Into the Rotation
Do I believe Geena Davis as President of the United States?
Not quite, although I imagine that if she were a real-life politician the press would eat up the fact that Davis is almost a world-class archer. It would be nice projection of strength. And imagine the photo op: Geena Davis going bow hunting with Ted Nugent. It would look better than Kerry's contrived pheasant hunting in Ohio
My verdict on tonight's pilot of Commander in Chief is that show is a fun little fantasy. But watching a woman deliver a speech in front of Congress or the first man picking out china patterns will get old in about two weeks. I think the show has potential, although it will be hard for it to come anywhere close to the West Wing. On the other hand CIC doesn't have to contend with any blatantly awful casting such as Moira "Toepick" Kelly from the first two seasons. Donald Sutherland was very good as the power-hungry Speaker of the House.
