One thing that IRRITATED me greatly was the disappearance of Moira Kelly with no explanation whatsoever. I just find that really sloppy tv. They even gave her a perfect storyline to write her out on and then she just DISAPPEARED with no explanation. Now the same has happened to that journalist that fancied CJ - does he come back?
That happens a few times throughout the show I think, another one I can think of is Ainsley Haines. There was a a big deal made out of getting her a job in the administration and after a few episodes she's never heard of again. Until she popped up in CSI : Miami at least
LEO
Margaret!
MARGARET
Yeah.
LEO
You got that memo?
MARGARET
Any minute now.
LEO
Margaret?
MARGARET
Yeah.
LEO
What the hell are you doing?
MARGARET
Why, I'm typing, Leo.
LEO
Margaret?!
MARGARET
Apparently your response to Donna's perfectly legitimate concern about the White House not supporting OSHA's recommendation regarding Repetitive Stress injuries was to type slower. Donna has organized most of the assistants in the West Wing to do just that.
LEO
Margaret?
MARGARET
Yeah.
LEO
Look at my face, right now.
MARGARET
(starts typing) Okay.
The West Wing's approach to coming and going characters is pretty sharp compared to other series though, let's be fair! LOST, anyone?
Virtually every scene with Margaret and Leo in is a gem His complete lack of patience with her and her ability to turn any situation into something where she can act like a fruitloop!
