Designated Survivor is great and enjoyable because of the people involved in it... but also increasingly predictable. They have this structure of:

  • "Kirkman is dealing with this situation today"
  • "Situation goes terribly bad, there's a dilemma, decisions to be made"
  • "Kirkman saves the day"
  • And meanwhile, "Agent Wells investigates"

I like the show because I love to see Kiefer Sutherland and the supporting cast has been wonderful as well, and it's been a "feel good" show, really - even when the outcome of Kirkman's problems is not that great, there is still a positive message being shared. And what can I say about Lyor's scenes, always on point. However, I fear that without innovation the show doesn't have much of a future, especially with the investigation stuff not being that interesting. We'll see what happens.

Good episode... given the episode title, I couldn't help but note Star Trek references, or maybe references to sci-fi in general given that the episode was about the ISS. And as a Trekker, I loved it. A more subtle one I picked up on was between Moss and Kirkman, with the reference to the presidential chair. Usually they reference the office. I've never heard of the chair referenced like that. But you know what show does do that? Star Trek. So basically Moss compared the presidency to the captaincy. And I'm okay with this. (I might be reaching a little. I'm okay with that, too.)

That being said, there was a lot of predictability as the top comment says, so it wasn't great.

God, I really miss the REAL "24", and seeing Jack and Audrey together again on screen brings back good memories...

I couldn't care less what happens with Damian. Didn't like that character when he was with the good guys.
