I still think that with ten days of no contact with the CDC someone would have tried to look up possible sources of help nearby. Like, at the very least, someone should have tried to figure out where the nearest point of civilization is located. Also, apparently, the CDC doesn't care that its field team has dropped…

Eh, that only happened because Hatake hinted at Sarah that Julia's immortal biochemistry could overwhelm cancer. I mean, great for her, but that was handed to her by alien vampires. Of course, Alan completely ignored the enormity of this information because he's terrible.

Yeah, I gave up on seeing how daily life happens at that base many episodes ago. The last time we saw them eating, Julia did her chest-burster impersonation. Presumably, the entire base remains in lockdown and everyone's still imprisoned in their rooms.

LOL, yes, I don't actually believe they're fanged fantasy vampires. It's just quicker to call them vampires due to their vampiric traits. Like, I don't actually believe the vomit zombies are risen undead. They just fulfill the tropes associated with those two archetypes.

I thought that was the immortality serum. It turned Julia into a silver-eyed person. Either it's the immortality serum, or it's something that activated Julia's recessive immortality genes maybe. I don't think its the cure that Ilaria wants, nor is it a cure that Hatake intends to pass around (they'd be creating…

LOL yes, but it's conjecture. We'll have to see how it plays out. I mean, at one point, I believed the base was an ice-locked floating vessel to explain the Arctic location, but that didn't pan out.

I wouldn't say it's a dud. Its flaws are just incredibly noticeable because of how the character work unfolds. It starts a pattern of nit-picking that really snowballs into a negativity it can't seem to overcome.

What's all this nonsense about "liking" and "not liking" reviews?

Ilaria already wants the Narvik strain. It seems they no longer care about Hatake's cure, because they don't actually believe he's looking for the cure. I think at this point, they want Narvik, and will hand it off to someone else who could find its cure. So now what?

LMAO did you seriously just create this profile so you can be all holier-than-though? You don't like her reviews, so you're here to tell her you know better than her and she should not do this job? I don't watch this show the same way she does either, but you know what I do? I skip her review and scroll down to the…

Seeing Peter become King Zombie should have clued Alan into the idea that metamorphosis was in play somehow. With that level of biological control, you'd think Alan would suspect that the technology could be applied in a more benevolent manner. Manipulating genes at that level has so many possible applications, and I…

Well, I'm just going with the title cards, LOL! Presumably, the production team wouldn't say it's Day 10, if it really wasn't Day 10. I do agree that the passage of time here is not tracking too well (is it before sunrise, or is it after sunset; is this during the equinox with actual day/night cycles, etc).

Ilaria was observing his every move

OMG Sarah's response to Hatake's kidnappings was baffling. It does explain why she had no qualms about endangering the team with her tumor secret. As long as she helps find the cure, it's okay if she passes out at a critical moment. Don't let healthy people sub in for you, Sarah; you're important!

Well, it looks like it'll be zombies vs vampires before season's end. I think this show would have felt like it was moving faster if the production team didn't limit each episode to only one day at a time. It is soooo linear and weighs itself down with expositions about the past (rather than showing the past, for…

His plan, as far as we know, was stalling until he would find a way to defeat Ilaria somehow.

Okay, I can accept that fatalism from Hatake maybe. If that's what the show's going with, then I hope that at least it becomes a point of discussion within the show itself. Otherwise, the whole thing will feel like wasted time with no explanation.

Well, yes, now is too late. I meant, had Hatake worked on the cure earlier in secret, he could have introduced it into the food/water/vaccinations supply gradually or something similar. He could have delayed Ilaria like normal, but he'd be buying time for the antigen to proliferate.

I'm guessing that when Alan and Julia failed to fire back, the sniper realized they had no guns. Sniper then runs up to the windows and actually starts aiming at Alan and Julia from a few feet away, LOL! Though, as you said, that makes it even more pathetic that he still couldn't hit them from that vantage point.

But finding the cure makes Operation Thinning the Herd irrelevant. If Hatake unleashes the cure to the world, Narvik-A is useless. The herd doesn't get thinned and Ilaria has to start over.
