In a recent _Surface_ thread, I [enumerated](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6600042&postcount=4) some of the parallels between _Surface_ and John Wyndham’s _The Kraken Wakes_. > [@](#): > > If those buggers deliberately melt the polar ice-caps and cause worldwide flooding, I’m gonna have to say “Aha!” Now the oceans are warming up, hmmm? “Climactic upheaval on par with the Old Testament.” Aha! ---

I’m not familiar with this book, I may have to look into it. About this episode: I saw the poor little dog’s fate coming, but I wasn’t happy about it. It’s not the dog’s fault its owner is a snotty teen bitch. I’m sort of wishing Nimrod will eat Mile’s sister though. The shit had gotta hit the fan for Miles next week though, I doubt the girl will keep quiet about Nimrod eating her dog. I know these creatures are eating people, whales, pet dogs and other things but I can’t help but root for them. ---

I wish Nim had eaten all four of those nasty girls. ---

I really really hate that kid and his mouthbreathing ways. I just hate that entire storyline. The rest of it? I rather like. But I hope Nimrod eats the kid and his stupid friend. Bah. ---

I’m glad I’m not the only one who wants the annoying girls to be eaten. That lizard is more likable then they are. He’s a dumb animal, while they’re a bunch of snotty assholes. ---

If they eat the girls, I can forgive the global warming thing. I feel bad for the dog, but he did warn her. If she refuses to leash her dog, well, I get the feeling it would have happened sooner or later, like when the dog runs out into the road and gets hit by a car the next day. ---

I just got around to watching it. This show does have a nearly Baywatch-esque devotion to showing young girls in bikinis, doesn’t it? ---

OK, I forgot to tape this ep., but there was a rerun of the entire series last night on the sci-fi channel, so I got to watch _most_ of it, I missed the last fifteen minutes. What happened after the woman biologist when under the boat to try to fix the prop? I gather that Nim ate the brunette girl’s dog. Has Nim grown bigger? He doesn’t seem large enough to eat even a small dog. ---
