I do think that we should have a bit of discussion about the fact that no one at the tower answered Michael's call. It's really got me worried. My fingers were literally crossed as I listened, and upon hearing no response a lump of worry formed in my throat. Saul is my favorite character, and if the tower were to fall under attack with him in his current condition, I don't see much hope for his survival.

Marcus showed that there are a few outposts scattered around the Colony. The sense of just how huge and put together this place is tells me that an assault could be disastrous. I think the best solution is for Michael to overthrow Marcus. It is unfortunate that his current situation prevents him from swaying the people, but how knows? Maybe if they hold a public execution or lashing, Michael will get his forum for overthrowing Marcus. I can see the Colony, under Michael's leadership, being a replacement for the tower.

I do believe the fact that dogs do not get infected means that this could have been a biological weapon designed by man to specifically target humankind. Maybe it was terrorists, or religious extremists, but I don't think the outbreak was accidental, simply because it seemed to occur simultaneously here in the states and over in Hawaii.

Crap, I wonder what will happen if the Tower tries to respond to Michaels call now? Will one of the outposts pick up? Hopefully not. I'd prefer that kind old man in charge of all the electrical shtuff answers. He seems reasonable.
