The Medical Examiner is wearing a full-protection suit. We can hear the chilling &#8216;crunch&#8217; as the corpse&#8217;s arm is lowered by the M.E. as he gets ready to do the autopsy. The corpse is remarkably preserved from having been in the frozen ground for over ninety years.

His sppech becomes worse as he stands up, disoriented, gripping his head and we can sense he is in pain. He then collapses to the floor.

The flurry of activity is realistic enough for anyone having a brain bleed or stroke. This is what the formal diagnosis is for President Martinez. a brain bleed or hemorrhagic stroke. The Executive Branch are discussing how to keep this on a low-key. Not to panic, not to look vulnerable.

Blake tells the agent that Martinez told him Jarvis was responsible for this, and he is inclined to believe him. &#8220;He thinks Jarvis did something to the coffee&#8221; Blake says. Amid arguments of &#8220;The President&#8217;s suffering brain trauma&#8230;&#8221; Blake succeeds in stalling the swearing in of Jarvis as President for now.

Blake returns to his office later, he looks dejected and very sad. He wonders, perhaps if there was something&#8230; a little bit of tangible evidence he might have missed! Surely no one could be this good at hiding their nefarious actions!

The &#8220;Spanish Flu&#8221; wiped out millions of people in 1918-1919. Although there is no vaccine against this, it is less threatening these days with modern medicine and what we know in epidemiology. It seems to me, this disease would be more of a threat in underdeveloped countries which lack the medical prowess needed to treat and contain it. I feel they plan to modify this disease to be even more resistant to any known treatments of this day.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Leila, of course grew up on this world and feels a loyalty to the native people of Earth. What would any of us do if we were to discover our parentage were not of this world? Michael seems to understand his daughter&#8217;s loyalties being torn, but he is about the survival of his people &#8211; including her. Perhaps his younger daughter, Samantha is so young he has left her in the care of others on the outside as she will not worry or be upset right now. It will be interesting to see where the story goes when and if the aliens do infect this world with the disease. I also think Michael, deep down, is concerned about the native population, yet he must remain loyal to Sophia and their own people<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I missed seeing Simon Lee in this episode. As far as we know he is still detained in that medical house in the community. Perhaps Sophia does not want him dead, but will force him to watch the &#8216;genocide&#8217; he is so sorely against. She will punish him for his treason, but I don&#8217;t feel she wants to actually take his life. I also can understand Sophia. She is duty bound to save her people from their extinction, yet doesn&#8217;t feel a total disregard for the native people here on this world. I do not feel feel she is brought any joy in doing what she feels she must. Perhaps using a disease to winnow the population is in her eyes, a fair thing to do. Those who can survive the sickness will, and they will most likely be allowed to live on in co-existence with the new arrivals from NCG-253. We will have to wait and see!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">The Event Returns Monday May 2, 2011 with &#8220;Us Or Them&#8221; (Sneak Peek below).
