Ned might seem callous and rude, but just wait'll Don Draper needs a hug. "Opposition Research" is now reviewed.

Allison might seem like a good secretary for Leo, but just wait'll Don Draper... Never mind. "365 Days" is now reviewed.

Out of curiosity, do you get random spikes on old reviews connected to real-world events (e.g., does "Bartlet's Third State of the Union" get an uptick in views during the State of the Union?)

WordPress only gives me data from the time the site went public (March 2017), so I can't speak for previous years. I've noticed some correlation between real-life events and views, although the pattern isn't always consistent. (My "Isaac and Ishmael" review received a spike in readership last September, but has had very little traffic this month.)
The one consistent spike my old reviews get is in connection to the West Wing Weekly recaps - whichever episode Josh and Hrishi are reviewing in a given week, my review of that episode will most definitely get an increase in readership. (My review of "The Benign Prerogative" received a huge two-day spike last month when they reviewed it.)
Judging by recent site activity, it's possible that some other real-life events have influenced site activity. My review of "The Supremes" has been viewed hundreds of times these past few months, perhaps helped by the fact that the real Supreme Court is on everyone's mind. And in the last few days, my most popular review has been "The State Dinner" - maybe influenced by all the news surrounding Hurricane Florence?

Also, I just noticed that last week, my review of "17 People" was linked by an Irish website in an article about a NY Times op-ed from an anonymous White House staffer.
The Internet is weird.

The Irish piece only gave us a couple of hits. An article from a few months back that linked my "Leadership Breakfast" review was more successful - over 70 people clicked over to this site.

Maybe Russell would do better if he didn't have Jimmy Olsen on his campaign staff. "King Corn" is now reviewed.

Figures you'd start 2019 with an episode about an overcrowded Democratic primary...

Hehe. Yeah, I noticed. Sometimes the stars align just right...

It'd be pretty cool if the election episodes were posted November 2020 and you wrapped up the reviews January 2021.
And it now occurs to me all the jokes I made about you finishing up these reviews in time for the 2020 elections back when you started came true!

The schedule may well turn out that way. I've got more free time now than I did last year, which means I could potentially finish Season Six within a few months. But my posting schedule has a tendency to go askew, so who knows what could happen.
Can you imagine that I once estimated that reviewing this show would be a three-year project (i.e. wrapping up the reviews in January 2017)? Yow.

Why would you trust someone to explain the Constitution when he doesn't even know what a yellow light means? "The Wake-Up Call" is now reviewed.

Do you know why Christopher Lloyd is playing Lawrence Lessig, rather than having Lessig play himself (like Penn and Teller did) or creating a fictionalized version of Lessig (like... every character on West Wing)?
