The real reason.

[tzikeh]

tzikeh: STEPPING DOWN: West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin and director Thomas Schlamme announcing they won't return to NBC's drama after this season, the show's fourth season. No reason given.
Dorinda: Because they're in love. And they're running off together.
tzikeh: Oh god. No doubt the evil PR people wouldn't let them be openly gay.
Terri: Writer-slash!
Dorinda: I hate myself.
lanning chokes
sanj reads up, blinks, shakes head, goes back to work...
tzikeh: Dorinda. You're SO. EVIL.
lanning worships Dorinda
astolat would worship Dorinda, but, being dead, is unable to do so.
Dorinda: I am "IT". In, like, A Wrinkle in Time.

This news item is for real? Ack!

And yes, we must all worship Rindy. She makes me want to bounce my ball, over and over, in perfect rhythm with all the other kids on the street.

Yeah, it's real. Sorkin was saying he might leave back at the beginning of this season. The one I'm really going to miss is Schlamme. I mean, I love Sorkin's style, but, {shrug} I guess we'll see what happens.

*joining in the Dorinda-worship*

The even scarier thing, though, is that Dorinda isn't the first person to think of that. I know two former West Wing slash writers who spent an entire summer trying to figure out whether they were sleeping together. For real.

Jae. Sweety honey baby pussycat.

You have *got* to get out of your fandom more. Lord of the Rings actors? Are color-coding the clothes they wear on their appearances on tv interviews to let the loyal fans know that they are, in fact, gay gay gay and having big gay sex with one another, and the Evil PR People at New Line won't let them tell the world about their Big. Gay. Love. This has been going on for over a year. With an *incredible* amount of variety of "logic".

According to some fans.

Oh, oh, I know. Still, it's somehow more frightening when it's Tommy and the Sork man.

Look! He wore a BLUE SHIRT! That means they went to dinner at Spago last night, had pasta, and talked baby talk at each other all night! In secret!

yeah, and that whole drug rehab thing a smoke-screen, to cover-up Sorkin's mad passionate affair with Tommy, which the head honchos at NBC wouldn't let him go public about... Obviously coke and 'schrooms are CODE for "big gay sex" and "rimming"! I'll have to go back and re-read all those interviews now in context...

Poor babies. They should just move the production office to San Francisco so they can be free, free, free as birds to love in public.
