While we never saw the passengers, which was odd - they definitely were on board. They referred to getting all the medications they could from the passengers, and someone commented on how much Viagra there was. I thought it was strange that we didn't see one passenger - it seemed like a purposeful choice on the part of the director. This was a bit over the top and not at all realistic - but it did keep my attention. I thought Don Johnson did some good acting.

It took me forever to realize who it was. I thought she did a pretty good job with the role.

No one can cry like Jennifer Love Hewitt - and she proved that yet again in this episode. I really thought the throat slashing was some kind of dream sequence as the screen went a little "gauzy" right at the end. There was no reason for the throat slashing, they could have achieved the same thing by just knocking her out. This episode was too dark for me. And if they are going to blame someone's crimes on mental health issues, I wish they would at least give a reasonable explanation. This storyline made no sense. I hope we get back to normal next week. Or at least what passes for normal in this season...

Read Keenan's response to Wallen walking off. He takes a bit of offense at Wallen's post about returning to "God's Country" - which seems a slam on New York. I completely agree with him. The comment makes the walk off look even worse.

I think it was meant to be racism. When Will commented on the reason for the stop being that he was driving too slow, it was clear from the look on his face that he thought it was a bogus reason.

I thought it so odd that it was never directly addressed in the show that "The Teacher" was the son in law of the owner of the barn. I figured it was him and as soon as I saw Nicolas, and it was confirmed when he took of the mask - but how come no one in the show every verbalized the connection? I'm glad this arc is finished.

This ending was better than the book ending. In the book, music played a much bigger role - Ish had a record player that was very important to him. He comes to the same realization, that he will never be able to create the old world. ***Book Spoiler*** At the end of the book he is now living alone in a cave and the young children come up an pinch him to see if he is still alive! It was a bit of a sad ending.

As I said earlier, this is a much different take on the apocalypse then modern movies and tv shows usually show. I read the book, so new what to expect. The novel goes quite a bit into how much they should try and rebuild the old society and how much they should accept how things are now and try to adapt to a new norm.

I had the same thought about having unprotected sex, but I think part of this is the show is based on a novel which was written in 1954. A lot of the novel is about how society would rebuild itself and that involves having babies.

I'm a little late to the series, I wish more people were posting. I like it so far, but I am a huge fan of the book and knew what to expect. I think modern audiences are so conditioned to apocalyptic series being violent, that they may feel like this show moves too slow.

I was a bit disappointed that they didn't emphasize the theme from the Love Boat a bit more after Tristin won the contest. It was there in the music, but very faint. Someone like me, who is old and has seen every episode of the Love Boat more than once, could easily pick it out, but I bet lots of viewers didn't hear it. And agree with those upthread - the costume didn't even look like what Captain Stubing wore! I'm going to stay with this because of Don Johnson and because I want to see where it goes, but it could be so much better!

This was on of the dumbest episodes ever. All anyone needed to do was grab the reins and the horse would have stopped while still in the garden area. And there is no way that dead body would have stayed on the back of the horse. And yes, horses will drink beer, they like the wheat taste, although too much would not be good for them. And why wasn't Judd doing the roping? Does anyone know the name of the song that played as Judd's ex-wife rode up? I agree with the above posters - I'm worried they are going to try and pair her and Owen - which would also be dumb!

While my observation that Don Johnson did not directly interact with anyone but the crew in the first episode did not carry over to this episode - I still think there is something "other worldly" going on here. The lighting continues to remind me of church. I'm curious to see where it goes.

He was a major player in "Rescue Me." The firefighter drama/comedy with Dennis Leary. Great show.

I read this before I watched the pilot, and I think there might be something to it. Don Johnson never interacted with anyone but crew members. He never spoke to a passenger and no passenger spoke to him. The lighting and music when the doctor first came on board had a very religious vibe to it. There was lots of bright light coming from above and he was back lit a lot. And that room with all the vials and such was very strange. I'm going to keep watching for Don Johnson - but I am very curious to see where this goes.
