I'm guessing (though I don't agree) that they felt that the finale retroactively spoiled the other eleven hours.

No, you're correct. There's no evidence he was ever directly exposed to the mammoths. He just found them on sensors.

No. So far everyone that's been infected has gone nonverbal and stabby, plus showed signs of being sick beforehand (well, possibly minus Jason but he's not been onscreen that much). Pettigrew's got a whole different agenda and a good bit of both that and the puking can almost certainly be laid at the feet of being

I only have so much time for television and I find drama a more rewarding use of that time, generally. Though I definitely appreciate moments of humor in my drama, like in Justified.

One of the first places everyone's mind went when watching this show (y'know, even before things got Real Weird (tm) in episode 7): The Thing.

She was being taken over by an alien parasite (or whatever this whole thing is). Kind of puts a damper on your energy to resist other stuff.

The doctor is still alive, yes, or at least was last we saw her. Of course, I don't think getting weird clear goop puked into her savagely mutilated abdomen probably is doing her any favors in terms of remaining, y'know, human.

I don't think Jules left because she thought he might accidentally discharge that gun. I'm pretty sure that she thought he might deliberately shoot some or all of them, considering how unstable and violent he's been acting.

As Dan says, there are 800 Fortitude residents all mandated to carry firearms, and four law enforcement officers. And the residents have already shown a tendency towards mob violence and panic. They cannot afford to have that happen. I don't disagree that Hildur handled Jules poorly, as having that conversation in

I'm pretty sure that's where Dan was headed as he left the office. On the other hand, boy, getting there in time to save Morton, who's not exactly looking very lively when we last see him? That's going to be a tall order. I can hope, of course, but…

One of the things that frustrates me is that I would love to evangelize this show to the high heavens, and I'm doing my best, but I feel like describing the things that I love about it in any detail would be too spoilery. For example, I adore how slowly and subtly they hinted at the show having SF/horror elements, but

Wasn't there? Ingrid kept slipping on something clear on the floor of the supermarket. It could have been water/melted snow, I suppose, but that doesn't seem like it would be distributed in that way.

She…she may not die. Just saying.

Ronnie definitely -is- ill. He practically coughed his lungs up this episode and had to clear out so Carrie wouldn't see how sick he is. That said, we can't be sure it's the mysterious illness Liam and Shirley had and he's not been immobilized like they were. Plus, you know, he's been hiding out in the glacier and

There were black bits in there. Like those flies that we saw in the window framing one of the shots earlier in the episodes, say. Or something else, I don't know. I don't think I want to know.

People can have just one psychological disorder, y'know. The fact that Chuck isn't exhibiting others doesn't mean it's not purely psychological. (Besides, he's pretty clearly delusional about how he'll recover and go back to work soon. A soon that never actually arrives.)

They didn't miss it, though. As they point out to him, they noticed it too and they checked on things like whether the family had taken any cars and such. They just came to different conclusions, in part because Jimmy has something they don't: a reason to believe Nacho wasn't involved.

I get that it's New Orleans, but having a creepy detached doll head on the dresser seems a little weird for a hotel room.

I was assuming it was more of a Godzilla emerging from Tokyo harbor sort of thing, but you may be right.

It's kind of a demonstration of just how far Deva's wandered off the beaten path when her wild-child bad influence friend is the one trying to bail because this place is creeping her out.
