arathesanesaid: As far as Abbey goes I think several of the characterizations were off after Sorkin left.

I think you’re right about that.  Abbey went from IMO a pull no punches badass to I dont even know who the hell that woman was.  But I am in the ‘John Wells sucks’ club for what he did to my show.  I would honestly be OK if the last three seasons of the West Wing, except for a small handful of episodes, never happened.

arathesanesaid: I agree with almost everything - your fave characters are mine as well. But I shipped J/D and I’m actually one of the few ppl who liked Amy.

It hurt to hate Amy.  Mary-Louise is one of my favorite actresses and I was stoked when I found out she would be on my favorite show.  Her character was such a shrew and I get hate for saying so but I’ve always had some problems with the way Sorkin handles some portrayal female archetypes for a long time.

Josh/Donna…just no.  I had soooooooo many problems with it.  I loved Cliff and I was a fierce Donna/Cliff shipper.  I thought the entire thing with Josh was incredibly unhealthy and while I liked his character (fangirls made me like him less) I didnt see one ounce of growth in seven years.  It was like Donna gave in because he thought it was finally OK enough to be with her.
