WW Fic: Ask a Scientist (it's quantum physics)

[out_there]

Title: Ask a Scientist (it's quantum physics)
Fandom: West Wing
Pairing: Josh/Donna. Sam/Josh overtones.
Rating: G
Summary: There are some things Donna knows; there are others that she doesn't want to admit.
Spoilers: Set vaguely post-S4. Since S5 is a haze of Toby-annoyance and I've only seen halfway through that season, I can't vouch that it agrees with current canon.
Disclaimer: Originally Sorkin's. Certainly not mine.
Notes: Finished as part of the wip_it_good challenge (I just forgot to get it beta'd). Thanks to oxoniensis and celli for support. Thanks to Ben Lee for the title. Huge thanks to meadowlion for tracking down my stray tenses, correcting my comma-usage, and making this story far more readable.

Haven't read the fic, but this caught my attention: Since S5 is a haze of Toby-annoyance and I've only seen halfway through that season,

OMG! You mean I've seen more of WW than you?!?!

OMG! You mean I've seen more of WW than you?!?!

Possibly, because you've seen it on DVD.

I saw S1 and S2 on tape, as you know. I saw S3 and S4 on TV, but followed fairly regularly (as much as that timeslot will allow). Then in S5, there was no Sam, there was no Sorkin writing it, and I spent quite a few episodes wanting to whack Toby over the back of the head with a shovel. Also, I think the timeslot kept shifting slightly (by, like, ten to twenty minutes, which is not good for timed VCR recording) and...

I don't know. I just kept missing it. And I really didn't care that much when I caught it, and somehow, all the seasons post-S2 blur into this "eh, might have seen it but probably don't remember it" haze.

Frankly, all 5 seasons are a big huge blur to me. Mainly due to my watching habbit more than anything. 2 seasons in 3 days type watching, you know me. Heh. But I'm pretty sure I went OMGWTF?!?!?! at the end of season 5.
