I like what most everyone is saying. Just had a couple thoughts about CJ. Why is she so stuck on needing power and fuel to keep everything going? As good of a planner as she is and all the resources she accumulated, why hasn't she thought about how people lived long before power and gas? You would think a supply run to a local library for every book you can grab from their how too section would get you info on how to build a windmill to use as a water pump, as well as building a root cellar to store food, a greenhouse to grow food year round (though CA weather is pretty conducive to long growing seasons anyway), building wind turbines for when power would REALLY be needed. Seems like all of the problems she mentions with the exception of ammo and gas for the gun trucks could be easily solved.

Which takes me to point number 2. CJ seems stressed out of her mind, and despite that she is still unwilling to share information easily. Most great leaders have a council, or cabinet of people who help them understand problems and find solutions. Rarely is the head leader the most knowledgable person in the group, they need the smarts of others, and then use their own leadership skills to implement plans. CJ seems to be always missing that council aspect. She wants to be the person who knows everything and always has the answers. Even when Pegs is trying to get inside and help CJ open up, and is offering to help, she basically has to beg CJ to let her help. And her ideas are actually good ones. If CJ would open up to the rest of the Colony (or even a select trusted few) who knows what ideas and plans they would generate?
