Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: The West Wing: Season 2: The Portland Trip
Most of the senior staff joins Bartlet for a brief trip to Portland; Leo stays behind to deal with a situation in the Gulf.

I *love* how CJ makes fun of Notre Dame, and pays for it.

A good episode, while fun.

Josh is unforigivably inconsiderate of Donna in this episode. Josh decides to have a late-night meeting with a congressman and, without so much as a warning, orders Donna to cancel her evening plans. In other words, if Josh works odd hours, he has no problem demanding that Donna be there with him. This isn't the first time he's done this to her.

The question is: why? During the day, Josh is working a mile a minute. He needs an assistant to field his phone calls, do his research, and handle his schedule. But after normal office hours end, it's a different story. Nobody's hounding him for things & the phone isn't ringing off the hook. In other words, there is no reason that Josh can't handle things by himself. Yet he thinks nothing of trashing Donna's weekends or weeknights on a whim. This is, as I said, rude and inconsiderate.

SOMEONE got their hands on some DVDs!

Yes, Hannah, I did. I've been laid up for a month with back troubles and I've gotten a bunch of WW, E.R., and Sherlock Holmes DVDs from the library. It's interesting to watch a series like this straight through. You see things that, with a week between episodes, you'd never catch.
