Re: Pick one favorite episode from each of your favorite shows
I don't think this is a case of fans really misunderstanding things when it comes to TC though. Your criticism makes perfect sense, but...the fact is, for me, the interestingness of that tension you describe is completely outweighed by the power of the finale. My ability to care about that lost tension is zero. Like, if I had to choose between having either a more focused resolution of the "Bartlet was wrong" tension, or having "Two Cathedrals"...I'd pick "Two Cathedrals" by a mile every time. For me, it's a miniscule, practically infinitesimal, price to pay for an episode like that.
(This reminds me though, of how headachy Sorkin's writing can be sometimes, since it's literally a long string of "Omg look at the shiny! Shiny idea! I wants it!" And a lot of time in The West Wing the shiny idea was so great I didn't give a shit how he got to it, but seriously the dude needed some damn self-control.)
