The most beautiful TV Series episode I have never seen... in the usual way, that is.
It made my heart so happy to see not just all of these great actors, but the CHARACTERS too! It was hard for me to get through without John Spencer, but Sterling K. Brown was fantastic. I think I'll re-watch the series this weekend! Thank you Aaron Sorkin, Thomas Schlamme, the cast, and the crew. My heart really is so happy!
A West Wing reunion is definitely not going to sway any independent or unlikely voters because they're really not the audience of the show, but damn it was still very well done. And like Bradley Whitford said at the top of the show, if it gets on more person to the polls then it's worth it. Or maybe it gets one person who watched to volunteer and they get someone to the polls.
The episode selection was perfect for this election both for the themes in it and the lines delivered. Everyone did well stepping back into their old roles, and in Sterling K. Brown's case- filling in for John Spencer. But it was Richard Schiff who stole the show. It's like he never stopped playing Toby. hid delivery of the most impactful line of the episode could not ring more true in 2020:
Then make this election about smart, and not. Make it about engaged, and not. Qualified, and not. Make it about a heavyweight. You're a heavyweight. And you've been holding me up for too many rounds.

West Wing is an all-time favorite of mine. Me and my wife binge watch the entire series once a year. I hope that this recent special has reignited Aaron's creative juices. Bartlett mentions it right in the episode...."Sam, you're going to run for President one day. Don't be scared. You can do it. I believe in you." It's time to bring back The West Wing-President Seaborn edition!!!!!!!! Who concurs???
If only this was reality. It's pretty amazing that the so many of the original cast come together as if no time at all has passed. Sterling K. Brown deftly steps in for the late John Spencer and the rest of the cast inhabit their characters exactly the same way they did 14 years ago. The lack of the original sets in favor minimal sets and no efforts to hide the theater in which they are working works quite well. It all makes me miss it and glad that it's available to stream whenever I need a fix.

- TriviaThis special presentation is based on Season 3 Episode 14 of The West Wing (1999), Hartsfield's Landing (2002). All of the main original cast members, as well as four members of the secondary cast, who appeared in the original version participated, except for the late John Spencer. Spencer's role as Leo McGarry was filled by Sterling K. Brown. The original episode's title is a fictionalized version of two real-life towns in northern New Hampshire (Dixville Notch and Hart's Location) that vote first in the nation, just after midnight, in primary and presidential elections.
- ErroresWhen President Bartlett is talking to the press at ANDREW'S AIR FORCE BASE at night, the words spoken are "and a laquered classic Stanton in boxwood" with the intended meaning that President Bartlett had been given a classic "Stanton Chess Set". Original script failed to correctly spell the word STAUNTON, and this West Wing Special repeats the exact same spelling mistake from the Season Three source material - The West Wing: Hartsfield's Landing (2002).
Every Staunton Chess Set contains a unique style design for each of the chess pieces used to play the game of chess, and was first made available in 1849 by Jaques of London. The journalist Nathaniel Cooke has long been credited with the style design, and he registered his design patent on 1st March 1849. The unique style design is named after the English chess master Howard Staunton (1810-1874), who was generally considered the strongest chess player in the world from 1843 to 1851.
Chess sets are still manufactured in a wide variety of PRE-STAUNTON style designs, often for historical/ornamental reasons rather than practical purposes. In all movies set before 1849, in would be a Factual Mistake for the "Staunton Chess Set" to be used.

C.J. Cregg: It's called poetry, me bucko. Maybe, just maybe, just maybe, those 42 people are teaching us something about ourselves. That freedom is the glory of God, that democracy is its birthright, and that our vote matters.
