The TV thread

I have never cared about a Kiefer Sutherland character in any show or movie.

 

Watch the Season 2 episode when Jack volunteers to fly the nuke out of range and detonate it over the desert, and calls his daughter to tell her what he's doing and how he won't come back alive.

EDIT: Watch this:

 

This talk about Kiefer Sutherland reminds me that Designated Survivor couldn't be less subtle even if the actors broke character and turned to the camera to give a lecture on gun control or bi-partisanship.

 

I don't think they said "We're running out of time" once on 24: Legacy.

 

Did they at least say dammit?

 

It was a fun diversion, but yea, ended poorly. Like they were trying to hard to set up another season.

Does Jimmy Smits get the Emmy for overacting?

The whole crime boss brother thing fell flat, although I liked when the gangbangers shot it out with the terrorists.

 

Batman did it way better.

 

His speech in one of the episodes near the end was pure ham. He should have broken the fourth wall and worked in a promo for Easter dinner somewhere.

 

How is SJ.com not discussing the "impact as a verb" line from Designated Survivor tonight?

 

This could be the No TV Thread soon:

Why Hollywood’s writers are on the verge of a strike — and what it could mean for the industry

 

If there is a strike, I could probably spend a year catching up on shows I'd like to watch but haven't had time to yet. And I think "struggling financially" might be different in Hollywood than the rest of the world. I know a writer for Homeland and if tines get too tough, I guess she could sell either the Porsche or the BMW.

 

You are clearly just a pro-management shill.
