Very good stuff. Some massively intriguing questions of morality to ponder but veering on the side of good, which is my personal preference. Saying that, some of the decisions made and subtle moments were jarring and not too realistic, for example Tom's misbehaviour being followed up by chivalry to somehow make it more palatable. It was really good to generally see actual consequences, best of all in Sarah's reactions to her personal horrors. These dramas were the best handled but worse were the convenient moments where plot just seemed to favour our heroes, first in the discovery of food and drink then in the culmination of events in Abby's return, though the paranoia present here presents us with a whole new fear.Regarding the other main plot it was excellent to see a furthering of the storyline n the secret lab and this led to some truly great mining of horrifying imagery and themes such as the infected victims and the horrible dawning of realisation of how bad things are out there, well represented through the city this time.
As a whole the things which make this show great are totally present though it has to be more careful with it's own science: in terms of fictional virus and actual scriptwriting. Still next week looks like a cracker, returning us again to our morality debate and a group of people from last year. Can't wait.
