I think Ariel had hepatitis or something, that's why his blood was no good.

I also don't know who's in the box, but I didn't think they left anywhere to go for a second series really. I thought Jamie was like a Moses figure who lead them to the promised land, but was denied entry.

diddl · 06/12/2015 09:11

Contaminated, yes that makes more sense than not a match.

Part of me was thinking that Jamie had to die so that the others could live!

Need to re watch the episode where the grandmother captures Ariel and tests his blood

Like the theory with Moses rather than the messiah which would make the little girl his descendant and therefore the second coming maybe.

Or perhaps we're all over thinking it!

"Isn't the point that, in the end, it is better to die outside than live in that bunker"

Yes-the bunker with a high percentage of killers!

Sutton killed her husband, Bronagh Gallagher's character killed her partner, didn't she? Ariel killed his partner, Rhonda killed the truck driver, Leanne various! and Scotty & Gaines killed POTUS.

What happened to the First Lady?

And the 15 women in the bunker?

Are they supposed to inseminate & give birth by themselves?

RockNRollNerd · 06/12/2015 18:15

I loved the ending, I thought it was perfect - exciting, dark and it resolved in that we now know how they all got the bunker and what their story was. I liked that it left us hanging with a bit of a twist sometimes that's the best way. I don't think another series would work and really hope they don't do one as I said up thread am still scarred by when they brought Green Wing back after a similar dark 'open' ending.

The USA bunker had stored sperm and a gynae specialist.

diddl · 06/12/2015 20:19

"a gynae specialist."

Well that's something!

When you think of all the skills that would be needed to start a society again!

RomComPhooey · 06/12/2015 21:32

iIRC, all the baby-incubator women were also experts in their own fields, chosen for their knowledge of engineering, medicine & the like.

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/12/2015 22:51

Finally seen. Avoided till now

Some said they thought was ariel and not JAMIE in there :(

Tho not sure how he managed to swap over

Yes saw the man hope cover and was tbh a tad amazed that dying hubby and Jamie both outside survived ...,,,,,,,

Havnt a clue who is in the box

Thought by now that Jude would have re risen :(

SoupDragon · 07/12/2015 08:21

Ariel "mugged" Jamie whilst J was freeing the wheel on the truck.

SoupDragon · 07/12/2015 08:23

I think most deaths would occur due to the subsequent dust cloud which could cause a ice age and subsequent loss of food.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/12/2015 13:15

Thanks soup

You always have the answer :)

SoupDragon · 07/12/2015 15:47

Sadly I only know answers to useless questions. :)

LIZS · 09/12/2015 20:21

We caught up last night. I liked the ambiguity of the end but dd was distraught! Naked skinny Mat Jamie and smug Arial with evil grin , what's not to like!

diddl · 10/12/2015 20:45

When Jamie, Paula & Dave were burying Mary, Celine & Father Jude turned up & dave said"who ordered the strippers?"

What was the musi played?

ingeniousidiot · 10/12/2015 22:17

diddl if you can tell me which episode I can check

doistayordoigo · 10/12/2015 23:42

The pregnant lady didn't have Ariel's child as Ariel had left year's ago with Hawkwind aka Layla...that's why pregnant lady was so annoyed.

diddl · 11/12/2015 07:04

ingenious-it's episode 6 about 10mins in.

Have looked at Imdb & other places & can't find anything.

It's a really recognisable intro or riff & it'sdriving me mad.

Keep thinking Elvis ostello but can't find it!

SoupDragon · 11/12/2015 11:13

Peaches by the Stranglers :)

I was all ready to Shazam it on my phone but knew it anyway!

diddl · 11/12/2015 11:25

Oh thank you!

You are a Star

Kept thinking it was watching the detectives.

Well I knew it wasn't but the lyric fittedBlush

Would never have got it as the only Stranglers I know is Golden BrownBlush

Flowers
SoupDragon · 11/12/2015 11:28

I did have to check the name as all I could remember was the line "walking on the beaches looking at the peaches" :)

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/12/2015 16:18

love shazam :)

MyGastIsFlabbered · 28/01/2016 09:13

I'm very late to this party but am watching at the moment, don't want to post spoilers in case anyone else comes along but I've just got to the end of episode 8(?) and I'm devastated. I'm trying to work out how to post something cryptic but people who have seen it will understand. I just had such high hopes for FJ. And Rob Lowe phwoar!!

VagueIdeas · 28/01/2016 21:06

Don't worry about posting something cryptic, this thread is full of spoilers and the finale was ages ago!

MyGastIsFlabbered · 28/01/2016 21:39

Gutted by the ending, Ariel really pissed me off, I can't believe they let him live Angry
