You're using logic again.
I know. But honestly, at this point, why is this plotline set in New Orleans? There has been no story-related reason that they have to be there. And that bothers me, because it starts to feel exploitative.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!

starts to?
I'm just waiting for the voodoo subplot to make it all come together with a bow.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Was it actually stated that Monica's home was flooded?

I thought that they said that the family used her college money to repair her Nana's house.
It could have been wind damage.

Someone said upthread that the house had a visible water-line.

New Orleans nitpick of the week
The accents are going to kill me.
But yeah, as Mr. Jane said yesterday, "It's hip to care about New Orleans." I only wish there were a voodoo or even a hoodoo subplot so that it would seem like there were a reason for it.
Also, please, please for the love of Mike stop making them all sound like they're in a community theater production of Streetcar.

Well, my guess is that it won't matter for long because everyone seems to be converging on New York again.

It's already five episodes too long with no end in sight. I really wish they'd never have left NY. It almost feels like the writers skipped four months because they figured not telling us what happened in that time would generate an easy (and lazy) mystery.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I believe there is an ep around November sweeps that should talk about the intervening 4 months.
Do you think they should have started the season right after the bomb?

Yes. They've shown no compelling reason not to have done that.
