S5E7-8 - Shutdown

The Worst Wing

Ooh a cliffhanger! Know what communicates that to the audience? Overwrought horribly campy sound effects! We have a ginned up crisis created out of whole cloth by Republican intransigence (surprise!) that is handled by the administration's gumption and willingness to compromise everything they claim to believe in (also surprise!). The chief justice of the supreme court is going gaga as well. This definitely DOES NOT correlate to anything in real life, he says watching three Trump justices tee up the official obliteration of Roe v. Wade. Abby comes back, we have a new guest star for Horny purposes I think, and this is a real shitty time for the show. Music from LCD Soundsystem and Little River Band.
