Tove's story is brief but sad

Indeed. Darn Oaths.

"My powers of deduction are not to be mocked" Oh lord, I do like President Bartlett

"Does that come with a cape?"

And tights!

Right, the tights!

Lily Tomliin is a hoot anyway

She IS!

I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about her, but she works. 🙂

The character IS odd. But hey 🙂

Quirky.

Charlie just defended CJ's honor. I think I may have a bit of a mancrush on him. Oh dear

LOVE THAT SCENE!

"this is Ms Cregg, she's the White House Press Secretary and Senior Council to the President, and if she wasn't she would still be Ms. Cregg."

Probably the best thing that could happen to that young man at that moment was Charlie giving him a reality check

Yup. That kid has such a range, from happy-go-lucky to seething-powder-keg.

Props to the actor

Not sure what kith/house Charlie would be, but I like him.

I claim this guy for House....hmm....okay, good point.

He couldbe a Seelie Daireann. Little vengeful 😉

I mean, backstory -- cop mom killed on duty, taking care of sister, maintaining honor roll GPA with AP classes... I want to say Gwydion, but it seems almost too easy.

Oh...oh, yes, I can see that.

Oh, you mean like with CJ?

(Not sure you've gotten to that episode.)

Yeah 🙂

where CJ calls him Anal and..well 😉

Yeah, it sort of goes downhill from there. The desk is beautiful.

I've been told Season 5 is when it ,well, I don't want to say jumps the shark

oh ping. Clem is not used to being overwhelmed

Pong!!

Ping

Pong!!

Season 5 starts strong, resolving stuff that happens at the end of season 4. but there are still several solid episodes.

Sorry, that should have been: It does start to decline about halfway through, but there are still several solid episodes.

Ah. Ok. 🙂

Because part of me is tempted to get through season four then cheat and go to that 'many years later' episode at the end of the series

It's not really a "many years later" episode, though...it's about five minutes of "many years later" that kind of creates more questions than it answers.

Don't cheat. The writing may not be quite as strong (and the reality news show following CJ around is a bit of a clunker), but the character development is still primo and well worth it.

Well, I do like the characters so... probably in.

Attaboy.

I mean, give me characters I adore in an average plot over characters I don't feel in an amazing plot any day. Weird as that is

Right.

Now, that says...there are some AGONIZINGLY sad moments. Just...brace yourself. But again...worth it.

ok. I will blame you for the tear stains

ping!

Pong!!

...we could spend about 10 minutes of Brekke undoing her hair, cutting a lock, braiding it, offering it, rebraiding her hair....but it sort of lacks the same spontanaeity. Darn you, Frank, you romantic jerk!

Heh. Well, she picked him.

As planly as you can please? he's a pooka!
