What exactly was wrong with the French people? They looked like they had some sort of horrible skin disease. Leprosy? 

Sara's an idiot. She should have listened to Isaac.

I'd put a bullet straight between her eyes, she is so annoying and listens to no-one

If I was Isaac I would have gagged and bound Sara for the rest of the journey. She wasn’t listening to him and putting everyone in danger. And did they ever explain why Two Moons couldn’t speak?

Isaac said her tongue was cut out.

Yay! Jacob figured it out.

I was very distracted by the actor playing Jacob, because I couldn't work out where I had seen him before. But I think maybe it was that show The Staircase, where he plays one of the murderer's sons.

So the writer has Sara lose the sympathy of every single viewer. And then he has her raped, regaining the sympathy of some viewers, I guess? And then she shoots the shit out of everyone including her rapist, which must be the first time Sara has been able to (physically) hold her own in the hellish environment of the show. It's the first time she has been as ruthless and violent as everyone around her, which also probably regains her some viewer sympathy, as she displays what passes for competence on this show ie. the competence to kill.

They should adopt that Two Moons kid immediately. How many times has she saved them now?

It's still annoying when Sarah won't listen to Isaac when he gives simple  instructions but in her defense he doesn't explain himself. She's a mother. She sees a young child alone in the wilderness so of course she wants to help and Isaac didn't explain why it was a bad idea to help her.

I hate how often rape is used as a plot device in these types of shows but it's realistic to the times and for all the gratuitous violence they showed restraint in portraying the rape.
