2x06 Pas de Deux

Some payoff, lots of well-shot edge-of-your-seat action and we finally have our first monster kill!

• "Leaves changing colors and falling off the trees"—so are we getting winter at some point? Do the creatures hibernate? And they're going to lose all their crops for real if the cold happens.
• Bullets don't do anything to them but Boyd was able to cut it in the throat. He even grabbed him by the throat and for a second there the monster looked afraid and that was before the worms entered. Are the monsters helpless when you attack them, unafraid? Knives work that's for sure. Monster wasn't bleeding at all though.
• I hope they do an autopsy on that monster. Also, we'll find out why they hate the sun. Will it burst into flames?
• Loved the ballerina. Her existence means that she was probably present in the Martin scenes. Was she the one that threw the rope down the hole to Boyd?
• Confirmation that the worms were keeping Martin alive to the point where his body was decomposed and still kept alive. Transfering the worms for sure killed him. To that point, doesn't it mean that the worms won't let the monster die sinse Boyd transfered them? Will it wake up in human form in the next episode?

Gee, maybe they'd have enough food if people hadn't been eating and drinking as if there's an unlimited supply. Seriously, the amount that's made in the diner is ridiculous. In a situation like this, everyone should NOT be full every day. Start training people's bodies to run on less food, and it'll last a lot longer. They also need to make better use of that forest.

Why would they not have emergency medical supplies at Colony House?? The more that happens there, the more it becomes clear Colony House was an absolutely terrible idea that no one fully thought through.
Wait, hold on. You mean to tell me the clinic is only a 30-second drive away from Colony House? Yet they kept Ellis bleeding out for over 20 minutes on a couch? Whuh?

They finally have one of the effers, but it's dead, so I doubt they'll get many answers from dissecting the body. This episode started off as a soap opera, but things finally started happening later on. My hope for this season is that we'll have one major question answered. Just one. Please. People can only enjoy a mystery for so long until it wears on them. If the writers just throw us a bone once in a while, it'll be enough to sustain the show for the 15 seasons it's obviously trying to go for...
