Judging by the lack of a thread, I'm guessing there's not many people interested in the return of Designated Survivor, but if you are, it is back as of last night. Pretty decent episode as he's dealing with his grief.

Just from the previews, there's going to be a lot of crap that goes down for the next few weeks. But then again, that's every season.

Anyone else still watching this?

The show is fine but almost the textbook definition of a show I put on in the background while doing other stuff.

Audrey Raines chillin’ with President Jack Bauer made for a cool episode.

Bring in Carlos Bernard, ABC. Do it.

It would be cool if it was his dead wife but I think we all know that this show isn't going anywhere interesting.

I'm dreading the seemingly inevitable moment when Aaron and Seth betray the president because Emily falls in love with Tom and becomes Mrs. Kirkman II because she's *robotic beeping* generic fee-maaale character

Women in Jack Bauer’s life have a nasty tendency to suffer the same fates as the women in James Bond’s life.

Audrey Raines wants to give it another go? Good luck Audrey.

Season two is a fascinating train wreck. We gave up with it around episode 11 or 12 because it was just so loving retarded in every way imaginable, that we're thorough convinced the writers were fired and they were asking some intern to do all the script instead.

I can't see this getting a third season. It's a disaster zone.

How many people were involved in writing and planning season 2, because it couldn't decide if it wanted to be 24 or the West Wing, and it fails at both. Can't imagine this isn't canceled

I was honestly pretty sure this piece of garbage was still in season 1 but I guess it isn't! Somehow it manages to keep getting dumber and not in a good way.

The season finale is now the series finale.

I hope everyone gets killed by a comet strike. Farewell, dumb show that had weird tonal shifts this season which eventually sealed it's fate.

They will all be killed when Hannah Wells sets off a nuke while doing something completely unrelated. Like buying a coffee.

Too bad, I liked seeing Keifer Sutherland as president. If only they had stuck with that.

I didn't even bother with this season. They pretty much quickly abandoned the concept of trying to save the US from collapse after the loss of the govt and rebuilding after the first few episodes. Instead it became a reset button where President Perfect could solve every major issue of our times with soul searching and a plithy speech, the writers saying "Well if I was in charge, here's what I would do. Let's solve immigration! Abortion! Gun Rights! Yay!"
