Yes, I Know I Haven't Posted in a While, But...

something weird and TV-related just happened to me. I was reading through a TWoP recap of The Amazing Race and Miss Alli mentioned someone being "on her list." A snippet of dialogue from a TV show came to me( "Nothing happens on the list") but I couldn't remember where I heard it. I knew it was a woman, and my first thought was that it was Natalie from Sports Night referring to Dana (or perhaps Dan or Casey). I eventually placed the real reference: it was Donna, referring to Josh in The West Wing episode "Isaac and Ishmael." Both The West Wing and Sports Night are written by Aaron Sorkin. That's the weird thing. I've had the same problem confusing two different actors who sound the same, or two different performances by the same actor, but I've never had that happen with a screenwriter. I suppose it says something about Sorkin as a writer that his voice shines through in such a small piece of dialogue.
