Okay, see? Now that's better.
Now that's definitely better than last week.
It turns out that Heather is awesome (she was already pretty cool, but knowing all that stuff about the wiring was wicked), and I think I love Robert to pieces. Yeah, his family life seems a little off to me, but I love the fact that he didn't tell the mayor the exact nature of just how bad the attacks were. That shot of the red push pins at the end and his hand just picking them out of the drawer over and over was creepy.
And thank God the radiation is finally arriving. Granted, I'm not sure exactly how far they're going to take the poisoning, but it's cool to see everybody but Robert just completely out of their element.
The rolling hills in the background are throwing me off, though. Dude, I'm not even from Kansas and they don't look right.
I'm still touch and go on Emily, though. Just when I think she's cool by stealing that gun, she goes and does something stupid like flipping through the radio like that. (Which saved her ass, okay, but she didn't notice the faux cops having theirs? You'd think you'd check that before you try something like that.)
I like Bonnie, too. I think she's adorable.
Also, Dale is a puppy. A dorky little puppy.
And that preview for next week? The shot of the crashed planes lying all over made me squeak.

Here's the thing that gets me about the nuclear attacks, though. That there wasn't any warning.
If they were flying in from another country, it would make sense that the U.S. would spot them before they got here, respond in kind, and give alerts to its citizens as a warning through radio and television. But they didn't. At the time of the mushroom clouds, there were news reports about Congressional meetings and presidential announcements on the radio. Nothing about an oncoming nuclear attack.
My guess? A synchronized terrorist attack on the ground in each city involved. I'm not exactly sure how you'd do that with atomic weaponry, but that's just my shot in the dark.
