The Eva bit was heartbreaking and yet heartfelt at the same time. Kudos to Joe. It also went on waaay to long, especially her wailing - they could have cut it off earlier, but they were definitely milking it in post. Cedrek is like a few doctors I know personally - absolute professionals and geniuses in their chosen field, but borderline simpletons everywhere else. I wouldn't be surprised if he was on the spectrum. If Mitch gets underestimated, I can see him going far.

Non-book reader here. That was a lot and I will need to research some details, but I enjoyed it. Random thoughts: I initially thought the three Leaf friends were our heroes for a minute. The futuristic past turned into Destiny (visuals) meets the Transformers (sounds) real quick. The costumes were amazing. The only makeup on Josha that looked bad was the Amish bearded wagon puller. Were we supposed to give a shit about Muradin? Was Lewin shunned because he killed the bandit or because he used a weapon? What if he had just shoved the guy and he fell and hit his head on a rock?

The first two were OK, but nine episodes seems like way too much.

Very weak episode. The writers have no clue how health insurance works - most of it was anecdotal bullshit.

EMPs fry anything with chips and circuit boards. Older HAM and crappy radios don't have them and would still work. Wasn't there a throwaway line early on about "What the hell are you doing in Colorado" or something? I'm guessing we'll see a retcon flashback of X doing pre-flight checks and whatnot.

Random thoughts, too many people to quote! 😀 Amy Pietz was just on an episode of The Tracker and was good. There was an aircraft carrier shown by the Washington Monument. The Norwegian movie is called The Wave (not to be confused with the Afterschool Special from 1981). If the EMP was even reasonably successful, there would be a lot of survivors topside. I have ZERO sympathy whatsoever (now) for Xavier and his wife. Sorry, dude. When all of a sudden the shoe is on the other foot, it hurts like hell, don't it?

What, no meta quips about lotion or a hose? Disappointed.

Playing competitive hockey for a while will do that, even at minor levels. I have a nephew who played just club hockey through high school, and he could do things in the gym with his legs that made the football players take notice.

I'm pretty sure they explained the Sinatra reference when they were talking at the conference. Cal's Dad called her that (and it stuck), and referred to his son as Peter Lawford, who was more of the forgotten member. It's a Rat Pack thing. Julianne Nicholson was heartbreaking, and most of that was a one-take shot. Based solely on the planes and town meeting, I'm guessing the town has a lot less than 25,000 people. Extinction-Level Events are usually meteors or volcanoes, but I could see an inevitable nuclear war fitting the bill. It was the military guy that brought it up.

Who keeps the cap off the milk in the refrigerator? The winch on the ATV wasn't even rotating. Bad edit/effects.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this show needs to be renamed "Trespasser". It's ridiculous. And Preenie with her purse posing is exhausting.

I didn't re-watch, but did Peachy unwrap Mary's SITD behind the urn? It looked a little sketchy.

No, that would be Shannon Sharpe. And then he got his own show. Bowen Yang is not talented enough for a borderline vanity episode.

For a second I thought Reacher framed the maid with his tiny phone. I predicted the nerd's death several episodes ago. Chekov's Hostage and whatnot. If that surf is so powerful, Reacher must be Michael Phelps on an eight ball of coke. I know everyone wants to see Reacher take down Paulie, but I could see it being an Indiana Jones-type resolution.

This week it's Price's turn for the family drama creeping into a case. How many brothers does he have? Is warning of a subpoena really witness tampering when the guy probably knew it was coming? He was a cop.
