You're right and I didn't really mean it the way it came out. I especially shouldn't have tried for the same joke twice. Link to comment
Guest November 12, 2017 Share November 12, 2017 Budget crisis and Congressional censure are gone. The shooting stuff has been combined. Vote against 1 with a tiebreaker as well. 1) Jed's MS (ongoing throughout the seasons) 2) Zoey's kidnapping (Season 4, 5) 7) Bartlet's Re-election campaign (Season 3) 10) Rosslyn shooting and Aftermath (Season 1,2) 17) Leo's Addictions and the investigation of those addictions (Seasons 1,3) Link to comment
Bastet November 12, 2017 Share November 12, 2017 Jed's MS - because the specific MS-related stories I like were mostly enumerated separately, so if this is just him having MS, it's about time for it to go off my list Tie-breaker: Zoey's kidnapping (started out great, and then - not) Link to comment

ProudMary November 14, 2017 Share November 14, 2017 (edited) Voting against: Leo's addictions Best to worst: 1. Bartlet's re-election campaign 2. Rosslyn shooting and aftermath. I've actually flip-flopped my #1 & #2 since the last round. Yes, ITSOTG is magnificent but in truth, I was never that crazy about Josh's PTSD story line (although, it gave us Yo Yo Ma!) The re-election campaign is just SO much meatier overall IMO. Edited November 14, 2017 by ProudMary Link to comment

ProudMary November 17, 2017 Share November 17, 2017 Most memorable scenes? For example: Jed gives Charlie the Paul Revere knife. Jed rails at God in Latin at the National Cathedral. Of course, that could end up being the game with the highest number of nominees ever! Link to comment

PeterPirate November 18, 2017 Share November 18, 2017 One game per season, I think. It will take forever just to compile a list for the whole series. Link to comment
ProudMary November 18, 2017 Share November 18, 2017 One per season would be great and probably even necessary for S1-S4 but personally, I'd be hard pressed to find more than a handful in total for S5-S7. Link to comment

rab01 November 21, 2017 Share November 21, 2017 Wow, tough list. Thanks for putting it together. Leo tells Jed he'll lead an army against him Josh meets Joey Lucas. Jed decides not to stay the execution Question about Jed embarrassing Hoynes - is it just the first scene? or is it also the follow-up between them in the oval office? If it's just the cabinet scene, I'd like to vote for it rather than Jed not staying the execution Link to comment
