timepiececlockI watched The West Wing tonight for the first time in months.
And all I could think throughout the whole thing (besides random "I still love Josh best!" thoughts) was: WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THE TRANSITIONS, DUDE?
Like, it seemed nearly every other camera cut was deliberately designed to frell with my head. Intercutting multiple conversations _line_ *by* _line_. Having one person walk in a door and a different person walk out another. Very strangley done close ups and cut-aways.
Is every episode like this now 'a days? I've never had to work so hard to follow characters and action visually since.... since I last watched Fooly Cooly. And most of my flist doesn't know what Fooly Cooly is and thus the comparison means nothing, but... I can tell you it's damn confusing visually and hard to track. I need some of those pasted-on glasses Sawyer got in Lost.
And whoever did the camera direction for this episode needs to have someone sit him or her down for a long talk.
