Promo pics for ep 1x03:

Still good, the plot thickens, guess the woman cant be trusted, and he picked his COS
and then at end he gets the file on kirman!
The survivor left his seat so he knew, which suggests as I said, that it was more
of a coup than a attack.
For some reason they didnt count on kirkman ?? was he supposed to be killed in some
way too?

Episode 3 was good again, but not as good as the first two.
I'm still afraid they concentrate to much on the family crap.
Now the even sold us that cliche story about the dead President and his son ... jeez ...
