Passing of a friend

This weekend saw the last two episodes of The West Wing, perhaps the greatest TV show ever made.

They were great episodes, the firsst of the finale heavily featuring Danny and CJ much to my delight! A sweeter couple there never was (unless youi count Josh and Donna of course).

I for one would have happily watched the Santos administration, especially with Sam back in the White House and Donna as First Lady’s Chief of Staff. But I can see how it would be better for them to bow out at this logical time, after all – all good things must come to an end. Their was much sobbing from the Mouldy Household to be sure.

On a very plus note, I saw the first trailer I’ve ever seen for Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, The West Wing’s illigitemate child. It piqued my interest even more (as did More4’s annoucment that it was “coming soon”. I doubt that highly as it’s not even out in the US until Septemeber. I guess it depends on your definition of “soon”. More 4 clearly interpret as “not as fas away as 2010”.)

I also saw Stormbreaker – James Bond Lite. Quite fun, although the plot wouldn’t make a lot of sense if you hadn’t read Horowitz’ book in the first place… IMO.
