  • Out of context: brilliant episode. In context: rather disappointing.

    "Good"

    If this were any other show I would easily give it a perfect (or very near perfect) score. But it's not, this was the last ever episode of The West Wing. I'm not sure what I expected, except the fact that I thought it would be, I can't think of a better word than simply 'more'. I expected more from this episode and was left rather disappointed.
    I felt too many things were left unexplored, and whilst I understand that this show was about the Bartlett administration I still felt more attention should have been paid to other storylines (although I may be biased as the main reason I watched The West Wing was the character of Joshua Lyman).
    I am going to miss this show but feel somewhat cheated by the finale, I expected a full, emotional 2-hour finale and instead got what I thought was a rather luke-warn, lacklustre 1-hour episode that wasn't anywhere near as powerful as some of the early series finales given by this show (an excellent example being 'Two Cathedrals' the season 2 finale).
    A good episode by any other standard than a final farewell and a good finale by any other standard than what I feel The West Wing has already set.
    Overall rather disappointing within context.moreless

  • A good but sad episode because it's the end. The Bartlet administration arrives to its ends and it's time to remember the best moments of one of the best TV series ever made. Thank you Aaron Sorkin for having created "The West Wing".moreless

    The last episode of "The West Wing". Jed Bartlet and all the workers of the West Wing have to leave their place to the new President and his team.

    A time to remember the serie's greatest moments and to live new ones. I liked to see Jed Bartlet in his office signing the petitions to forgive some people, including Toby. I liked to see his lasts moments with his secretary and with CJ (what a beautiful moment when he tells her "It's been a pleasure Claudia Jean"). I liked to see Leo's daughter again and discover what she wanted to give to the President, a paper napkin in which Leo wrote a long time ago "Bartlet for America" (Bartlet for the World I should say).

    I loved the transitions between the old owners of the West Wing's offices to the new ones and how Charlie, Kate and Will went from the White House planning to go to the cinema. And the way CJ went from the building as well visiting the press room before going out and, of course, the last scene between Jed and Abbie with that phrase "I'm thinking of tomorrow". The pity was that Toby didn't appear but it's good to think Richard Schiff has his last scene on the series with Allison Janney, and like I cmmented in that episode's review, what a scene!moreless

    Sorry to see the end of the show. My favorite ever show on tv. Certainly, the writing lost some of it's edge over the last few seasons, but it also took on a more human character. I was terrified that they would mess this one up, and disappoint lots of fans, but the episode was extremely well crafted. No loose ends were left dangling, yet the potential of the West Wing Universe to continue after the final fade out was maintained. The show has bowed out on a high note, yet there is enough left that the characters could be re-visited in the future. I noticed a couple of goofs; the pardon letter for Toby is missing a few words at the end, and also in the scene where CJ leaves the White house and talks to the man and his daughter, the camera cranes up to show the White house, a man waves at the camera just as he's going out of frame.moreless

    This was an awesome episode of the West Wing. I only picked up on the West Wing in January, so it was towards the end of season 6 i think (I live in Australia and we're a bit behind in the West Wing, so they play double episodes every saturday night) but I am totally addicted (Iv watched seasons 1, 2 and half of four so far)

    But this episode made me so sad the show is over. i think they did an awesome job giving us closure, with all of the old staff saying goodbye to each other and the white house, and santos' new staff moving in. But I still wish they had continued the show, with Santos as POTUS and Josh as COS.

    But, back to the episode, some of my favourite moments:
    - Donna getting her own office, and it was bigger than Josh's
    - Sam and Josh walking back into the white house. Sam: Home sweet home
    - The president feeling 'unemployed'
    - Will and Charlie going to the movies at 2pm, because they had nothing better to do
    - The president finally deciding to pardon Toby
    - Mallory giving the president back his napkin "Bartlet for america"
    - The 2 presidents sitting next to each other in the limo -The oval office makeover - they finally got rid of those stripey sofas
    - Cj's note to Josh - WWLD (What would Leo do). Such a great moment.

    A strong ending for a show that has been so consistently great.moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • If you pause on Toby's pardon letter, you will note two things. First, Toby is given "a full and unconditional pardon." Unlike the real world case involving "Scooter" Libby, this means that Toby not only doesn't serve jail time, but that he also retains all the rights and duties of U.S. Citizenship. Second, as noted elsewhere in this section, there are words missing. It is the year that the inauguration takes place. This is probably intentional on the producers part to prevent the series from being fixed to a specific timeframe. Edit
    • Goof: When Abbey asks the President who thought January would be a good time for an outdoor ceremony, he responds, "Jefferson, Adams, Franklin." The inauguration was moved to January 20 by the Twentieth Amendment, and first held on that date in 1937. From 1789 it had been held on March 4. Edit
    • The copy of the United States Constitution is at least the third gift the Bartlets gave Charlie Young during the series. The other gifts are: A carving knife made by Paul Revere for the Bartlet Family (episode "Shibboleth" (Season 2, Episode 8)). DVD player and two discs (episode "Stirred" (Season 3 Episode 17)). The President gives Charlie this gift because he's impressed by how much Charlie gave to charity. Originally Charlie planned to buy the DVD and a DVD movie with a tax refund, which Charlie didn't get. President Bartlet's recommendation to Georgetown Law School for Charlie (episode "Tomorrow" (Season 7, Episode 22)). Some might not view a recommendation, though, as a gift. Edit

    • Margaret: ...and they've asked that we vacate our parking spots by 2pm. C.J.: Not a problem I walked today. Margaret: Really? C.J.: Yes, I often walk. Margaret: You do? C.J.: Sometimes I walk. I'm going to walk a lot when I get back to California. Margaret: Los Angeles being a pedestrian nirvana Edit
    • (Just after the inauguration, new people are moving to the West Wing and the old ones are leaving.) Charlie: What about see a movie? Will: It's two o'clock in the afternoon. Charlie: You got anything better to do? Kate: No, I guess, we don't. Will: Is there a movie theater around here? Charlie: I have no idea. Edit
    • Debbie: Good morning Mr. President. Bartlet: Morning. Debbie: How are you feeling this morning? Bartlet: Unemployed. Debbie: A lot of that going around the building. Edit

Since the West Wing premiered, the role of the aide, Nancy, has been played by Martin Sheen's real life daughter, Renee Estevez. Edit
