There must be something compelling about the end of the world, since nothing seems more popular in our entertainment these days than the brutal post-apocalypse....

If the first episode of The Eternaut was about the slow, creeping paranoia of questions without answers, Episode 2 is about how that paranoia spills out into violence and chaos at a moment's notice.
