It was pretty obvious when shows/films use this plot point, especially when you have said character getting ignored by everyone else.

Yeah, that was very sloppy for a supposed professional.

According to the schedule, it gets pushed by an hour and Elementary is off for the night so it replaces that slot for the night.

Oh I'm expecting them to in some way, given how they already fast tracked him to VP in record time.

If any of those subplots were interesting, then yes. You can do character building with the asteroid/end of the world stuff, you don't need other storylines as you can make it a survival story or even a post-apocalyptic one if the writers want to drag it out that far Other than that, it feels too trivial given the asteroid/end of the world stuff, like are there supposed to be any real stakes with the wannabe Mr. Robot hacker group trying to hold the US government hostage when the world might end? Or the love triangle? Or that random woman Grace killed that's supposed to matter with everything going on?

Nobody was, or at the very least they were completely overshadowed by every other storylines.

It can be fun, just not when the love triangle and other dumb subplots are bringing things down, many people here just want the asteroid/end of the world stuff.

Agreed, it makes no sense at all to focus the show on a terrorist group blackmailing the US government when there's an asteroid incoming.

I was wondering about that, and even then they probably wouldn't be interested in their nonsense considering that there are actual issues like the asteroid to deal with.

It's pretty much the only believable thing in this show.

Probably because Stahl is a major driving force in the story.

Agreed, it's possible it's the production order.

This is the same series where Darius instantly became VP, so I guess they're either too dumb or don't care.

It's possible as it hasn't been the first time they've had a similar plot to another show.

I'm not sure why they thought dropping in a baby plot in this type of show, but it's ending in a few episodes anyways.

Agreed, this was dragged out until June where the contracts were about to expire. The shows that were picked up were cancelled in May and were already in negotiations a long time ago. You can just stick to Thursday nights.

At this point, it's either that ex partner guy from the last episode, the government, or a new character.

Having so many medical dramas can make things confusing.

Yeah, it felt unfinished, unless it's brought back later.

I'm not sure about famous quotes, but it certainly was a string of overused clichés in inspirational speeches.

I guess we'll find out later, it was a very awkward time jump that included the fastest, unintentional power grab by Darius who accidentally became VP in less than 5 days.

It felt like they were setting up something for the character but it got cut short.

Yeah, they've only recently talked to each other and that's after a couple of episodes where they were kept apart from interacting in the first couple of episodes when Dylan was hiding Julian from Lizzy.

Yeah, it needed more build up on that part.

Yeah, that one came out of nowhere.
