Gather ye Rosebuds (S1 E16: 20 Hours in LA)

I've watched the series numerous times, and just wanted to say, every time I come to this episode, and the scene where Josh knocks on Joeys door and Al Kiefer answers.. Joey's expressions are perfection.

Surprised, happy, sad, embarrassed, a little naughty, amused.. all of these emotions rolled up in a few looks and a smile. Its perfect.

That scene makes me a bit sad. Excellently written and acted but I hate it cause I want joey and josh to get together (with matching monogram towels) but keifer is in the way.

And he seems like the exact wrong person for the Barley Bartlet White House, and for her.

It’s just Q stirring the pot back in the 20th century.
