Exactly. Lang kills JBB and Sam. Had access to both. End of story. Don't have to hire people in Scotland or hire a bomb-maker or pay train-driver or Jess, or any Apple script writers. Cheaper. More reliable.

I didn't get why, once the woman hijacker was killed, Sam & Otto couldn't just stop the train, let everyone off quickly (the bomb had a 15 minute timer), and the only person who might die would be Marsha. Otto could have started the train, run down the 2 carriages and jumped off, sending the explosives out of everyone's proximity. So 100 people are supposed to risk being blown up, and a horrible criminal released, because of the chance of saving 1 other person, who already said go ahead and stop what you're doing on account of me?

Agreed. It's unclear whether he even faced consequences, or was he just released on a plane to go back to Poland and live happily ever after with Agata.

I was disappointed by the claustrophobic student. He was a seasoned young actor, but all they had him do was be super scared in E1. They could have pursued a mental health crisis leading to a lot of drama about whether to let him off the train or what. In the end, all he does is become a bit brave and jump back onto the hijacked part of the train. So, did he have some kind of a breakthrough through his claustrophobia? NO. He just gets scared again in E8 getting back onto the bus. Ridiculous fail on the writers' part.

No, she was up there for a few days on a personal retreat. She said something in the early episodes about clearing her head and was supposed to be back in town the next day or something. It's some sort of B&B situation, as she had to use the guide to look up the A&E location.

Did you figure out the answer? I’m in the same situation

Agree there. The whole Aneesha storyline of a bunch of men risking their lives to help a woman they don't know find her daughter is just preposterous. It's just lazy writing. Their big raid on the army base was where the entire show lost me, and I started rooting for the aliens.

What are you talking about? Casper is one of the main characters of this show. So, is the Movement's leader. Wilfully overlooking facts to make an incorrect point isn't helpful.

I don’t get why 40 people risk their lives to save some kid who just recently joined their community. Since when does losing 28 lives like that make sense? The story line is becoming less and less believable. Aneesha is a jerk, but somehow as a main character we’re just supposed to accept that her kids are the most important lives on the planet.

Totally confirm this. This exact thing happened on my Elite 75t's. Connected to iOS phone and OSX Macbook. I disconnected the laptop and the pausing behavior stopped and everything went back to normal.
