out_thereThe masses has spoken. By a landslide result, this Donna was preferred by 83% of voters.
Anyway, looking through a few WW pages, and I came across this on the summary of 20 Hours in America (S4, episdoe 2).
Later Mallory drops by to tell Sam how much she liked the speech she knew he had written. When she asks Sam what it was like to "staff the President". he says:
"You know anything about chaos theory?"
"I know it has to do with fractal geometry."
"That's about all I know about it to. But it has to do with there being order, and even --- great beauty in what looks like total chaos. And if we look closely enough at the randomness around us, patterns will start to emerge. . . I've worked here three years and eight months and until you sit in the room all day, you can't comprehend the chaos of the Oval Office. I've got to get back in there. That's where it's happening."
But Mallory can see that he is in no condition to get back in there at the moment so she offers to take him home.
Hee! This amuses the hell out of me. I don't actually remember this bit of dialogue. At all. (Possibly my attention was still focused on that breif short of a sleepy Sam. *leers*) Hence, it amuses the hell out of me that I had Sam reference the chaos theory in Initial Conditions.
I don't know. It's like... major reinforcement of the idea that the fans actually know the characters well enough to spot these things. Or, maybe it's just reassuring that my characterisation isn't too far off. Either way, freaky co-inkydink!
