saw your post about tww s3e1 bc i follow the west wing tag and tbh i probably have seen that episode maybe 2 times? in all my rewatches i usually just skip to e2. i first watched tww when i was 18 and i think in my brain that episode is just boring (and ive always assumed racist) — is it worthwhile to watch? esp given current context?

In a current context? Maybe? It’s exactly as you probably remember it, but here’s a little summary of the episode.

A back and forth about terrorism to high school students regarding whether or not you kill all of these people or jail them. Explaining that an equivalent to Islamic Extermists is the KKK because of how they read their religious works while giving each of them (Josh, Toby, Sam and CJ) a different chance to speak on terrorism and how to handle it.

The especially racist part is the racial profiling done within the White House because someone has the same name as an alias of a known criminal. They put Leo at the forefront of that story line because he’s been our head champion for equality but also for protecting the president (also helps he’s old and white).

The show ends with the guy being let go with no charges held against him, Leo apologizing for profiling him and explicitly stating that it was profiling because he looked like the enemy.

(Here’s where it’s relevant and it’s like the last five minutes of the show and I basically tell you everything but Stockard Channing is brilliant so) Abby ends their side with the story of Isaac and Ishmael (name of the episode) of how Abraham wanted a kid, had an affair with Hagar for a kid and then his wife Sarah finally became pregnant (yearrsss later) so he banishes Ishmael and Hagar and keeps Isaac as his heir. It’s said then began the split of Islam from Judaism and the hatred (can’t think of a better word atm) of each group. But she makes a point to say that no matter what they both came together to bury their father.

Another note of relevance (and racism): they’re talking about the CIA and spies and a kid asks what do you call it if you live everyday with the idea that wherever you are can just be blown up out of nowhere and Sam replies with Israel

Also it has young Josh Zuckerman (also known as the young guy in Oppenheimer) and it’s worth seeing Josh pretend to hate him because the kid is smart. Also that one guy who was also in Zoey 101 for a couple episodes.

But honestly if you’re in the show for the story then it’s very skippable. I looked more into it and even the actors prefaced the episode saying this is a bit of a play and not at all part of the continuity of the show at large.
