Too much Benford angst and not a lot else that we didn't already see from the previews. The Benfords are boring. This wasn't as good as I expected it would be. The scenes with Simon (apart from showing us he had a flashforward) didn't really tell us anything new. Again he and Lloyd reiterated they were in some way responsible for the GBO which was already revealed. It feels like it's getting formulaic every week just following another lead on Mark's board.
Pacejunkie I could not have said it better. I agree..get a divorce already Olivia and quit whining !

I agree! I am finding the show a bit disorienting. Trying to do too much with too many characters in each episode.
Maybe they should take a clue from lost and focus in on one character or one story line a week.
I'm getting the opposite sense when I watch it. There is too much focus on the Benfords and their petty marital squabbles to the exclusion of other characters and stories far more suitable in the aftermath of a global catastrophe. I'm just not feeling the 20 million dead and all that should mean. Love triangles are the sorts of things that happen in boring little lives. It doesn't fit with a show of this supposed scale.
And speaking of which, I know we've talked about this before but I'm starting to feel it more --- 20 million dead, the world in a panic, surely there are others investigating this event and taking action. Yet it seems like our little cast of characters are the only ones. I expected Mosaic to not just be the new Facebook and a sharing of stories, but an actual sharing of facts and resources from investigators all over the globe. What intel is the LA branch office of the FBI actually collecting that they are not out getting themselves? Can it be that no one cares about this global disaster, because that's what it feels like and that seems wrong. I suppose they tried to address that with the Washington hearing last week but most of those folks just seemed like a bunch of kooks not to be taken seriously. And what about other countries (and no I don't count the German Nazi guy).

When i read this post I realized this was exactly what I was thinking. What happened to the sense of scale? This event had absolutely no visible gravity!
On a separate note, I couldn't help but feel like the end scene with Simcoe and Simon in the car, where Simcoe says his bit about 20 mil, was EVERY BIT as corny as when Simon is first revealed saying how they causes the most destructive event...blah blah blah. Cheesy and a bad scene to end on imo.
