I watched the Pilot again just before watching Sunrise. I'm glad I did because there was stuff I'd forgotten from the Pilot. Sunrise was really good. I had to go back and listen to a few of the conversations again to make sure I picked out all of the clues they left, but I feel like I'm starting to figure out Joe Blake's story, but there are still a lot of unanswered questions that I am sure will get revealed as I watch.

Still trying to get a sense for what is going on with the two diplomats. I like that they are forcing us to figure out who the heroes and villains are. Frank and Julie are of course heroes, but my sense is that there are far more heroes lurking at the edges. This thought was borne out by the reveals near the end of the show.

The scenes with Frank and his sister's family were heartbreaking. I'm haunted by that waiting room. Not quite sure I believe they are dead, since we were told not shown. Maybe I'm just hoping.

This is one of those shows where there is so much detail in the scenes and dialogue. Watching the Pilot again was just as enjoyable. I could watch for all of the details since I already had a sense of the story. I think I may have to watch every episode twice.

I've decided against reading the book until this is done. I want to let the show surprise me. I have never said that before about any show or movie based on a book, but this show has earned that from me. There will be time enough to read the book later.
