Elaine White's Life in Books

This part is told in Nevaeh's POV again, which is surprising. I was a little annoyed that the whole cancer thing led to the inevitable (and stereotypical) "Stage 4 is death" concept. I've had Stage 4 cancer myself and am still here, so maybe it's just a personal niggle of mine.

However, I felt that a lot of Nevaeh's story was rehashed from the previous POV in episode 3, which is part of the reason I only gave it 3 stars. Most of her story was stuff we already knew and have been told, so I'm not sure why it warranted another episode in her POV.

I was also a little disappointed at the way Loki was treated and acted. His angry is natural, but no one was acting that way. And why doesn't anyone recognise that Holden is a natural leader? Why does no one mention the fact that he warned them this would happen? It bothers me, as Umta is the only one who can see that he's the real leader, though no one is giving him the respect of that position.

I didn't get the whole anger thing from Inez, at the beginning, either. It was very clear that there were a lot of injured people on the train, so why be a bleating cow about "what's going on" and complain every two seconds? The fact that Teddy still believes this is part of his condition is also a little unbelievable, considering the unlikeliness of him imagining this kind of scenario.

For me, the story just didn't come together with the rest of the episodes. It didn't feel right and it twisted some of the characters into something they're not. I'm hoping for an explanation, at least, in the next episode.
