Which--if it does fall--will be a rinse and repeat of TWD, where the series leads end up homeless.
No. Basic antibiotics (did the Ottos mention any particular drug class?) has no effect on the effect of anthrax ingestion. Commonly, it takes up to 2 months of constant antibiotic treatment with Doxycycline (or other in that drug class) or Ciprofloxacin to combat the effects. While Walker blurted something about Nick's age being in his favor, the response to treatment for a victim of anthrax also benefits from general good health, and considering Nick's system was compromised by constant drug abuse (up to a point fairly recently in series timeline), he is not the healthiest candidate in the world. In short, Nick should be dead, not getting up shooting people after only a few hours.
Of course--the "one fell swoop" is par for the course for many current TV productions, as if one side are a band of angels, and the other must be the face of pure evil. Then again, any series where half of the main characters are murderers (Madison, Nick and Daniel) and still supposed to be "heroes," then you know there's a problem with the worldviews of the showrunners.
He tried his manipulation with the water criminals, and it failed miserably. I think Strand changing his ways has much to do with realizing that looking to play angles is a losing game creating more enemies than allies. I do hope he is not just wandering, but has a showdown with Daniel, as that character--like the Clark family--need to answer for their cutthroat BS.
Well, you hit it on the head--it was about the visual, rather than the practical--and another way of Strand "exorcizing" his past.
That cosmonaut business may never go anywhere. It almost seems like they needed to give the impression that Strand (or anyone else) might meet the man (or whoever he really is) at some point in the future, but the way this series is going, you might not be able to count on it.
