Beyond the Roundels

Spoiler free and (hopefully) fun clips and quotes from The West Wing, which I have been watching all week in lieu of being able to do much else. I remembered writing random fic last time this happened. This week there were icons, instead - and this.

(The only spoilers are for knowing which characters are still around in S2 and S4. And I think the Sam/Ainsley clips are funny out of context, certainly the two where she meets the President, so here goes...)

But first a general series fanvid (only goes up to S3 and pretty safe):


( Ainsley muffins and Sam )

And onto more important West Wing related things, now for Josh and Donna...

( Josh and Donna )

Next time I watch a ridiculous amount of the show, I promise some President Bartlet spammage instead. Now I'll remember that I am primarily a Doctor Who fan or something like that...

I wasn’t very well today and spent a lot of it lying about not doing much and watching The West Wing (when I had the energy). And I’ve come to the conclusion (all but 3 eps from the end of S3) that I’m not sure it will ever give me the entertaining trainwreck that would be actual Sam/Ainsley, and, after all the random encounters every six episodes or so, I want the trainwreck. So I wrote this. Half my brain wasn’t working and I know pretty much nothing about Democrats and Republicans, so I made it mostly about muffins. Not that I know much about muffins, either. I’ll write everything I was supposed to be writing and catch up properly when I have a brain again. It may comfort people to know that enforced inactivity also got me to work out an awkward UNIT-related plot point. Or not.

(No spoilers. Except for there being characters called Sam and Ainsley, and that nothing like this has happened so far, sadly. Sorry.)
