My Body Is But A #the West Wing Memes Temple.

Most of this stuff is gonna be really stupid

I mean, for one thing, they didn’t even have smartphones back when the show was actually on. I dunno. 

We’re a group. We’re a team. From the President and Leo on through, we’re a team. We win together, we lose together. We celebrate, and we mourn together. And defeats are softened, and victories sweetened because we did them together. And if you don’t like this team, then there’s the door.

I remember watching Election Day Part 2 and thinking "this is really, really sad but it's hard not to appreciate this acting" and it took a minute before I realized that they probably weren't acting.

I just finished rewatching Tomorrow. I was thinking about reboot ideas (because I'm really sad and miss the show, lol) and I always liked the idea of Sam Seaborn as president (though a lot of people don't like him nowadays), so here's my little promo idea:

Disclaimer:

This is pretty cheesy

The scene is on the oval office. No one is in there at the moment, but we can hear Josh Lyman's voice. Faint at first, but getting stronger.

"So, that's my proposition, Mr. President" (or something like that)

Then, the camera starts to pan up as Sam Seaborn says:

"Josh, I've known you forever; you can call me Sam"

Then BOOM close-up on Rob Lowe

The camera cuts to Josh, who nods slowly.

"Alright, Mr. President"

Josh walks out of the room as Sam shakes his head, smiling, exasperated.

Cut to a walk-and-talk down a White House hallway with Toby and CJ

CJ says:

"I can't believe he talked us into this"

To which Toby replies:

"I can't believe I'm allowed back in this building"

The two split paths but the camera follows Toby, who runs into Charlie.

"Where are you going?" Charlie asks.

"To see the president" Toby answers.

Cut back to the oval office, where Sam is now talking to Jed Bartlet. They're talking about what Sam should do about something (probably Qumar related, I don't know)

There's a knock on the door and Sam's personal assistant (maybe Ginger or Margaret? I really have no idea yet) walks in.

"Toby Ziegler, sir," (s)he says.

"Send him in," Bartlet says, standing up and walking towards the door.

Toby walks in, greets the former president, and prepares to talk to Sam. Now at the door, Bartlet says to Sam:

"You've got this, kid."

Sam smiles a little to himself as Bartlet leaves.

He turns to Toby and asks:

"What's next?"

Cue the very end of the theme song with the words "The West Wing" (the logo of course) and then under it: "Returning <whenever>"

I know it's cheesy as anything, but I love it. I think a West Wing fan might find it pretty cool as a reboot trailer. I need to find a way to work in Donna and Will and anyone else I missed. Will as the VP might be kinda cool...

I dunno.

know there was something that, meant something that I left behind
