Featured reviews
I think they are dead. They died as result of road traffic crashes.
There is no bad people to kill other people. Sara Myers isn't a criminal. She has killed people due to disperation but she isn't a cold blood criminal.
Maybe they are in the purgatory. A purgatory created specially for the drivers.
There are many clues which supports this hypothesis:
1. They aren't trying to escape from the city.
2. They have hallucinations.
3. The monsters can't be killed with a gun.
4. Main road is a circle.
5. There are conflicts with the laws of physics.
6. The weather does not change.
7. People don't get sick.
I think the people which are leaving here bad reviews don't understand what means a mystery movie. Them are prefering Supergirl where anything is clear ))

This ep. Starts off pretty good. Starts off with a death. Of course it's one of the bus people. Since we know they're all mostly fodder. Mostly. +1 Star.
Attitude gets a little bit carried away. And he tosses away keys to the van. Now...I thought that was stupid, because any of 3 people could have seen where they landed and just got them right away. -1 Star.
Que Sera Sera.
Sara tries to have a conversation with Kenny. And the annoying kid strikes again during a conversation at the Colony House.
In the van, the group seems way more confident than they used to be about having the curtains open and looking out at the THINGS after Dark. And Mari has an episode in front of Kristi. And the van people are hit with a dark turn and decide to make a break for it. Boyd again firing his gun uselessly at the Things. Then he sees his wife. How did Donna get the van going if they didn't have the keys? Dumb -1 Star
And Attitude is making a run for it. Oh no, CICADAS!!! Those CGI Cicadas surely would have made a decent meal when they were crawling down his throat. -1 Star
Okay Sara gets out Boyds extra gun and plays a little Russian Roulette. I like that ! +1 Star. And then it appears the imaginary cicadas are coming for three people and Julie is going to the third!
Really not impressed. 3/10.

8 stars for those 20 minutes alone because it made the episode feel like an oasis in the dessert of poor writing.
Seriously, it was like taking a breath of fresh air.
Again, those first 20 minutes had the best characters in them. No poor dialogue, no random decisions.
And it's weird, the way the episode starts of is like a different writer came to the rescue of who ever wrote the previous episode.
I swear, it went FROM being almost a dead end story to having the defibrillators punched to MAX to try save the corpse of plot holes and inconsequential drama.
I wish... I wish Season 2 had more like those 20 minutes and more of Victor.

Again, 46 minutes of screaming and not a single step made.
Season 2 it is done for the money and to prolong it. Unfortunately its done on the viewers expense. Expectations are not met.
I took a paper and a pen and noted what was new in this episode. Nothing. Nothing happened.
The second mistake was that they decided to have a week and episode release.
Honestly, i am about to stop watching. I think a new season is out of the question if they keep feeding this nonsense.
Imagine that at the end it becomes clear that all this place is a dream or just some alien monster plot. The disappointment!
Season 2 is bad. As a thrill, as plot development, because of drama filler used to cover the lack of genre trops.

Wow. What a total derailment of a show in the 2nd season after such promise. Another episode and still more mystery and guessing. Unfinished plots everywhere. The girl who came back who killed her brother is unwatchable and possibly one of the worst actresses I've ever seen. Now it's giant killer locusts flying around killing people or not killing people ? I don't know where to start with this convoluted mess of a season. I think that weird nursery rhyme about it comes for 3 has to do with those locusts who killed the annoying guy who was pissing everybody off. The guys wife who was in bed and now it's either the daughter or the drug addict girl who will be the 3rd one ?? Those "silver bile bullets" lol. Guess those were another dead end. The music came on the radio signal which stopped the creatures who we still know less about than the very first episode. Why, what, when, all questions still a total mystery. I'd say that was good if we had an inkling as to a reason in 18 episodes. Let's just say the finale better be some of the best television I've seen to save this titanic of a show.. lastly, the writers are the ones from Lost and I didn't know that until recently. We all shoulda known from that and saved ourselves in the beginning from this nonsense. The budget must have been under a million dollars for this because the acting and filming location etc.. are nothing special to be nice. I'm now curious as to how badly they will polish this turd off. What a disappointment!!

- TriviaThe episode takes its name from the analogy Kristi tells Ellis that they learn in medical school: no matter how much they think they know about the world, at the end of the day it's all one big mystery floating in space around a ball of magic fire that keeps them warm from a million miles away.
