The Christmas episode of Designated Survivor on December 13 had an odd way of celebrating Christmas. Namely, it chose a storyline which centered around Christian extremists whose beliefs would likely cause a baby to die. For good measure, writers also added twenty adults, in the middle of a major forest fire, in a standoff with the federal government to insure that the baby doesn't get medical…

Director Scott Derrickson has a funny way of ringing in a national holiday. Derrickson’s resume includes a number of respected films including The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) and Sinister (2012).

The Return of Virtue

Rarely has the idiom "virtue is its own reward" looked better than it does in light of the sex scandals sweeping the nation.
