    not much a krumholtz or boy wonder fan

    I could have eased through all the gibberish for this episode except for the incompetent j.k. simmons ... he seems to lay waste to a lot of otherwise watchable television ... and his famers insurance commercials are even worse ...

    good, but want to make sure

    Plenty of suspense, and fits in philosophically with our current problems (2019/present) with COVID. A good episode. I feel I have to weigh in on behalf of J. K. Simmons, who was panned by another reviewer. I have watched him in other castings and have seen only the character he was cast - a skilled actor doing his job. I would ask that reviewer how many senior medical staff do they know? I know many. A few are friendly, even cuddly, towards the patients, but most know better. To maintain their mental balance, senior medical staff cannot have any emotional interaction with their patients. Such a relation endangers the physician/surgeon's ability to make objective judgements on the case. So many senior medics in hospitals have a very cold, abstracted demeanour. They need to distance themselves from the pain and turmoil in their patients' lives.

    Bluffers guide to mathematics

    Absolutely stupid show for North American people who don't know anything but want to pretend they do. Not a single problem is solved with math. There is actually NO math in this show. Avoid.

    A Virus Strain...Wow

    Considering what is going on these days, this episode strikes true. When a couple pharmaceutical go at it, the chips begin to fall. A trio of researches who appear to have the best intentions cause a stir when 20 people die for some disease strain. Interesting next development.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Rainn Wilson's character (Martin Grolsch) is named after one of the most popular Dutch beers: Grolsch. Grolsch is named after a town, and it's not at all a common last name, not even in The Netherlands.
    • Goofs
      When the public health officer, Lt. Havercamp, is first introduced she is introduced as "Commander." As shown by the credits and her shoulder boards (two full-size stripes), she is a lieutenant. PHS ranks are the same as navy officer ranks.
    • Quotes

      [Don and Terry arrive at the quarantine scene and discuss the situation with Lieutenant Havercamp]

      Don Eppes: All right, well the FBI's focus will be on possible bioterrorism, where it started, a probable point of release.

      Lieutenant Lee Havercamp: Yes, we'll need to do a vector analysis.

      Terry Lake: To track the links between victims?

      Lieutenant Lee Havercamp: Yes, and to predict the spread of the illness. The complexities of the calculations require the use of a high-level mathematician, and I've asked one to come in on this case.

      Don Eppes: Actually, we deal with a top math consultant. We can get him on it immediately.

      Lieutenant Lee Havercamp: I'd love to have him on board, but this is classified on a National Security level.

      Terry Lake: Possible bioterrorism.

      Don Eppes: Right.

      Terry Lake: It'd take a month at least to get a new person cleared.

      Don Eppes: Your guy's already got clearance?

      Lieutenant Lee Havercamp: Yes, at the highest level. Here he is now. He's a professor from Cal-Sci.

      [Charlie gets out of a car and approaches them]

      Charlie Eppes: Don. Terry.

      Terry Lake: Charlie.

      Charlie Eppes: I didn't know you guys would be working on this.

      Don Eppes: So, I don't understand, you just said we need someone with top clearance.

      Lieutenant Lee Havercamp: Dr. Epps has clearance.

      Don Eppes: He does? You do?

      Lieutenant Lee Havercamp: Is there a problem here?

      Don Eppes: You just never told me.

      Charlie Eppes: I wasn't supposed to.

      Don Eppes: Right. No, Charlie is my brother and-and he's the consultant I was just telling you about. I didn't realize...

      [the victim's mother is shown being taken away on an enclosed stretcher, which cuts this conversation short, but Don and Charlie exchange looks]
