Okay here goes......

• Last season many of us were wondering if they were going to get a "theme" song. The answer to that question is, nope. But I really thought it was so cool they way they faded from the music that was playing at the end of the opening scene into the title opener. Very nice touch indeed.
• Already the tension between Madison and Travis is evident. I wonder if the relationship will survive season 2?
• Strand - well just every scene he was in was awesome. He has such a presence about him That man's voice could melt icebergs people.
• Strand's three rules: Rule 1-My boat; Rule 2-MY boat; Rule 3-My goddamn boat
• While Alicia chatting away on the radio was annoying at first, upon further reflection I could actually see this happening with a 17 year old. Our kids are growing up in a world where everything they want is at their fingertips almost instantly. They are rarely given reason to learn the task of reserve and that things in general are finite. So with that in mind, of course the last thing on her mind is the life of a battery. In her world, that battery is easily obtainable. She has yet to find herself in a position where items such as clothing, medicine, food, water, batteries, etc are not readily available to her at the drop of a hat or a quick trip to the corner market
• I am not sure if it is a strange father/son or brother/brother type relationship that is developing between Nick and Strand, but I am enjoying their dynamic. Hoping that it is explored more.
• Speaking of Nick - without a doubt, he is my favorite character. Like every scene he is in. And that scene when he finds himself in the hull of that boat and comes face to face with a walker. I have yet to put my finger on his reaction, but I loved that it was not a reaction of instantaneous fear, but more of a strange curiosity. **Question** - any ideas how that log book he snatched from the wreckage will come into play?

All in all a good episode that did a great job of laying the foundation for the season. Looking forward to next Sunday
