The West Wing – The Complete Fifth Season (DVD, 2005, 6-Disc

Set)

The fifth season opens with US forces successfully rescuing Zoey Bartlet from her abductors. Bartlet takes the presidency back from Acting President Walken, but is forced back into a level of powerlessness. He comes to terms with his actions that led to his daughter’s kidnapping, a new Republican Speaker of the House (Walken has had to resign in order to assume the presidency) who forces Bartlet into several decisions he doesn’t want to make, including the nomination of an unimpressive Democrat, “Bingo Bob” Russell, for Vice President. The conflict with the new Speaker comes to a head in “Shutdown”, when the Speaker tries to force Bartlet into cutting federal spending more than had been agreed to and Bartlet refuses to sign the budget, forcing the federal government into a shutdown. Bartlet regains some of his power, cutting a deal to get a liberal Chief Justice of the United States, and season five ends with a bombing in Gaza leading Bartlet to push for Israeli peace talks and Josh to be closer to Donna after she is critically wounded. The fifth season begins toward the end of Bartlet’s first year of his second term (fifth year overall) in office. By the end of the season, however, over a year has elapsed.
