@kathbigelow: I truly don't know how to get this into a message you can answer [grandma emoji] but, assuming someone else says TWW: FNL and... Mom lol.
my favorite female character: c.j. cregg is my mother, my child, and my moral guide
my favorite male character: toby ziegler
my favorite book/season/etc.: s3 but s4 is almost tied
my favorite episode: 100,000 airplanes or evidence of things not seen
my favorite cast member: janney
my favorite ship: c.j./toby
a character i'd die defending: i feel like people hate amy gardner? i would kill for amy gardner
a character i just can't sympathize with: iiii don't like lord john marbury
a character i grew to love: kate harper if we’re talking like throughout her arc on the show, donna moss in terms of a character i just never really gave a shit about until i rewatched in full last fall for the first time in a decade and genuinely /cared/ about her
my anti-otp: i’ve shouted about this a bit recently in various places to various people and not to be dramatic but season 7 white house chief of staff c.j. cregg settling for danny concannon is truly character assassination levels of absurd. i’m not completely immune to some of their flirting early on and i don’t hate their cat & mouse routine around the shareef stuff in s4, NOR do i begrudge her the comfort fucking after leo dies however!!! the hot dog cart lunch fight in "institutional memory" should have been the END of it and the contrast in emotional heft and stakes between the scene at toby's apartment ("we had it good there for a while") and the scene at danny's ("i want to talk because i like the sound of your voice") is... embarrassing? we don't have TIME to get into the additional contributing mortifying layers of that c.j./toby scene ("it's not a gift, i need a drink"!!!!!) and debora cahn is obviously good @ writing, but yikes i hate it and s7 danny is very awful and c.j. deserved better than having a baby??? with him at age 50??? in california it's just not realistic dot gif.
my favorite female character: very genuinely love bonnie plunkett and the Acting that janney does on this dumb half-hour multicam is at times frankly stunning (and at other times just insane)!
my favorite male character: there aren’t men on this show literally almost at all
my favorite book/season/etc.: watched 6.5 seasons in 2 weeks so i have no idea but i feel like things started to gel around s4?
my favorite episode: uhhhh the one where they drive to canada to get the maple syrup or the one where bonnie talks to dream jesus after alvin dies or the one where bonnie and tammy make amends to their foster mom, i cried at all of those
my favorite cast member: other than the obvious, i love anna faris a lot
my favorite ship: i do like bonnie and adam and i did cry when she gave him the dog and i also did cry when they got married at the bar
a character i'd die defending: i'm not gonna die defending anyone on a cbs chuck lorre sitcom, but i will die defending my right to watch and love the cbs chuck lorre sitcom mom
a character i just can't sympathize with: violet and roscoe are both insufferable
a character i grew to love: jill! you were right!
my anti-otp: christy/nate corddry, anyone/chef rudy, baxter/sara rue just in general being there
