“The Drive”

This episode felt like it was setting up the bigger things moving forward.

Juliette getting the Algorithm to approve two people to go to the other silo and retrieve the children. Of course, Juliette wants someone to go to plug off the gas. She agrees to resume taking the memory drugs if they can bring the children back.

This whole things feels as if both of them are lying to adjust their own plans.

We spent a chunk of time with the idea that Knox and Shirley would be the people sent to the other silo, but it did not look like they are heading out, which made their entire conversation moot.

We get some good work from Camille this week. She is really our main antagonist and she has shown more depth than one would expect. When she coldly told the Algorithm she had already placed the Vitamin D in the water supply, it was chilling.

The past story with the controlled car uses the time to learn more about Helen and passing the time until they arrived with Senator Rosalind Thurman asking them if they want to save the world.

Again, this feels as if it were all done to set up the rest of the season, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. I hope this will lead to a real banger of a second half of the season.
