Where is it going?

OK we first started watching this series because it seemed a little different. Around episode 5, we started getting a little bored, after all there wasn't much new stuff happening, just the same old, "LOST" sort of scenario with lots of secrets and who really cares right? OK, I was wrong, starting last episode and this one, the story is really starting to pick up. The interpersonal interactions between characters is clearly defined with some very memorable moments. I can't emphasize enough how interesting this show is finally getting. Its certainly building itself up for the break and will be one of those shows that you will be waiting for next year. Oh and a little thing I've noticed, the Morse code at the start of every episode seems to be different. Will be waiting for the DVD version so I can listen more closely.

A new low

AND we're diving head first into... RACISM! Remember how they happily harvested AMERICAN corn with worms in it? But Chinese food? Meh. The "good son" just picks up a well-packed piece of fish with two fingers and throws back into the box like it was something disgusting. "Dried fish stuff" he says as if it was something so revolting that he can't even say it. Mind you, "people need food", his daddy-mayor says. Hell no! TRUE Americans won't eat food that comes from the country that may or may not be the enemy in the war they may or may not have started or ended. Flyers with Asian women, one old, one young, holding an Asian baby, and saying "Don't fight. China is your friend" is simply disgusting.

BS-du-jour: A farmer guy drops his rifle and... runs to confront the bad guys. Gets his fundament handed over to him BIGLY. Would anyone of you do that?

BS-du-jour 2: Grampa Johnston refers to the planes that dropped them supplies as "Vietnam-era planes" as if it's something ancient and obsolete. Two problems with that. One, Vietnam war spanned 20 years: 1955-1975. And two, nearly EVERYTHING USAF fly right NOW, 15 years after this show was made, is from "Vietnam era". F15, F-16, all transport aircraft, tankers, bombers, recon planes, helicopters, first flew BEFORE 1975. Heck, B52 first flew in 1955!!! History grade - Fail.
