Crappy Television, Redux
The last couple episodes of Torchwood we've watched have been "downers" - and after getting the second "holy-crap-I-don't-have-that-sort-of-money" bid on the kitchen, and learning that a good friend had to fly back to S. Africa to be with her terminally ill father, "downer" wasn't what we were looking for to distract us for a couple hours this evening.
So we cracked open Season Four of The West Wing.
I continue to be impressed by the show - the acting and writing are so spot-on, that after a many month hiatus, it felt like we only been away a few days.
The line, in Bartlett's speech - "The Streets of Heaven are too crowded with angels" struck me with palpable force. And the fact that it wasn't created for that moment, but "borrowed" does nothing to reduce it's poignancy.
Janinne, our thoughts are with you and your family.
