I too felt the loss of Mr. Spencer and though I have been watching The West Wing since its beginnings I never had the pleasure to meet him. However it is a testament to his talent that I feel as if I had, and that the end of Leo evokes such a poignant response in myself and any other fan of the show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1136652945304941632006-01-07T11:55:00.000-05:002006-01-07T11:55:00.000-05:00I liked your comments about "The West Wing" and th...I liked your comments about "The West Wing" and the passing of John Spencer. I, too, was shocked to hear about his death and have wondered how the show is going to deal with it. I had the last new episode still saved in my DVR and when I finally watched it, I was truly saddened when Spencer was on-screen. He was a great actor, and I'm sure he was a great man as well. I look forward to watching the show no matter how they end up dealing with his absence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1135107737179531562005-12-20T14:42:00.000-05:002005-12-20T14:42:00.000-05:00Good work Alan.So many of your collegaues have won...Good work Alan.<BR/><BR/>So many of your collegaues have wondered how the writers could work around the fact that Leo was (supposedly) in that opening "flash-forward".<BR/><BR/>But as I wondered where he was while originally watching it -- he couldn't have been included without giving away the outcome of the election.<BR/><BR/>Had Santos won, Leo would have been called "Mr. Vice Preasident" and had to have had a secret service contingent.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, VPs rarely attend (perhaps are forbidden?) any functions with a sitting president, so I thought perhaps that did give credence to the fact that Santos won -- because had he lost, one would have assumed McGarry would not has missed the dedication of the libray for his best friend.<BR/><BR/>I enjoy your work -- and this was just another example of its quality.<BR/><BR/>Fred Farrar, Los AngelesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
