"Something's weird about this plane, Outbreak suits NOW!"
Two days later....
"So a snake thingy erupted from this guy's mouth and tried to eat us whole. Latex gloves oughta-do-her. No need to alert anyone else."


Two observations stolen elsewhere from the internet

Yeah, the lack of precaution these CDC guys take is pretty alarming.

If that guy had the wherewithal to lock himself in the shed why didn't he just kill himself?

Probably because it takes a lot less resolve and strength of will to chain yourself up than to off yourself. Or maybe he's got some of the fucked up religious leanings of his wife that make him think suicide is a sin?

He's not really in control of himself anymore, as he tells his wife that something is telling me to rip your face off. All of them are controlled by the master. From what I hear episode 8 is when it will really get going and episdoes 11, 12 and 13 will explain alot of questions that people are seeing now that is leaving people wondering or turning them off.

The first two episodes have had good moments and bad moments. From what I read, episode 3 is really where they could be getting more consistent.

From what I hear episode 8 is when it will really get going and episdoes 11, 12 and 13 will explain alot of questions that people are seeing now that is leaving people wondering or turning them off.

It's gotten better as it's gone on. Not sure WTF went wrong with the first two episodes.

Okay, shit is finally starting to kick in to high gear. I've been waiting for the "panic in the streets" section to come, and it seems like it's beginning. Cool.

I want more rat guy. I like when actors that normally play the heel get a chance to play good.

Yeah, that guy is awesome. And that sewer scene got me pretty amped up.

[broken iris]

Still a little cheesy at points, but definitely getting better as it goes forward. The toning down of the lead dude made a huge difference.

[lowlight79]

That was definately the best episode to date of the show. Watched it yesterday on my day off. We definately need more Vasily, he was the best character is the books also, well the second best. I hope the best one shows up soon........

Yeah, he really should have shot that guy. Although the only reason I can think of as to why he wouldn't is because it would make him look even worse. But still.

i was really hoping he would kick his head in or slam it in the car door....SOMETHING!!!

[@SkitchP]

Oh yeah, this show is actually really terrible.

[Rangi Guy]

I didn't mind the last episode at all - starting to look like shit's about to start happening. The one thing that really did annoy me was Nora Martinez's mother - her acting was awful. I hope she gets taken out soon

[Biff Pocoroba]

I'm starting to like where this is going again too. All we wanted out of a pulpy zombie vampire show is some pulpy zombie vampire action.

[lowlight79]

It's been up and down. They are literally dragging through the first 100 pages of the book. Picked up for season 2.

Last episode wasn't bad - although I really want to know who those dudes were that showed up at the end.

But who are they?

If I was Rudy I would have punched our hero in face several times already. Has there ever been a less likable lead? Sorry I "betrayed" you to save my terminally ill wife. Douche. I like the show well enough though. It's Bladey. The

You'll find out soon enough! I was waiting for them to show up. Pretty good ep.

Spoiler: show

Without making it too obvious, he is know as the born. He is an awesome character that will really give answers to the story.
