    Not sure Todd was warning Phil on purpose, he just knew New Phil was gonna take him down and was unable to hide his emotion. Todd wears his emotions on his face.
    I don't think Carol knew and possibly only Todd knew it was coming. Still, all it takes is a couple days in town before New Phil decided to essentially murder Phil.

    Everyone except for Carol knew. Not a single one of the others were surprised when Phil took Tandy out.

    On wikipedia the episode summary and the one I assume Fox released specified Philitary left Phil for dead

    Todd was clearly warning Tandy. He will go along with it because of the others but I doubt he was happy about it.

    I don't think Todd was warning Tandy. I think he felt bad because he knew what was coming. My gut reaction is that he kept his mouth shut under threat from Phil that he'd suffer the same fate.

    I don't think Todd was threatened, but he definitely wasn't comfortable with what they were doing.

    I imagine Todd had to go along with it since he was talked into it, as it was the best for the group.

    So, in case anyone is still interested in this show, the next season will be premiering on the 27th, which is next Sunday.

    Preview bits i saw while watching reruns on Fox over the past month seem to indicate that they'll go visit Carol's home, although she's from Delaware so that would be a pretty long haul. I could see the desire to get as far away from Tuscon as possible.

    So will season 2 be focused on a post apocalyptic road trip then?

    Well I can't see the current Tuscon people being redeemable in anyway. Maybe they'll come back and find that Army jerk's gotten a little to big for his britches as more survivors show up and he exerts more control

    If we ever see or hear from them again, I bet it's just to find out they all died from something insanely simple and stupid that real-Phil would have fixed somehow just in the course of being an asshole.

    The first episode had him traveling 50 states and hoping forward a year or so in like 5 minutes. There's not much need to extend a road trip unless its for budget reasons/they can make it interesting.

    It was pretty clear that Todd still didn't want to go along with it (tellingly, although Army Phil's plan caused Carol to leave him, Todd's discomfort was what gave the game away to OG Phil a moment before the trap was sprung). He was just still reeling from the revelation that Phil had tried to kill him.

    Bump for new season.

    That was a fairly intense ending, honestly. I liked seeing Phil and Carol having fun in the White House, though.

    It's still early this season, but I'm excited that the first episode this season is more like the first couple episodes last season. Looking good so far!

    That was a good season opener. It had some pretty good jokes and set up a few plot threads for the rest of the season.

    Really good start to season two:
    I loved that they were using a B-2 bomber just to go shopping in.

    Great that we got some Space Station scenes too, I wasn't sure if they'd actually follow up on that.

    Season premiere:
    All of the caterpillars dying was kind of heart breaking. I guess that's the advantage of drawing faces on various balls.

    Great opening episode, all told. It was damned funny and set up some great potential arcs. I'm glad this show is back on.

    I thought the show really lost its way in the first season... the best parts were when Phil was alone in the first episode, and we just replayed the same sketch with him being an awful person every time a new character entered the show. New season has potential. Don't let me down, new season.

    This episode-
    So I suspected as much about them ditching Phil and then something happening with other phil. Looks like things went bad.

    I wonder if the solar panels and stuff are still there. I'm worried about the Brother he has to land in Water and await pickup so he's very right to be worried. That said he is an astronaut so at least he'll have basic survival training and maybe some engineering skills if he does meet up with his brother .

    All of the problems you described are easy.

    The real challenge?

    Scheduling conflicts.

    Every day he spends filming on set is one less day he could be spending with Olivia Wilde.

    Soyuz (the craft he'd be using) is and always has been designed exclusively for land recovery. Still, we've already established this show has nothing to do with reality.

    It can also land in water, and given he said he doesn't know how to pilot it, that seems the more likely outcome so he doesn't explode.

    I also mentioned at the season finale, this isn't like jumping out of a plane with a parachute--I'm very certain that to use the Soyuz spacecraft to return from the ISS to Earth, you need basically a cosmodrome full of Roskosmos personnel at Baikonur (or possibly another mission control center) to direct you so you don't burn up on reentry or crash into a mountain or drown. It's a pretty complicated piece of machinery. Of course, I'm pretty sure a few hundred people in Kazakhstan or Russia or Cape Canaveral didn't escape the plague, right? So if he's ever going to earth, he'll refute my point immediately.

    Then again, the few times we saw the ISS, I could have sworn there were no Soyuz spacecraft docked with it, even though there technically should be one (though not two).

    They are not remotely worried about scientific accuracy in this show.
    If anything they will plot land the capsule on top of new psychotic murderous phil right as he is about to pull the trigger on Tandy Phil.

    Has there ever been any indication as to what happened to all of the bodies? Or are they just going to completely avoid that to keep the show more light hearted?

    IIRC the show-runners answered that in an interview (I can't find the link). They won't address it in the show directly, but you should just assume the virus somehow consumes corpses until there's nothing left, no trace.

    They did make a joke in the last episode about Carol's roommate's skeleton still being in their room. Although it was medical skeleton.

    It's possible that the NASA guys realized they were doomed and they came up with a contingency plan so that Phil's brother could land on his own as their last dying mission.

    But again... scheduling conflicts.

    also if we wanted scientific accuracy, they wouldn't be driving around and phil's water thing last season wouldn't have worked

    Sure this show can't be for everyone, but it's for me.

    great misdirect on a guest star.

    Problem is they didn't even include him in the previews.

    This was a hilarious episode, though. The beach full of dead whales was both morbid and gut-busting. Some heartwarming stuff, some abject silliness, this is the essence of the show. It's much nicer to follow now that Phil isn't a complete toolbox, though i suppose he had to go through that character arc to make this part more meaningful (as Calvin and Hobbes once posited, it's easy for some "sickeningly wholesome nerd" to be good if that's all he's inclined to).
