So...does the silent clock mean she's done?
I completely forgot it started tonight, and for some reason my DVR didn't work, does anyone know where I can catch this episode before tomorrow night's show?
I like the new direction. It seems bigger. I don't know how better to describe it.
And was that the Maroon 5 guy, who played the other bad guy (so not Emerson, but the driver/power cutting guy)? Oh well, as long as he doesn't start singing it might be tolerable.
Not the VP, but the President's husband.
and Cherry Jones, the President, is only doing mediocre work.
and this from a woman that is the 'toast of Broadway'.
This President makes Charles Logan look like Abraham fuckin' Lincoln.
A direct threat against hundreds of thousands of American lives (with a demonstrated and known capability to act anytime and anywhere), and she insists on invading a foreign nation despite that to protect foreigners, knowing full well what will happen. She's either insane and stupid or knows a LOT more than anyone else and isn't telling anybody (which means she's incompetent as a leader). If a real President made a call like that, he or she ought to be impeached and charged with treason. In a show that att least makes a pretense of realism, this is really making it difficult for me to watch because I get so angry at her.
you are right, sorry.
(in my mind, Cherry Jones is the first lesbian President, and the bald guy is her V P)

This is my only HUGE complaint with the show thus far. Other than that, you can tell they really have invested a lot more time and thought into the storylines this time around rather than just winging it like they did with Season 6.
I agree it's uncomfortable to watch, but you also have to think what would be the reaction of the American people when they found out the president gave in 100% to a terrorist threat, especially the first woman president?
I would think they would prefer that than to have 100,000 dead Americans and a foreign interventionist war in Africa, but hey...

Especially given the fact that you have NO GUARANTEE of getting the device back and sparing the American lives...
