitly spelled out in this episode or any others, but basically Jean-Paul's dealer didn't give him Ecstasy, he gave him GHB. They didn't get fucked up on both, it was just GHB and Jean-Paul didn't know the difference.

It was my birthday yesterday, so seeing Mark react to this episode is like a belated present.

This is one of two episodes I skip when I rewatch The West Wing, and it's the one I skip because it's too hard to watch (The other I skip because it's just bad). I don't have a family history of Alzheimers, thankfully, but the idea of it scares the hell out of me because knowledge is the great passion of my life.

Every prominent castmember on this show has/had superb comic timing, I think that's one of the reasons it holds up well.

Your last paragraph just made me realize that this is a continuation of the theme from the debate - they're going to see you that way, so you're free to do it that way.

The lead Russian diplomat being Ian McShane just makes everything better. And Sam is completely right - you DO have to love a guy who knows onomatopoeia and doesn't know frumpy.

Basically the episode makes no sense, unless we're having a collective glimpse into the future. TIME. WARP.

See my above comment - NH does have open primaries, but the episode still doesn't make a ton of sense in that light. They talk about whatever candidate wins, not party.
