I thought the book was mediocre, but the movie is pretty terrible.

Well, while my predictions of Eli's demise last year were rather premature, I can see him slowly taking the lessons he's learned in prison, he does seem to be a bit quieter, less angry fellow than he once was, only to get killed off around episode eleven.

I got a kick out of two small things this week.

Van Alden losing the contest because his co-workers and boss dislike him had a strangely familiar ring. Without a badge and a gun, his odd nature is going to be even less tolerated than it was before. I imagine he'll be picking up the latter relatively soon. The whole door to door montage was great.
