It’s the CJ/Danny “I wouldn’t stop for red lights” moment.

@@mollylea2643 great catch ... it is indeed.

You are correct it is an unusual line, but it does tell us how much Danny loves and cares for CJ. It was great to see in the opening scenes of Season 7 that they did "get it together" and have a child.

Danny was really good but the best irregular character for most people would have to be Lord Marbury. He was one of the great scene stealers in TV history.

@@Elthenar I always wanted to turn off the TV when he (Lord Marbury) came on. (Much like many of the characters seem to want to do.) Which is saying a lot, given that it's West Wing.

@@triciajumonville7741 Everyone has different opinions. The world would be boring if everyone thought the same

Used that very line on the man I eventually married 40 years ago. Should have patented it or something before Aaron Sorkin took it.

nah its nothing compared to "i just want to talk because i like the sound of your voice"

I've used her lines in relationships.

He always looked at her like the world revolved around her, like nothing else matters.

Agreed, CJ was never going to find a guy with her relationship skills. Danny saved her from a lonely life. She puts everything into her work and doesnt really know her self without her work. I've been there and i never want to go back.

Yeah, if one of the most intelligent, powerful, and stunning women in the world were into me, probably that would make me wait a good long time.

That's why she choes him.

That was a great line. 👏🏼

I loved him on 30 Something.

@@robbabcock_ Me too

@@robbabcock_ me too!

He was Poindexter in Revenge of the Nerds.

Timothy Busfield will always be one of my favorite actors ever.

Of course she would NEVER work for Santos. Josh would be her boss.

@@michaelmuldowney8 kinda was before too, but she never took it seriously

@@gabrielabagala Josh was a tier above her on the org chart, but she never worked for him directly, she worked for Toby. And yeah, she never cared too much about the hierarchy!

The press secretary floats all over the hierarchy. Sometimes they are basically subbing in for the President, sometimes they aren’t even in the loop.

Very well said. 👍🏻👏🏻

What made him more awesome is he never let that compromise his job. There was more than once that he came up with something bad for the White House but he didn't set it aside because of how he felt for CJ. He did let CJ know ahead of time a few times, but he never stopped doing his job. Because he loved his job, just as CJ loved hers. I also get why she didn't want to stay at the White House. She had 8 years of fantastic experiences there. Trying to do it under someone else wouldn't be the same, as there would be the ghosts of those who passed on (Leo McGarry, Mrs Lanningham), and the ghosts of those who weren't working there any more. It was time to do something different. And now she had time to do that with Danny.

She is truly one of America's most underappreciated gems. I was so happy when she finally won an academy award last year!

He was hilarious on Studio 60

What about revenge of the nerds? He was great as Poindexter

Studio 60 was sooooo amazing and I will not get over its end. It needed more seasons!!

I'll argue that this worked (and the Donna/Josh worked) because they didn't waste time with a will they or won't they subplot, they put the 'feelers' out there, but left it alone and didn't waste valuable screen time with a romantic subplot that was going to be disruptive to the story... The will they won't they stories are destructive simply because it makes one or both of the characters to appear to be idiots.

Was never a fan of Josh and Donna. She used to irritate the hell out of me.

@@debschwer2236 same.

I just wish that we got Sam and Ainsley!!!

@@briesullivan883 Agreed!! They had such great chemistry!

Lauren Mallon Take heart, you will……

at this age i sincerely doubt it, but i have had some great moments in my life! Thank you for your comment!

Your wistful wish is every bit as beautiful as CJ's voice.

You will, one day.

It’ll happen when you love someone else’s voice with your whole heart.

"Someone should look into that." I just loved Danny's reply.

The show is full of such random stuff with brilliant replies. Writing at its best.

Toby talked to cj earlier in this episode about that so that came to mind to her.

Subtext: Her: If I talk about this, will you care? Him: I care.

I don't understand how you could have a typo on a hand-written document.

"What else?" is probably the most romantic thing you can say.

It's currently on Netflix

@@lynellanderson2647 not in Canada

I picked up the DVD’s so I didn’t have to rely on a streaming service.

The other aspect I find hilarious - Danny opens the door there is CJ and her secret service men. Who must have that total discretion, knowing that CJ and Danny are having sex.

I, too, want to see more of this brilliance.

I would have watched the hell out of that spin off.

ohhh I am. this scene gets me every time without fail

Chief of Staff,yes.

No. Josh was Chief of Staff. Don't remember what CJ was offered.

@@julieenslow5915 I don't either but it was likely a position in the Security Council.

@@julieenslow5915 CJ got Leo's job. Josh, kept his current job. He reported to CJ.

@@sarahswomley2580 That was indeed what happened in the Bartlett white house. But in the Santos white house, Santos reversed that, favoring the man (Josh) who helped bring him to the white house.

it can and does happen....there is no false hope, just hope

This was me and my husband 5 years ago. It does happen.

It's not false hope. This happens every day. It's sad you have no faith. For this, one needs a great deal I'd believing is what you can't see, but you can visualize and alliow the power of the Universe to bring it to you. No

In my experience, the people who are most faithless about this tend to be the ones who need to work on themselves. They're not horrible people, but they're looking too hard for what someone can do for themselves and not what they can do for others.

I liked this storyline because it felt less artificial than how love is often portrayed in shows or movies. Too often, it is shown as this inevitable thing where people know they are soulmates meant for each other the moment they meet, and nothing will stand in their way. That might happen to some people, but many times, it is not that simple. CJ and Danny's relationship took a long time to develop. Many people, especially those who are a bit older, have had painful breakups or difficult relationships that can make them a bit cynical and/or more guarded about opening up to someone. In real life, the words might not be quite as perfect as this scene, but I think the emotions are right on target. You never know at what age you'll meet a person with whom you'll really connect, and you just have to decide not to let it pass by when it happens.

Second to the last episode, Institutional Memory..

Bernie is ideologically closer to Howard Stackhouse than Jeb Bartlet 😉

Bernie gave us “it’s rigged”’. Who else uses that excuse for losing? Think hard.

So glad they did end up together.

She learned to love goldfish - both kinds - so maybe there's hope?

At this point Danny isn't a reporter. He quit.

Yeah, well, he got fatally shot, now didn't he.

I was fit to be tied for years after they killed him off. But ummm seems to have been for a good cause. LOL
