western wingnuts
Dec. 1st, 2006 09:56 amTime to return to the library the DVDs of West Wing first season that I've had for the last two weeks.
Watching, in relatively short order, a lot of episodes of a series you hadn't seen before is a different experience from re-watching those of a series you'd gotten week by week when it was first broadcast. In the latter case, you're just revisiting something you already know. In the former, everything is being tossed at you new, at once. I find the crash course a little exhausting at length. It's not the fault of the show, but I stopped before half the season ended.
( praise and carping both here )
