I agree but the way they are handling the virus is pretty weak. They could take a page from "The Walking Dead" and put in more terror and suspense.
agree, although they way it is set up, the virus itself doesn't confer aggressive behavior, so the terror/suspense part of the infected would be only because their are angry/pissed at people who are still healthy.
i think them being desperate/resigned would be a reasonable portrait in the aftermath of the epidemic (before there were riots, IIRC), when all hope has pretty much vanished.
one aspect that they have not addressed very much is why there would be still so many survivors who are sick. the course of the disease is depicted as being very quick, with nobody surviving once infected. so where did the people in the jungle come from? where they just recently reached by the disease? rest of the el toro storyline seems to point for the two camps to be there for quite some time.
but again i fall back into over-analyzing the science parts, which actually make very little sense in general.
i just watch it more as a character driven show, and i find it interesting and enjoyable. i haven't come to a part where i go "oh, c'mon now!"
tidbit of info that i found funny in view of the discussion about warships early in the thread:
the "kirov" used in the show, was in fact the "Iowa"!
