i want to live in a sorkin world

[kaydeefalls]

Random fandom opinion: I like Hoynes. Even when he's being kind of slimy, he's always interesting. And I like him more every episode he's in.

Oh god, I'm just about up to the Simon Donovan episodes, aren't I. Technically, these were the first WW eps I ever saw -- actually, scratch that, "Stirred" (which I just watched, with the Hoynes and the four words why he will remain on the ticket) was the first episode I saw. It was back while I was in Dublin, and one of the flatmate's friends had recently gotten the S3 DVDs, and for some reason I was invited along that night (it was the only time that happened -- my flatmates mostly ignored me). It was a weird place to start, and no one explained much to me, and I could barely get the characters straight -- well, the President, I got, but that was about it. Except I really, really liked CJ, and was totally rooting for the CJ/Simon to happen. And we watched through the end of S3, and, well, we all know how that works out. This actually probably contributed to why I didn't get into WW then -- I had this ONE character I had any interest in, and ONE ship, and then, well, THAT.

All of which is a roundabout way of saying, oh god, I'm not sure I want to watch the few remaining episodes of S3 again. Except of course I do, because I actually know and care about all the other characters too now, and I only have the vaguest memories of any plotlines other than the CJ/Simon arc. But. Gah.

Hoynes is a v. interesting character.

Oh! the Simon arc is brilliant and horrifying and oh! C.J.

After one of your other flistees (I can't remember whom) mentioned the Jed/Leo/Abbey dynamic in season five, you can trace it back to the end of series three.

Jed/Leo/Abbey. I mean, I can totally see where you guys are coming from, I'm just...not quite won over yet. But this may yet change.

Just rewatching the series this time it is an interesting window to watch their dynamic through. I was never quite won over, but I've started thinking of ways to weave canon scenes into an actual explicitly threesome story.

ahhhh i totally cannot watch those episodes even at all. but at least, having watched more WW, i have cj/toby and cj/danny to comfort me through the darkness. still, oh, simon.

Oh, I'm a big CJ/Danny fan, and CJ/Toby as a close second, so it'll be easier this time, I hope. But still. Gah.
