Watched this morning, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm glad they've wrapped up the plot that led to the end of the first Season in the first two episodes of Season 2, and that they're all now ready for their next adventure.
I was expecting a death (cause ya'know; it was going to be someone) though I didn't expect it to be that person. But yeah, an enjoyable return from my perspective, though I hope the second Season takes a slightly different direction to the first. Didn't really appreciate the random episode of the week thing they had going on with that.

Please kill off the Captain's daughter, she is soooo annoying.
It could have just done with a "Previously..." section at the start to remind us of all of the nonsense from season one.
I think that it was a mistake to take the State Troopers and power plant people prisoner though...
Presumably back to a Trek-style Mission of the Week show where a mysterious enemy appears, a few red shirts die and the captain/doctor/engineer saves the ship just in the nick of time.
Now we have a cult to deal with, just love how everything has to be brought down to the level of religion. 'We've all been saved because we've been chosen by God'. rolleyes
Don't they understand how viruses and immunity works? Well this is deep south America.
Yeah, quite disappointed too. I just can't see them as this big threat, as you have a navy warship with highly trained soldiers vs crazed civilians with what little weapons they have, it's just not plausible for them to be able to take out the ship.
Maybe not plausible but the "ship has been taken over by a bunch of crazies" is a staple plot line for many Cult shows. It happened every few weeks in each Trek series.
What is with all the smiley faces? If you are going to be a dick just own it.
I wouldn't worry too much, I expect them to be the monster of the week rather than the big bad.
Booyah!!!
Boo, bad British guys now.
Not really interested in battles on ships, episodes. They don't move the story along.
Some with very bad accents !
So I learnt today that there are hospital ships. I thought they were a bit quick to want to abandon that ship, even before they knew it had been rigged to explode. Surely it would be worth keeping even with the lab wrecked to have somewhere to treat people and fix the lab at a later date? Of course it must be hard enough filming with one ship, let alone two.
At least they are building up the bad guys to be a bit more than a noddy cult. Brian F O'Byrne will need to work on the accent though.
So where are all of the American nuclear subs?
God the accents are annoying. Do they have to use American actors for English characters (I read somewhere it is contractual or union regs).
Not keen on the whole 'Moby Dick' thing. I want to see more of society breaking down due to the virus rather than the ship and its crew chasing down a bad 'Dick Van Dyke'.
More Mockney than Cockney IMO.
Looking back at the first time they met I'm not sure Chandler spent enough time looking at Sorenson to recognise him again.
