Seriously, I am almost to the point that I am hoping that this will be the last season. 'Cause they're killing these characters. And the things I've seen in the spoilers: :boohoo:
No continuity. None. And just random crap thrown in here and there that apparently we're supposed to accept with no reason. Gah.
Small spoiler here (really not much)...
How did we not know for the last 5 years that Josh was diabetic? It's this kind of crap that just drives me nuts!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Aaaaaaaaaaargh.

AJ, you're scaring me. You're making Season 6 sound completely awful from your comments. What you said about Josh here in the Rants is so awful. Maybe that should be put in the "Top Ten Ways Josh Can Screw Up Next Season" that is going on in the games section right now.
Maybe we should make the next top ten the "Top Ten Ways John Wells Has Screwed Up The West Wing." Followed shortly thereafter by, the "Top Ten Ways John Wells Will Screw Up Season Six".

I saw that one too - this is from the quip that CJ made  I think we need to see it in context because the way I read it (and hoped against hope) was that it was CJ just being a smart ass Because quite frankly if Josh is a diabetic I seriously am gonna stop watching

Sorry. I should probably point out that I'm the Voice of Doom on this board. I'm much harsher about the show. And I give very little credit. I used to complain about Aaron as well. Now, I'm afraid Wells is my karmic payback. Gah.
I'm sure you will enjoy Season Six. Everybody seemed to like Season Five more than I did. (I'm just never happy.)
And Peach - I've seen too many of Wells' plots to think it could be a joke. Plus, the stage direction before that exchange makes it seem real. I'm just waiting for Marine One to cut off Leo's arm and then fall on him five episodes later. Then Josh can go out and yell at a different monument this time, but being seen as a threat a military tank will run him over. Making plenty of room for all the new characters that Wells loves so much.
Uh, sorry. Apparently the snark needs out of my system.

Oh AJ scarily I think the highlight of this season for me will be your acidic, Wells-hating comments 
I'm going to be the optimist on the diabetic thing but the one you put in your PM to me has me really concerned - as you will see in my reply

So, this has probably already been discussed but I've been thinking and it's best to just follow the process through! I was watching 25 tonight and wondered...do you think John Wells even realised how completely and utterly stupid it was to have Toby be the one who totally betrayed the President when in 25 he was the one who said 'There's no-one in this room who wouldn't rather die than let you down, you know"
Stoopid, stoopid, stoopid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
....and breathe!

CC - Did you watch the commentary for that episode? 'Cause Aaron says pretty clearly that the whole kidnapping Wells did was wrong. I think Aaron said "They should listen to Nancy [McNally]. Why aren't they listening to Nancy. Everybody should listen to Nancy."
And as Richard said, there's no way in ten million years that Toby would have been the leak. It was petty payback at Richard for other things he's said about the lack of quality of the show. At least that's the way it appears to me.
Oh - and just because I thought it was funny... when I saw the updated thread title on the main page I thought to myself, "hmm... that sounds like a thread title I would come up with" and then it was. ![[image]](http://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/emoticons/chairfall.gif)

Can I just add my name to the list of those who can't stand what John Wells has done to this show? These are not the same characters. The actors don't seem as happy as they once were. And they messed with my Richard/Toby. That's a no-no.

Toby: I agree with Josh and I agree with C.J. and I agree with Sam. And you know how that makes me crazy...

No, they didn't. It was a joke thing going on between CJ and Josh. But when the spoilers came out (that was last season, I think) we didn't get the before thing that made it obviously a joke. So I was pretty ticked off there for a bit. For once, Wells didn't screw it up though.
