I think I've finally given up on this series. I loved the pilot, but I haven't found much to like since then. This episode was more of the same: another infected person trying to find a way to send out the signal and they've got to stop him. Surface and Invasion remain on the "To-Watch" list, but this one is gone.

I'm only 10 minutes into it, and you guys echo my thoughts...this one is toast. It's just not interesting. Both Invasion and Surface have me interested, I could care less about these guys....

as for the show over all.. Carla is hot but geeeesh none of these stories are going anywhere... Over and over it's just the Threshold team going all RIAA/MPAA on some one looking to send out "a signal" of some sort.. It's almost like a joke propaganda film about no free broadcast of music or something..
I mean think about.. This ep might as well have been about a pirate radio station, last ep a bootleg tape everyone was after, ep before that a P2P or any other sort of internet upload... Previews for the next ep make it REALLY look like
Spoiler:
it's just getting really, really dumb.. I keep watching being I like the cast and I like the theme of alien bad guys over all but they really need move the story in some other direction then just "Oh no, there he is stop him, wait he got away, oh there he is, stop him."

what's the deal with those guns? they shoot a "bullet" of electricity?
they aren't tasers, which have the electrodes connected to the gun by wires, and they don't shoot out an arc of electricity between the gun and target similar to the arc generated between the electrodes of a stun gun
