Designated Survivor...
So "SEAL Team 6" flies from Little Creek, to northern Mali to infiltrate Algeria and back. Jet lag must not be a thing in this world.

Just one example of the suspension of reality required for this show...still watching, wife likes it.

It doesn't bother you that the ONLY two Republicans on the show are portrayed as evil schemers?


I'm not even seeing political party bs it's playing out as DC politics in general which are pathetic and disgusting and I like Sutherlands character and how he has acted thus far. Both parties are decimated at this point and real character is surfacing from everyone involved it's given a breathe of fresh air to the government IMO. We will have to wait and see how it plays out but I like it so far.

No epi this week (CMA Awards). See you on the 9th (some of you)...

e06: The Interrogation
Shots are fired at the White House during a Governors Summit; President Kirkman must regroup after his plans for electing a new Congress are thrown into turmoil; Agent Wells makes a shocking discovery while investigating the Capitol bombing.

I guess I hadn't known Kirkman was a registered Independent. For some reason I thought he was a Dem.

Of course I'm really wondering how the election upset will affect future writes. Not sure how far ahead they write these episodes. Well he's already got the Congress, much like our P.E.

... and cue the Syrian refugee issue in last night's episode and paint anyone who would actually attempt to vet immigrants before entering as cold blooded and heartless. I'm done.

Sooooo....you are still letting people in even though you don't know the full extent of the threat...?

Should closed the borders sooner. Or would that have panicked the citizens?

Exactly right. I ended my watching of this lefty propaganda show after the attack on the White House dinner, which, of course, was done with an AR-15.

Oh come on, if you're an insignificant terrorist sympathizer and you want to rattle off some probably useless shots at such a place, the AR is only the most common semi auto in North America. Would you be happier if they used some obscure rifle that no one has heard of?

This show still has some potential I'm not gonna get bent out of shape by such little things.

I am still watching but that was pretty bad. Not only it was an AR-15 but "it has a range of 1800 yards" of which the hidden message was "and anyone can walk into a gun store and buy one". Roll Eyes

I missed that episode and for some reason it's not available on "on demand" but the other 4 are. Mad

Tonight's episode was a lot more international espionagish than political (and therefore politically correctish).

I missed it this week. Did the FBI Director find the balls to tell them about the congressman?

No episode this week. There was a special on the real D.S.

Do you mean this 20/20 segment?

I do not watch DS, but I'd love to see the special on the real DS. It is not listed on the DS page:

Tonight's installment (Episode 8):

quote:
A national emergency forces Kirkman to consider canceling the election to vote for a new House of Representatives; at the same time, he also deals with fallout from a leaked report of Majid Nassar's death.

Re-engaging. Tonight's installment was way more focused than last week's mushy and confusing plotlines. A gotcha moment, a saw-that-coming, and next week teaser (the season finale) ending with a bang. Even possible redemption for the stereotype conniving Republican.

It's getting better by the episode IMO. Last one was excellent.
