Agreed. I stopped watching a couple episodes after Lloyd was killed. Not intentionally... I just haven't been able to bring myself to spend 45 minutes of my life watching a West Wing presidential wish fulfillment show sans the over-the-top 24 elements.

To my surprise I'm still enjoying this without the "designated survivor" storyline. KS is still awesome, and the supporting cast are fun to watch. I like Seth, Emily and Hannah, so really at this point it's like a West Wing show with some CIA stuff.

Well, last night was the mid season finale.
They answered the big question about Mrs. Kirkman.

Bummed they killed her off. I knew the actress was leaving, but I thought maybe they'd have her character go to jail for obstruction of justice. At least she could have returned some day or had a small recurring role. But since they went with killing her off, I would have preferred her death to be part of a plot to shut her up rather than a random accident. Oh well.

Good. She was pointless on show.

Will be interesting to see how the shows goes forward after this. Guess it gives Kirkman something to focus on now that the S1 story line is essentially over. Same goes for invincible the MI6 agent. Now if they would just find a way to feature the kids even less.

Fact is her mother broke the law all those years ago and should pay a price
the side stories are getting weaker and weaker

In his defense... If you don't watch the previews for the next episode, or read about everything outside of the show, they don't actually say for sure she was dead at the end of the lats episode. Kinda obvious given his reaction, but not official until the next episode.

A real waste with the death of the first lady. Should have been an assasination or something like that, trigger a whole new cool storyline

Also, don't they block the side streets using police cars (or at lease motorcycles) when a top government motorcade moves through Washington? How could that truck have even got there?

Question for any or all - Anyone know why some shows make up country names (this one - last week's East and West Korea analogs) while some (Madam Secretary) appear to stick to existing countries?

the last few episodes have been good. Yeah the made up country names are a bit off putting
Always good to see Kim Raver and she and Kiefer always have great chemistry, just not sure seeing them together not as Jack and Audrey

Wow, poor Michael J Fox. He is almost impossible to understand now.

Safe to assume Wells isn't actually gone after this last episode?

Interesting little twist. I actually liked the idea of Kim Raver as the villian
