A West Wing Special to Benefit When We All Vote (2020)
The Right Way to do a West Wing Reunion
A West Wing reunion is definitely not going to sway any independent or unlikely voters because they're really not the audience of the show, but damn it was still very well done. And like Bradley Whitford said at the top of the show, if it gets on more person to the polls then it's worth it. Or maybe it gets one person who watched to volunteer and they get someone to the polls.
The episode selection was perfect for this election both for the themes in it and the lines delivered. Everyone did well stepping back into their old roles, and in Sterling K. Brown's case- filling in for John Spencer. But it was Richard Schiff who stole the show. It's like he never stopped playing Toby. hid delivery of the most impactful line of the episode could not ring more true in 2020:
Then make this election about smart, and not. Make it about engaged, and not. Qualified, and not. Make it about a heavyweight. You're a heavyweight. And you've been holding me up for too many rounds.

Who Peels Carrots Like That?
Right before they talk about if they should go to England together or not, they show the two sisters cutting food. Stephanie is peeling the carrots like a toddler! It would take someone two hours to peel just one carrot that way.

Best Episode Yet
Wow, this was probably my favorite episode of this series to date. They perfectly used the build up they created last week and cashed in. Gus Fring was re-introduced really well, as were Francesca and Victor. Chuck's plan was really quite masterful and well executed. We got a wonderful callback to Breaking Bad by no other than Kim. The scene where she tells Jimmy to give her a dollar and his reply was a wonderful reference. Really great stuff. By the preview for next week, I believe this is where Jimmy undergoes his transformation, by name at least, to Saul Goodman. We see Mike with a gun. Could he possibly be in the process of putting Hector in his wheelchair? They did a great job building up to the next episode while cashing in on last week's in this episode. It reminded me a lot of Breaking Bad.
