Please continue your TWW talk here!
I moved a couple of the popular game threads over to the Rec Room.

[HungryHippo2004]

Aw no it's finally gone :(

This'll be a busy board I'm sure!

[rkolker]

I guess it's really over...well except for that made for TV movie Aaron is going to write :)

[crqcici]

I've got to say I was shocked to finally see it PH'ed. We'll have to find a way to reconcile all threads in here, and I know that no matter what ship or character you prefered, we can all agree that this was an exceptional show. Thanks to TWoP for making it even better by bringing on the debate, TWW deserves and has had the best fans, lets keep it that way!

Some Emmy nominations require further review

I'm not among those baffled by the nomination of "The West Wing" as best drama in its final season. It deserved the honor, concluding with a must-see campaign season that will get more attention on DVD than it did with Nielsen this season.

More baffling to me was the absence of Bradley Whitford, who as campaign director Josh Lyman deserved a best actor or best supporting actor nomination. His cast mates, Martin Sheen and Alan Alda, earned their nominations, but this was Whitford's season.

I'm hoping for a win for both Sheen and Alda. One being the old-timer and the other the newcomer -- would be a great way to honor the exceptional acting in the show.

"The West Wing" as best drama ... of course!

What?!? Noooo.... Our forum...its finally gone...I knew this day would come. I just tried to deny it. All those posts...I'm afraid that I might be mourning this loss more than the actual show's ending.

Now that the forum has disappeared, I have to confront the terrible truth that its really over.

Well, to say something on topic, I'll pretend this is my beloved Fan Fiction thread and ask: Jen? Any new updates? I need some fluff.

Also, I hope Martin Sheen wins the Emmy for his work on all seven seasons, but I personally don't understand why Alan Alda keeps getting nominated. He was a good Vinick, but he was really a minor player, and I feel like his nomination is more name-recognition and "hey, Alda's a good actor" than anything. The look Bradley Whitford gave when Annabeth said Leo was dead knocked my socks off. He deserves an Emmy for that look alone. But alas, the Emmys always disappoint and confuse me.

The Emmy tapes are quite good selections overall. How Institutional Memory didn't get picked over Undecideds is beyond me, and I might have gone for Transition over Requiem too, but other than that I'd say that they did a good job.

The following are the submission tapes for this year's Emmys:

Martin Sheen (Best Actor Drama):
"Tomorrow"

Allison Janney (Best Actress Drama):
"Institutional Memory"

Alan Alda (Best Supp. Actor Drama):
"Two Weeks Out" & "The Last Hurrah"

Series:
"Here Today" & "Undecideds"
"The Cold" & "Tomorrow"
"Election Day Pt. 2" & "Requiem"

Those are the Emmy submissions for anyone who missed them.

Well I guess denial is no longer the river in Egypt. Daymn, that was fast - WW was in usual spot this am. Just a question -- is any of the stuff from the sub-threads archived anywhere? (The FF subthread had some good links).

Nice to see BW doing something OTHER than S60. Any casting news or any news on JaMo?

And yes, Jen, we are patiently waiting for more "Ramblings from an Insane and Desperate Man". Patiently I tell you

[candidata]

Oh no ... how can thay do this....

Right here.

I was an occasional viewer who got hooked back into the show because of the dvds. I just started watching Season 6--saw the first Jimmy Smits episode last night-- and was wondering if anyone knows when Season 7 will be out on dvd.

[Alan Swann]

Region 2 version is due out in September... I haven't seen a U.S./Region 1 release date.

Ever stand in a parking lot, turning slowly in circles, sure that you left your car right here, but it isn't there? That's how I felt today: stuck in meetings all morning, poke my head in at TWoP on a break... and we're PHed. Sigh. Time for y'all to join us in the Studio 60 thread!

[mjforty]

But you can't talk about the West Wing in the Studio 60s threads. Besides, there are people who are trying not to be spoiled for the premiere and I understand the script for the pilot has been out for weeks if not months. Yes, I know there are spoiler bars around things but there's a lot that can be picked up by the stuff people don't spoil. My infamous example is the poster who started a thread entitled "Did you hear what happens to Mrs. Landingham?" two months before 18th and Potomac aired. Didn't take a genius to figure out that Mrs. Landingham was going to die.

So we got moved over here. Nice and shiny new territory!
I work in a call center. We had a bomb threat today. The supervisors were going around saying "If you are NOT on a call, log off the phones and evacuate the building and parking lot." What does that say about people who WERE on a call?
We were evacuated for about an hour, but there was a traffic jam getting OUT of the parking lot as well as coming back in. I suggest that next time we carpool or something. Stupid management!

[mjforty]

Just a note, RedLady. This is a thread to talk about the show. The Meet Market thread is a thing of the past. You can get a warning for your off-topic post.
