There is an episode in the second to last season where the president (Martin Sheen) is going at it with his chief of staff (John Spencer) about a terrorist attack in the middle east and how the United States should respond. The president wants to to bring the leaders from the opposing factions together and try and find peace- the COS wants to retaliate. At that moment they are screaming at each other and the presidents says, "How does it end". John Spencer screams back at him, "We don't always know how it ends".
I was sitting in my relatively dark living room watching this scene and was so caught up in it that I honestly forgot where I was and what was going on. Maybe the single greatest piece of acting by two actors I have ever witness. It locked down my belief this was the best show ever and is still is today.
