I mean you don't have to spoiler stuff in a show's designated thread, right?

This past ep was by far the worst. Who cares about some gun reform law. Did not progress the story line at all. We need more terrorist hunting.

I think they are looking long term (maybe optimistic) for the show as more of a political drama. I guess they assume that the terrorist thing can only go on for so long. And if they only dedicate 10-15 minutes of the show to it, they can stretch it out a bit.

The change in show runner has really led to a rushed wrap up of the terrorist story line. Guessing we are going to be given an anti-trump president as the main thrust.

Yeah idk where it's going with the terrorist stuff but doesn't seem like it's finished really. "how will the divisive gun control vote go" was the most boring thing ever

Why is it when I click on popups when I search on Google I get malware but when this guy does it he uncovers a government conspiracy? So rigged

Lol'd at the very shoe-horned product placement for the Ford you can start with an app

Spoiler:
Then she didn't use the app at the end when it might actually have been useful!

I did lol at this.

I thought someone else had started it and was about to run them over and then... nope... just a Ford promo.

And the mole is such a minor character that I don't remember if we've seen him before or not (suspect we have, but whatever).

I had to look it up to find out that he's a homeland security adviser who appeared in three episodes before the last one.

Remember when Nina Myers was revealed as a traitor in 24 or when we first found out that Big P***y was working with the FBI in the Sopranos? That was awesome TV. Unfortunately, Designated Survivor does it like 90% of shows that feel the need to have a mole but don't know how to do it. So it's always either super obvious or a character so minor that nobody cared about him before.

I really enjoyed this show for at least the first half of the season but now feel like it would have been way more interesting if they had compressed the season into maybe 16 episodes.

wow, this show is bull****.

ridiculous how network tv refuses to make good shows because they think people are too stupid/easily offended

LOL on a cargo ship. Needlessly elaborate.

Well, that was okay.

It was pretty bad, but I watched the whole thing, so maybe I just love Keifer.

Are people expecting it to get renewed?

Just turned into pure schlock the way they went through catching and killing bad guys are the long hiatus.

Relegated Kimble to a boring post. Mostly dropped the wife. No Aaron and Emily connection.

Have no idea what this show wants to be. Lots of material in the conspiracy stuff. Lots in the rebuilding the government. We get both done half ass and a west wing style shining city on a hill speech to end the season. Bleh.

Welp, according to wiki that "main baddie escapes to foreign lands with pentagon super hack" cliffhanger was indeed the end of the season, and it was renewed for season 2 last week.

At least in this episode was a Jack Bauer "We don't have much time!" or similar

I like how lozano was just out in broad daylight, walking around the pentagon where he worked for two years.

Don't we have facial recognition? How did he get off property? They check you on the way out I assume.

The worst of that was he was swiping his card. I'm sure in a place like the pentagon, that's not like a room key swipe in a hotel. It would register the person in some central database.

Pretty easy to find him from there.
