Is anyone else watching this? It’s only 2 episodes in, but so far I am really liking it. At first glance it looks like it’s going to be some vampire show, but it’s not. I’d love to have someone to discuss it with!
The little girl girl who plays Amy is a great little actress. I love her character, she’s realistic in that she can be sassy but also vulnerable. Not too much of either. A good balance for her character’s age & life experiences.
Also has the guy who played Desmond on “Lost” & Mark-Paul Gosselar (sp?) & there are some other faces I recognize from other shows, but I didn’t know the actor’s names.

I'm watching. I like it so far, but some of the changes they've made are odd. I've read the (massive) trilogy so I know what's going on - I wonder if people who haven't read the books find it easy to follow, because I think the first episode was a little scattered. This week's episode had better flow. And it's not a typical "vampire" story, for sure.
I'll stick with it and see how it goes, mainly because I loved the books so much.

I haven’t read the books. I know if I read a book then see a movie, I’m always disappointed in the movie adaptation.
I hope you end up liking the show!

I’m watching having read the books too. I hope Lacey survives given she’s in her own home with a doctor present. Amy’s comical quips make me truly laugh. I so hope this show isn’t too bizarre so it survives past these first 10 episodes.

Lacey is alive! Not quite trusting this backstory for Babcock. Is she showing Clark the truth, or what she wants him to see? The Brad/Amy team work continues to be on point.

I was so glad to find out Lacey didn't die! I agree about Shauna...I told my husband, what jury would give someone the death penalty if her story is true? It wasn't premeditated, she was sexually abused by her stepfather, her mother knew about it & then accused her of making it "easy" for him - about an EIGHT year old! I hate that Tim is getting into Carter's head! I don't want him to be a bad guy! I hope Amy can counteract that!

I find I get more out of the show if I wait and watch two episodes at a time.

So good!!! Although I can't believe that wife would be interested in Fanning who wears a turtleneck and just bought a sports car.
And that Doctor, I was shouting along with the tv....'You did!' when he was surprised that he wasn't controlling the vamp, the vamp was controlling him!

I also didn’t believe Jonas knew that Elizabeth slept with Fanning. There’s no way in hell he’d want anything to do with him ever again after that. No way Josè. Also, that orderly has been freaking out for weeks. I’d have quit that job & moved as far away as possible. But now he’s fully under Fanning’s control. I can’t believe he brought Elizabeth there & injected her! OMG! That other Dr has been so arrogant since the beginning, I knew it wouldn’t end well for him. I can’t stand Clark either! Shauna is gonna get him! And it’s his own fault. I can’t wait for next week!

Looks as if that DOD Director is trying to have Brad and Lila killed.

^ I can’t stand him. They even made him look as slimy as he is! I keep thinking he’s gonna become one of vampires ( or whatever they are!)
As soon as all those vampires died when the one that bit them did, I knew they weren’t going to be able to kill Fanning without killing Amy. But I don’t know why they don’t just kill all the other ones.
I guess we wouldn’t have a show then, lol

Gutted for Brad & Lila. Liking the Carter/Amy connection. He’s preparing her to face Fanning. Brad is racking up quite the body count. Where is Lacey? Hopefully, we’ll see more of her role next season.

Once again, I am so impressed by what a fabulous actress the little girl who plays Amy is! That kid has a bright future! It looks like Carter isn't one of Fanning's "family", but it also looks like he's gonna have a huge struggle ahead of him, because he wants to help Amy, but he's in fear of retribution from Fanning. I was so happy Elizabeth chose death over Fanning. But you know he's going to be more enraged than ever now! Next week - OMG! Looks like that orderly who injected Elizabeth lets all the virals out! How would he even still have a job there after he injected her? I know, TV land. I can't believe there's only two episodes left?!?!?

Nooo, only one episode left! Everything is about to go sideways and they're going to leave us hanging. Guilder is such a slimeball. I wonder if his character is going to go the book route or do they have another plan...and I'm still not real happy about how they've changed the character of Babcock - he was seriously scary in the books - but I guess the network wanted to have this no-mance between Babcock and Richards. Eh, whatever. Next week should be crazy.

So Babcock was a guy in the books?
Interesting.
I hate that there’s only one episode left too! Just when things are blowing up!
I love how Amy is so sassy with Fanning. She sees right through him. I’m glad Carter prepared her for it (as much as he was able to)

Snipped from wiki: Yeah, Babcock was creepy as hell when I read the books. Carter is the only innocent/likable one of the bunch. I love his connection with Amy. Has this been renewed yet for another season? It better be...

Season finale was so good! Lacey came back and worked with Jonas to find a solution, but to no avail. I wonder if people bitten and then healed live longer? Maybe we’ll see Brad & Lila again. Clark & Babcock is all kinds of wrong. The world acted to protect itself, and Amy is a viral slaying badass in the future. I hope Fox lets this story continue to unfold as the writers planned.

This was so good! Can someone explain two things to me though?
1). Why do some of those attacked by the virals turn into more virals & others that are attacked die? I'm a little confused
2). So, what did Babcock do that caused Clark to live, yet not become a viral? I re-watched that twice & all I caught was that she said "we each get one person" but I don't even know exactly what she was referring to.
Thanks!

I re-watched that twice & all I caught was that she said "we each get one person" but I don't even know exactly what she was referring to. Thanks! 1. that was confusing as it looks everyone bitten turns into a viral, is there still blood left I don't know. I did note that Lacey made sure she gave each one a head shot when she showed up at the hotel. 2. didn't Babcock say they were blood connected? and that each viral is allowed one person? again not sure what that means. Just finished the season finale episode 9 & 10. Kudos to the network for not stretching out a story for 22 episodes when it is not needed. I was surprised Lila didn't take the anti viral with her when she left to try to get to the CDC. Was a nuclear bombing really the answer?
