Designated Survivor [ABC] - *Spoilers*

2.09 didn't have enough Mike. I still find it a bit odd how the tone shifts quickly between being quite light to serious/dramatic. This one was a case in point. However, the show's not going to change in that regard and there has to be some syrup in there. 2.10 - I wasn't sure if that was some half arsed critique of religious fundamentalists, or what. Hannah had some good lines. I was spoiled on the ending because I read too much of a paragraph over at the AV Club. That car thing is used far too much. Did Natascha McElhone want to leave? As said above, the scene with Kirkman's reaction was powerful. Lyor trying to conduct the choir was fun. :pac:

Jaysus, that recap...:pac:

Crisis of the week - Cuba. Businessman bit of a dope for using a phone tied to himself. They didn't wallow in the grief too much, tbf - Tim Busfield acting as well as directing. Kirkman did get to do a Liam Neeson speech and 'send in the Marines'. Jack Bauer switch almost flicked at the end. Lior - light relief, as usual.

43 minutes of Emily walking the corridors would be fine by me.

More shouting in the Oval. :pac: :pac:

Emily more in the background this week.
