AFAIK they haven't ordered any new episodes, and it's kind of late for them to do that now. It's too bad too, because the show is just starting to pick up.
This episode was pretty good, I like the way they're starting to show the divisions in society. We also seem to have multiple unresolved plot threads now, but as I stated it's doubtful we'll see them resolved before the series gets pulled.

Dorian getting part of his ear chopped off.Kennex: It doesn't look that bad.
Dorian: I'm sorry could you speak up please?
The comic timing between them is great.
It looked like this episode had some tie-in to the overall arc about Kennex's ex girlfriend.

I really hope this show gets picked up. I usually lose interest in procedurals AND network sci fi shows after a few episodes, but ten episodes in I'm still enjoying this one quite a bit.

It's a good show, with potential to be a great show. The wall, the girlfriend, etc. They have good story lines going for more seasons. And with the Fringe experience of the creators, they can avoid some of the pitfalls of these kind of shows.

I hope they can get a second season ... and show them in order.

Entertainment weekly predicts a sure cancellation. http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/02/11/de...ewed-canceled/
Hope its not true but wouldn't be surprised with Fox.

This episode's case of the week had potential, but I felt like they short shafted the chromes stuff. They could have taken it a lot farther, but it ended up being a basic allegory for "rich prep school kids" we've seen a million times.
The focus back on the ex and that story was a bit jarring after last weeks episode set up a new larger story arc.

The big finding is that Minka's character is genetically enhanced. Hopefully that will mean something in future episodes.

While still good, this episode definitely felt out of order.

I do not understand why Fox continues to do this out of order nonsense. It's ridiculous every single time.
