There hasn't been a standoff with Ilaria yet…

But he can't stall like that forever. Eventually, Ilaria will just go ahead and replace him with someone who will give them both the virus and the cure. My confusion comes from what the plan is once Hatake's delay tactics piss off Ilaria.

I actually like the show because I like plague outbreak stories. Enough of that is happening to keep me invested. I'm just really frustrated with the show because its glacial pace allows me to fixate on everything wrong with the science bits of their sci-fi.

…it's the trio of Sergio, Miksa/Daniel and Anana who no longer add much to the main plot.

LOL that scene made her look even more stupid. Surely, she's heard of Stickies/Post-It Notes and/or a felt pen/marker. She could have written out the sequence and stuck big numbers to the levers she needed to pull. This is not something that should have baffled her.

Apparently @drumamaila:disqus created this account specifically to attack the reviewer. It's clearly someone who reads regularly enough to be annoyed by Team Banana, but not one who wanted the repercussions of such a shitty comment. "That's why women shouldn't do reviews." ?!!!

Yeah, I don't get why that guy waited three decades to bleed out. If that's what he wanted all that time, surely he could have used his teeth on his frozen skin. The chains on his wrists allowed him to raise his arms to his mouth. Cold skin (not frostbitten) would have a useful numbness against the pain. That sounds…

It's even more nonsense considering he's already seen Julia transform from plague victim to silver-eyed healthy "human" with control over the vomit zombie horde. Even if Alan doesn't believe in the immortality explanation, he should have been more understanding of genetic engineering. He already suspected the virus…

Yeah, it was stupid that the Echelon station was suddenly so easily spotted on a map. That tells me no one actually skimmed the map before. After the base's antenna array blew up, you'd think someone would have at least tried to check what nearby facilities might help them. Hatake could still have stonewalled them by…

That scene with the zombie attack witnessed from inside the MRI scanner was cool…

Yes, you're right: we don't actually know whether Narvik preceded Hatake's Arctic operations, or if it's something he actually created at that base. I was under the assumption that Narvik existed beforehand (an idea leftover from the extraterrestrial aliens hypothesis early on), and that Hatake's sole purpose was to…

LOL, I will accept that as the energy source! The snow would be his source of water. If immortality means none of his cells grow old and slough off, then maybe at that point, he no longer needs to eat to replenish his tissues. However, that really pulls us into fantasy vampire territory, though.

Yeah, I get that Peter was likely the first to metabolize Narvik-B, but what does being first to the party do for this group? Peter was removed from play when he was cryogenically frozen, yet the vomit zombies actually went out of their way to retrieve and resuscitate him. If they needed a leader, shouldn't they have…

I'm off two minds about that idea. On the one hand, it would finally tie her into the main narrative, and might finally make her interesting. On the other hand … more of her (and it wouldn't undo all the dead space that she embodied for the ten episodes she's been on).

Well, we're not sure of it; that's conjecture on my part. However, since Narvik exists, surely he'd want the antigen. I mean, if his intent is to resist Ilaria's goals, the cure is a way to do that.

Ah, right, yes. However, I think he truly does want to find the cure. I know he's stalling Ilaria, but that was never gonna hold them off forever. At least by bringing in the CDC there's the chance that the cure would get out to the world at large, beyond Ilaria's proprietary control. I suspect that's why he assisted…

There are 500 immortals (I don't know where they came from). Why they decided on only 500 immortals at a time hasn't been stated. For whatever reason, they want to "thin the herd" of mortal humanity. What they intend to do with humanity is unclear (other than they want to control the resultant smaller population).

Nothing Sarah is doing is inherent to her existence as a character. All her plot points could have been handed off to other characters, and there'd be no gaping hole where her character used to be. The idea that the virus could be used to cure ailments was already broached when Peter developed super powers, and the…

The hook of this show is the only thing providing interest at this point. Side characters only have value if they provide additional interest. Sarah is so far from "competence porn" that it's the reason why she is uninteresting.

I don't, which is why I'm asking how his body works.
