 An Excellent Season February 1, 2006
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This season of the West Wing was just marvelous...if the ending was a bit overdramatic.
Sorkin's work was losing a little steam towards the end, it's true. But the notion of a kidnaping and appropriate required response for a chief executive is not as outlandish as it seems at first blush.
Some said the series pretty much ended with this season. I disagree; there are some great episodes ahead in seasons five and six.
What a shame that it has been canceled!
We'll miss Rob December 30, 2005

I like this one the most but I did not like some remarks about putting the American flag on The kabaa in mecca. I think this is disrespectful to all of the muslims and will even agitate the moderate muslims.

 I'll miss Aaron Sorkin..... December 17, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The last season of totally phenomenal writing. Aaron Sorkin, the lead writer for the show (previously of Sports Night, if I'm not mistaken), is still writing in this season, providing the perfect mix of humor and political savy. I think the remaining seasons after he left become more dry and while still politically relevant, they are much less entertaining because later writing forgets to bring the funny. Aaron, come back to the show! I savor this last season of witty banter and smart thorough analysis of the issues!
Probably my favourite season December 9, 2005

On first viewing, this was my favourite season of the West Wing. Each show had something that kept your interest and held it through the commercial breaks, and that same feeling of "needing" to know what happens next carried between shows as well. True, there are a number of "soap opera" developments in this season: the clash between Charlie and Jean-Paul (Zoey's French boyfriend), Toby's ex-wife's pregnancy, etc. Thankfully they are incorporated into the fabric of the political commentary of the show: Andy's single-Mom pregnancy makes her a target for the Christian Right, and Zoey's choice in a boyfriend leads to the spectacular cliffhanger.
For my money, the Season 4 cliffhanger is the best, even better than the assassination attempt after Season 1. It is spun out over several shows, and the tension builds to an almost unbearable level. The payoff in Season 5 is not up to the challenge, unfortunately, perhaps because of the staff turnover between the two seasons. There are a number of good guest stars, some neat story ideas, and of course, the President's butt-kicking of Sen. Ritchie in the debate and the election. The season is solid or better every single episode.
Unfortunately, this season also bids adieu to Rob Lowe, Aaron Sorkin, and Tommy Schlamme. Rob Lowe's departure is especially problematic in a continuity sense: much as Mandy (the spin doctor) vanishes into thin air between the Season 1 cliffhanger and the Season 2 premier, so too does Sam Seaborn dissappear into the void of Orange County when running for Congress. One episode, he's got Toby and CJ running his campaign, the next show everyone (except Sam) is back in the West Wing with no mention of the outcome of the election. Are we supposed to believe that (a) he won the election in spite of being 10 points down the previous episode or (b) he was not offered his old job at the White House back despite the President's assurance? It is cowardly of Sorkin and Schlamme to leave the question open-ended just because the actor wanted to leave the show.
As usual, there are few extras on this DVD - 3 commentaries, a couple short featurettes, and three deleted scenes (about 5-8 minutes total time on the deleted scenes). Even more annoying is the lack of an episode guide insert in the package - to determine what episodes are on which discs required putting the disc in! Very amateur.
Great show September 10, 2005

Even when the depature of Sorkin from the show made the stories not that atractive the show still wonderful, great acting and interesting stories
