In comparison to the first episode of the series which was characterized mainly by plot-building, this week’s episode was much more active and filled with action. It was very interesting to see the problem-solving approach to the situation from the perspectives of both the scientists and the government officials. At the beginning of the episode, one of the team’s scientists described the science behind a nuclear reactor using chemical jargon. In my opinion, it was a very interesting scene, since it allowed me to incorporate previous knowledge from my field of study together with the plot of the series. Once again, the increasing disagreements between the scientists and the public reminded me of today’s current climate, in which many Americans still deny the veracity of the scientific research behind the virus. An aspect of this episode that I thoroughly enjoyed was the presence of a powerful female scientist playing a key role in the story, especially in a field and during a time period where women were terribly underrepresented.
