The capitol just got exploded and he's quibbling over due process? Jack Bauer would be ashamed. Jack never cares about due process. He just asks for an axe.

Edit: Note to self - never trust Crooked Virginia Madsen.

This is a good show. Sutherlands bipolarity is great. And so was that preview.

Looks like Kiefer Sutherland is enjoying himself. Getting to play a very different character but not one who is too meek. He can be a badass if his country needs it but it's not natural for him and that really comes through with Chief Kief's portrayal.

This is basically 24. I jsut hope the stupid kid doesn't end up being Kim Bauer all over again and get kidnapped or some shit.
 
I'm so surprised that this is still decent.

I'm real interested to see when they actually get into the politics of the presidency. That will make or break the show. I expect 2 more episodes of "OMG BOMBING" before it settles into Jack Bauer's West Wing, with an underlying season arc of whodunnit.

Batteries the CRISIS!
Aaron Shore is going to blackmail President Kirkman. I can feel it.

It'll tie into Emily's foreshadowing about chiefs of staff getting fired all the time.

"Aaron, I'm gonna have to ask you to step down."

"Are you sure, Mr. President?" [waves manila folder around]

God this show is such trash. It's a shame since there's legitimate potential but it's being buried under formulaic network drama shit. Of course the surviving congressman wasn't telling the truth! Of course Kirkman's honesty is going to backfire on him! Never mind that binary devil and angel on each shoulder garbage. When will Natasha Mchelone get anything to work with that isn't generic family crap? HACKERSSSSSS AND CYBER

Time for straight hatewatching.

Holy shit, reading the comments of the AVC review reminded me that the only reason they found the terrorist video WAS BECAUSE IT WAS IN FUCKING PAL FORMAT. We deserve a better breed of network drama.
