Regarding the West Wing: Like you, I'm not a religious viewer, but I saw the last few episodes of last season. As a Massive Attack fan, I especially liked the use of "Angel" on the soundtrack during the climactic kidnapping sequence at the end of the cliffhanger.
I am concerned about the quality of the show this season now that Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Schlamme are no longer associated with the show. Will the cohesiveness and standards of the show remain as high with the primary visionaries gone? In an interview with Charlie Rose, Sorkin stated he left the show when Warner Bros. decided it wasn't going to put up with cost overruns anymore and hold the show accountable to a stricter schedule for scripts to be presented for shooting. Will the cost cutting impetus undermine the quality of on air storytelling?
