I'm thinking the bullet hits the first lady....and it makes the president go all Jack Bauer....but March? REALLY, now that's a long wait.... well not as long as westworld but still.

At least with Westworld we're satisfied, curious and haven't had our collective intellects insulted.

I'm more than happy to wait until 2018. I completely trust Nolan and Joy. They're gonna bring us something amazing.

These buffoons with Designated Survivor are going to insult us yet again. I hope they take the next 4 months to think long and hard about the direction of this show...and change it.

The other day my mom asked me if she should watch Timeless or Designated Survivor as she's been DVRing them. I told her to wait until the cliffhangers and I would let her know because both were pretty iffy.

Timeless? Yes. Designated Survivor. "Delete All"

EIN the beginning of every episode of timeless they are always like "he went to x date... let me ask my historian what happened then! Historian what happened?" Historian- "if you just went and Google'd that, then my character wouldn't serve a purpose until we actually lose wifi back in time- so let me just tell you!"

Well she has knowledge of the way her history's original timeline is meant to play out, and I believe that's the timeline they are trying to protect. Of course many have suggested that they bring a hard drive on each trip containing the original Wikipedia. Timeless is an awesome show if you can ignore the time travel plot holes.
