"Gibbs" on the West Wing

SerenityValley · January 05, 2009, 06:58:51 AM

So, Bravo shows West Wing reruns at 8 and 9 am. I've been watching them (or DVRing them anyway!) They are up to the season with Mark Harmon as "Special Agent Sunshine". He plays a secret service agent assigned to Press Secretary CJ Creg. I remember watching this when they originally aired (Used to LOVE WW until around 03 when Martin Sheen totally pissed me off!) [spoiler]Anyhow, needless to say she falls for him (who wouldn't!) and of course, he gets killed protecting her.[/spoiler] Murphy's Law being in full effect, my DVR is on the fritz, so I'll miss these eps!!

Yes, I know it's an old show, but I used the spoiler bar anyway, just in case!!

I wish they would have talked about the show.

Pretty cool how he brings some of himself to his character. Shame on Craig for not following up with a question about the boats Gibbs builds on the show!! Neat to learn that he was a QB for the Bruins! And his dad was a fighter pilot! Kewl!

I didn't get the impression Craig watched the show since he didn't have a clue what questions to ask. Yep,
the boat was a lead in but he didn't act like he knew about it. I knew about him being the QB. His sister was
also married to Ricky Nelson. I guess I'm really dating myself here. His father was Tom Harmon one of the
greatest football players out of Michigan and he won the Heisman Trophy and is in the football hall of fame. Yes,
he was a fighter pilot too and received a Purple Heart and Silver Star I believe. He become more famous for
his sports career and I believe was a sports broadcaster.

*le sigh* one of my all-thyme favorite shows. Just missing season 6 on DVD now.

And to nit-pick... [spoiler]Simon was killed when he tried to arrest a robbery suspect while he was buying a rose for CJ. Very sad scene and the end song (Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah") was just poignant.[/spoiler]

I didn't watch WW too often, but I have been watching reruns here and there, and saw that Harmon was on this week. [spoiler]Knowing what happens with his character makes it all portentous and stuff.[/spoiler]

to Tabin:
[spoiler]Anything with Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah" is poignant, isn't it? But then, that's Buckley, whom I just read based his version of Leonard Cohen's song on John Cale's version. There's another sad death. "Last Goodbye" is one of my favorite songs ever.[/spoiler]
