I know you feel that way. I think there is no reason that people who liked the fist four seasons (the Sorkin years) would not like the last two. Well, that is not quite true - the last two seasons lack Sorkin's pace, and they did simplify the narratives and make them more conventional and soap opera-ish. But after the got rid of the dreadful Mid-East Peace plot the 6th season begins an arc that picks up and reinforces core themes and images of the show, and if not the transcendent works of literature that the Sorkin episodes were, they still make for very good television. If you only swooped in half way though season 7 (the run up to the debate) then it might have been hard to see what they were doing. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
