It was intelligent, acutely relevant and well acted, yet populated as always mostly by characters on speedspeak with one glib, witty voice, as if Sorkin were a ventriloquist.

I've grown increasingly underwhelmed by the profoundly disappointing third season of The West Wing... I tried to accentuate the positive for as long as I could, but eventually, the show's chronic shortcomings just wore me down.
