corknut | "I did it."

The West Wing Season 7 came out on DVD last Tuesday! And I got the first copy sold by our local Best Buy! : ) This made me very, very happy. However, the episodes I watched tonight brought my mood down considerably.

I knew it was going to happen. Which kind of made it worse, somehow. It wasn't a nasty shock, which I guess is good, but as soon as Toby walked into CJ's office and Margaret left and CJ shut the door and then skittered around the room babbling on about coffee and campagne... I was like, "Oh, my God. This is it." And it was. And waiting was agony. I was in agony. And then Toby said, "I did it", and the scene ended, and the episode ended, and I switched discs, and then I had to watch the whole thing over again at the beginning of the next ep. But it was worse the first time, I think.

I don't know. I'm depressed.

I never watched the show when it was on TV. I became aware of the show's existance when my Dad started watching it, but I never watched it with him (though I do remember seeing a tiny bit the scene with the cheering Santos crowd, the first scene after the teaser of the first ep of the 7th season, when it was originally aired). But I had only just started watching the first season when the show ended.

When they were walking him out of the building... at the end, I had to hit the 'power' button on the remote really fast, so that I'd see the end of the scene, but wouldn't have to hear the delightfully cheery end-of-episode music.
