It really was Umbrella Corp!

If we’ve learned one thing tonight, it’s that German WWII music wafting through the halls of an abandoned building is never a good sign. I can’t decide if my predictions coming true about many of the details seen tonight is a good or a bad predictor of the talents from the River writing team. I prefer to think I’m a secret genius and/or psychic.

We’ve got zombies! (Yeah!) A return of Rabbit! (Meh) A gruesome death of Rabbit! (Double Yeah!) And Emmet Cole wants to know if he had a great funeral…

I’ll be back with a full recap in a few days, but in the meantime please check out last week’s recap of Doctor Emmet Cole, and leave some comments with your observations too!

CannedGinger is a techie by day, and TV binge watcher by night.  She can't resist most crap Bravo throws at the audience, and prefers Conan to Leno.  If you are one of her customers calling for support, she'll be listening to WTF on the iPod in one ear -- but you might not be able to tell.  She prefers cats to people most days, because they're more honest.  Bring on the worst TV you can imagine, and she will just enjoy it more since she grew up on a steady diet of MST3K and cheese.  Umm...nice stilton!

    I was really impressed with last weeks episode only to be let down with this weeks. The ending (trying to avoid apoilers) was completely over the top and ridiculous! I thought they had turned the corner then they threw in the crazy!

    I laughed out loud at Lincoln’s lightning-fast absorption of the research being done at Umbrella Corp. And I loved how his explanation was pretty much: “It’s basically your standard zombie-causing virus.”

    Also, if Lena gives ONE MORE “WTF” look to the cameraman I am going to reach into my tv and smack her. We’ve got it; you’re supposed to be being filmed ON THE SHOW.

    The zombie thing was a little much. I am kind of disappointed they found Emmett.

    What’s gotten too ridiculous for me is the characters’ “Whatever” reactions to all the supernatural events. I’m sorry but the fact that Emmet was found IN A COCOON in a building FULL OF ZOMBIES should have been more momentous to these idiots than finding Emmett. I can’t be scared by things that no one onscreen is bothered by.

    @maryedith – I thought the same thing about Lincoln all of the sudden explaining what they were doing after watching 2 seconds of video!

    And yeah, that cocoon was too much for me.
