Anyone watching? It premiered last week, with the second episode tonight. As a huge detractor of the show last season I thought the premiere last Wednesday was solid. Until the very last second, which caused me to spontaneously exclaim, out loud: “Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you.” I think I know where they’re going with that moment, but it doesn’t make it any less “fuck you” worthy. Still, the rest of the episode was pretty good so I’m looking forward to tonight’s episode. EDIT: Apologies if there is already a thread, but I looked and searched and didn’t find anything. ---

Way to go turning the power back off AFTER the nukes hit. What’s the point then? Just leave it on… Glad beardo’s not dead, though, no matter how stupid the explanation winds up being. ---

Maybe with electricity a lot of the soldiers would just go home. ---

Just leave it on… Glad beardo’s not dead, though, no matter how stupid the explanation winds up being. Won’t it be that cloud of firefly-like nanos he saw earlier in the episode? I mean, we already know they heal flesh. ---

It looks like they didn’t have much choice. The control room went haywire after the nukes and everyone evacuated. ---

I did not understand what’s going on in the final scene of episode 2. Anyone want to explain it? I mean, the woman’s probably not a vampire, so…
