355's dream dance was something. I wonder if it was just a dream or a hint at some other aspect of her pre-event life.

I actually respected Yorick trying to keep 355 from killing again.

Hero's definitely not getting any less complex.

So, I was pretty big mad that they were camping in the (fall?) in the Boston area and there were cicada sounds around them. But I also realized that in earlier episodes the soundtrack features a lot of rhythmic scritching sounds, like a squeaky mattress. Did anyone else notice either and what’s up with that?

Hm, I wonder if they were filming during the cicada event that just happened.

I have a theory. Yorick survived because he is the absolute stupidest man on the planet. Somehow this protected him.

I truly love Jennifer Romans' voice. She manages to sound frightened and in over her head and yet also competent and murderously practical at the same time.
