Just watched the first three episodes. I'm really enjoying it.
It has characters I can empathise with and aliens which are just scary and nasty enough. They also look pretty good as well.
I love seeing Noah Wyle in the lead role...he's a good choice.
The chicken thing...unless I missed something...it wasn't mentioned where the chicken came from did it? It could be tinned..they seem be scavenging for most of their food that way. But even if they found some live chickens, I couldn't see them being kept for eggs, or kept at all. It's not that easy...not all chickens lay for a start. The survivors are hungry so, sorry,
the chickens have to die! I'm sure it'll be the same if they come across any other livestock.
In fact thinking about it, I'm surprised thay don't go out hunting for animals for food. Maybe they do. There must be livestock scattered about the country as well as wild animals.
I like that, so far, the show's not gone down the overly dark route. It's just right. Relentless misery's something that I don't want to watch.
It's a bit unrealistic allowing Pope to live....but he's a great addition as a character and I'm sure he'll be fighting along side the others soon.

. although third ep, would be nice to get more details about the state of water and electricity BUT again, the state the characters are in seem to reflect in the story line, which is great. Personally still waiting for the wow (the "I so didn't see that coming" plot twist) but with all the good sci fi coming to an end (cough-SGU), its hard to bounce back: Expectations are ridiculous!!
