Ok, I know when I’ve been pwned and this show has owned me in a big way. I haven’t stopped watching it since I discovered it a few months ago. I think shaw has warned me that I’m close to exceeding my download quota for the month.
I’ve been watching an insane amount of episodes of this show. I started with Season 7 (yes, I’d like to start at the end) and now I’m (slowly) making my way throughout the first through sixth seasons. I haven’t been this obsessed with a show like this since the first three seasons of 24 where I didn’t go to sleep moving through the episodes. I’m really giving the TV set up a run for it’s money.
The show is intelligent. It doesn’t assume that subjects need to be dumbed down to be explained and just keeps the topics and plot lines as complex as they are. How accurate it is? I wouldn’t know, it isn’t like I’ve been to the white house first hand to make an accurate comparison. It just makes for entertaining TV. I like the characters, their complex quirks and flawed personalities. I enjoy the subtle humor that happens when dialog is exchanged as well.
Best quote from the episode that I’m watching while I’m writing this post:
“Nature is to be protected from. Nature like a woman will seduce you with its sights, with its sense, with its touch.. and then it will break your ankle. Also like a woman.”

PS. Don’t blame this show because of the lack of updates on the blog. I’ve just been a horrible blog master.
