This episode and this show is pretty typical of a CW teen drama (of which this is one) - there's some teen romance, drama, and many fights.
What sets the whole show apart for me is that it doesn't seem afraid to wipe some people out, even if they're known or liked characters. Something that makes shows like "the walking dead" and "lost so watchable is that you don't know when somebody will suffocate or get blown out into space.
What makes this particular episode so good to me was the nonchalant addition of the new "grounder" character (played by the great ricky whittle of "american gods") - what the people who are still alive on earth are called by the people from the ark in space. Anyway, he's a handsome sexy english male model without a trace of bodyfat and beautiful teeth living in a post-nuclear wasteland. So, of course, they string him up and strip him down to show off his sweaty perfect muscular physique. It's pretty damn silly and i laughed at this plot contrivance. Overall, though, i'm enjoying the series and can't wait to see where it leads since i found out there are 6 more seasons of this stuff.
