Designated Survivor

Brace for Impact - S1-E21

Other mistake: When Agent Wells tells the White House they need to alert the Pentagon that Lozano is inside the Pentagon, she is told "it's already done, they are locking down the building right now." Then, later in the same episode, we see Lozano use a key card to easily pass through the building. (00:15:45 - 00:21:15)

Misalliance - S1-E19

Other mistake: When Patrick Lloyd receives the text message on his phone while working out, we hear it buzz and he reads it immediately but the message says "14 min. ago." The time also jumps from 12:15 to 12:59. (00:02:20)

Tom Kirkman: What do you want me to do, General, declare war? Why not. 40 minutes ago, they showed me the nuclear football. I guess I've had it long enough to try it out.

More quotes from Designated Survivor

Answer: It's a recurring theme on the show. Characters come and go depending on the storyline. General Cochrane, Tyler Richmond, Abe Leonard, etc.

Answer: Apparently the characters were eliminated due to cost-cutting measures by Netflix and after salary negotiations with the actors failed.

Oh. That makes the most sense. I also forgot to mention Kirkman's brother.
