I may suffer from crisis overload if Kirkman can never catch a break.
Glad he's starting to show more of a backbone, but it's not exactly strategic. Right now he's operating more like Ned Stark than Lyndon Johnson. |

While the dude playing MI governor is doing a great job impersonating Snyder (who I don't doubt for a minute would do something like this) I must say that it's doubtful that the Dearborn police would go along with it. The Dejtroit Free Press has been writing articles about how the show is dissing Dearborn and MI but most folks around these parts don't care what the Free Press has to say. Dearborn doesn't have an airport either and it's not like Detroit Metro is that far so I don't know what creative purpose that served.

Each episode is getting better and better, in my opinion. I'm still on board even though it's pretty much all politics. I was hoping for more action like the intro.

How's it doing in the ratings? It's not scientific, but generally only 5 posts on here is not a great sign. |

Is there a writer for the show that is a Notre Dame Grad? This show is really emphasizing that Michigan Sucks!

Same here--really liking it, even more than I expected.

I agree it's getting better. The pilot was the weakest episode IMHO. Glad the general was sacked this week and we were spared any teen drama.

I assume Mykelti Williamson's part will be much larger now. Seemed like a waste to have him there for like 2 lines.

Solid episode this week. It's getting better each week.
Liked seeing Tom have some backbone with him firing that asshole General and then arresting the Michigan Governor. Seems like the writers are scrapping that potential coup plot with the General that was sort of teased in the Pilot. With Tom firing him, he's completely out of the mix. As ^^^ said, seems like Mykelti Williamson's role will get expanded. Although there's still people in the government who want to see him fail like Madsen's character. And I was surprised to see Hannah ready to quit after running into dead ends in the investigation. |

I'm still watching as well.
Kiefer doing a lot of heavy lifting in the early stages as they try to get some of the kinks worked out. I want to see them unleash Maggie Q, severely unused so far. I liked the couple of twists with the governor and the general getting axed. But more action is definitely welcomed |
Re: Designated Survivor (S1E04) -- "The Enemy" -- 10/12/16
Still watching as well, just struggling to keep up with everything.
Glad the general was fired. Not keen on arresting the governor. The operative seemed cool. Too bad he died. Shady congressman - will be interesting to see where this anonymous tip goes. Secret exit room number? |
