I don't get the drone pilot. What was with the cuck that beat him up but didn't take his money? 

What was his sorry about? 
Other than injuring rotten teeth what did he do?


This. It almost felt like there should be another episode dealing with him in general. I get that the pilot wanted to spend the money from his kills and that the husband wife team were just into the cuck thing but when I saw it was Lee Tergesen I guess I expected more.

Also, it felt like we skipped over the hostages having Ebola. Like, Ryan figured it out and the next episode opens with news reports about it and the President being quarantined. I'm fine with them skipping showing phone calls and the procedure to get the president to the hospital but it just felt rushed I guess.

It was odd to have a recognizable face come in and have that one odd role.
His first role being the Scared prisoner in.Oz. Who would have thought the Nazi that carved up his arse would be an Oscar caliber actor and the spokesman for An Insurance company.

That was another ridiculous contrivance.

They wanted that scene with Jack and Kathy, and it’s the only reason it existed.

Lazy lazy writing.

I watched the first 6 episodes yesterday. Wish they would have omitted the drone pilot story line. So far it's just filler.

Pretty sure they said this strand of Ebola was eradicated, so while its extremely dangerous, they knew what it was and had a cure. But the infection wasn't meant to kill them, it was meant to get them treated in the same place so they could be killed with the Cesium powder(someone correct me I know that's not the right material), and I will agree that it was ebola just to get the shot with Ryan and the Dr.

I have no explanation for the cuck beat down. I was fine with him blowing the money because he felt bad and thought it was dirty, but flying to go apologize was ridiculous.

That being said, I really enjoyed the series. I realize it was unrealistic, but it was a fun show to binge hungover on a holiday and I'll happily watch S2 if they make it.
