Snippet:

Quote:

Alex, what went into your decision to move the show to New York for the first time?
Alex Gansa: We had been a road show for a long time. We shot the first three seasons in Charlotte, the fourth in South Africa, the fifth season in Germany. I think all of us wanted to come home — Claire especially wanted to be back in New York. But it was tough trying to come up with a story about an ex–intelligence officer living in the city. How were we gonna fashion a narrative around that idea?

Right. After Berlin, why would Carrie logically be in New York?
AG: Yes, all of that stuff proved difficult. We take a research field trip to Washington, D.C., every year, and during that time we meet with intelligence officers, White House staffers and State Department people. We heard a lot about this idea of a presidential transition and what a fragile time that is for a democracy. And this was more than 14 months ago, when everyone assumed Hillary Clinton was gonna win the presidency. So it made sense to tell a story in New York about a junior senator who gets elected president, who Carrie Mathison was advising, and have that happen organically in New York City.

Claire Danes: We wanted to come home as a company. It was challenging, but fruitful to go back to the origin of it. Literally ground zero. It was an interesting season to film because we were trying to imagine the outcome of the presidential election that had yet to occur, but that we knew would have occurred by the time our show had aired. That’s tricky. Thank goodness Alex was at the helm of this.

AG: Claire, you didn’t see me on Election Night. [Laughter.] I was storming around my house saying “We’re completely irrelevant!”

CD: But you know what, I actually think being in New York was particularly relevant to this election. Clinton and Trump … I mean, the arrows were pointing there.

And it made sense why they made lady president bec they tho that we would have one, but nope..

Yep! At least Designated Survivor has a male for a president.

**fly me to the moon** · 06-23-2017, 05:57 PM

Dar Adal is a wonderful villain on the show.

**stlavin95** · 06-24-2017, 12:47 AM

Yes he is

**fly me to the moon** · 06-24-2017, 07:24 PM

Thanks for that..

I'm also thinking the POTUS may have more of a role again for the next season? I wonder if they'll continue on with that drama or we go back to Afghanistan or somewhere else for the new season?

**stlavin95** · 06-25-2017, 11:10 PM

I hope they continue with POTUS drama since I think it could be really interesting.

**fly me to the moon** · 06-26-2017, 08:38 AM

Yeah, same.. I really hope that they don't drop it too soon..

**stlavin95** · 06-26-2017, 03:09 PM

I hope they don't either.

**fly me to the moon** · 06-26-2017, 06:53 PM

Yeah plus it would be very interesting to see how it play out for each character..
