Re: Spoilers for West Wing Season 2

Ugh, yes. I don't get why they had to kill her off, it was so pointless and ruined a lot of later episodes.

True, but it's not just killing her off that bothers me - not even primarily. My problem is, it completely altered the dynamic of the situation and the plot, and not for the better. It went from a situation where Bartlett had clearly fucked up and was clearly in the wrong, and what's more was dealing with it like an asshole - which I thought was really interesting and really novel for Sorkin and had a lot of room to work - and it just completely eliminated it in the least satisfactory way.

Suddenly Bartlett's the victim again and Bartlett can be self-righteous again and it's boring and it's dumb and it's cowardly. No need for any character development. No need to toy with the idea that sometimes Bartlett isn't perfect. No, instead of playing out any of those through lines and resolving them in a remotely satisfactory way, we'll just kill Mrs Landingham.
