'West Wing' imitates real life
Last-minute script illuminates recent U.S. devastation
By Frazier Moore AP television writer
NEW YORK — It came with no easy answers.
But Wednesday's The West Wing did the next best thing: In an hour of absorbing drama, it thoughtfully confronted questions and fears the nation is now learning to live with.
Aaron Sorkin, the NBC series' creator-producer, pulled off a remarkable, even unprecedented feat by writing and filming this episode, start to finish, in the three weeks since the Sept. 11 devastation at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Rushed through production yet fully up to West Wing standards, the program took the form of a dramatic dialectic clearly meant to illuminate, not exploit, a real-life tragedy. It displaced the season debut, now set to air Oct. 10, which resumes last season's ongoing story as an embattled Bartlet decides to seek a second term.
Even though the events that inspired this special episode were never addressed, nor when it might have taken place ever specified, viewers found the Bartlet White House gripped in all-too-familiar crisis mode: Word of a security breach has erupted. It's the fifth in three weeks.
Suddenly, the White House was in a lockdown. No one knew what might happen next. And, in an accident of timing, Josh Lyman, deputy chief of staff, was stuck in the White House cafeteria with a group of touring high school students.
"So, why is everybody trying to kill us?" one student asked him, articulating worry any West Wing viewer could relate to.
Intercut with this impromptu seminar was harsh questioning of a suspect — an Arab-American and administration insider — by chief of staff Leo McGarry (John Spencer).
The man, swiftly nabbed and highly suspicious, turned out to be innocent. The real culprit would be in custody by show's end.
No death, no destruction problem solved. But, really, nothing was resolved—just put off for another day.
So what can anyone do about the terrorists around the world?
"You want to get these people?" Lyman (Bradley Whitford) asked the students during the hours-long lockdown. Embrace pluralism, he said.
