I know! There are so many questions, it's bugging me a bit... And I'm having a concentration problem as well.

I liked the episode but as @Diezel said, i cant give it 100% of my attention all the time, altho i wasn't really bored.

@fdesmedt to answer your questions i guess we'll have to wait and find out in the next episodes, they clearly state that the resistance doesn't know a thing about the aliens.

I'm just not convinced by the aliens. There are to many questions in my mind that bug me:
- why are they naked? don't they have some armour or techstuff on them?
- if they don't care about hunting down the humans (how can they not find this large mass of people?), why do they put traps?
- ...
I cannot get sucked into the story with all these fundamental questions, it doesn't feel real at all.

I feel the storyline / drama has the same superficiality problem Walking Dead had. A few interesting scenes saw the hour together, but I can't say the show can grab my attention consistently.

Solid followup... It looks like the season will be good, based off from the promos I have seen and the direction so far. Maybe nothing that special, but a good summer show is always nice to have.
