Halt and Catch Fire 2.01

SETI

- a couple years have passed in the show since season 1 ended
- Cameron and Donna are still in business but it looks like something is getting ready to give; Mutiny, their company, is skating on thin ice; Cameron doesn't want to take charge; Donna is getting tired of cleaning up after other employees; things get a little contentious between the two of them until they bond over getting back at someone who scams them
- Gordon gets a big payout after Cardiff shuts down for good; later he gets a nosebleed which he shrugs off; I've got a feeling it is going to turn out to be something more serious than just a nosebleed
- Joe has moved on and moved to Austin; he isn't with Cameron anymore; he has met another woman, a reporter named Sara; he is expecting to get a similar payout to Gordon but doesn't because he pissed off the owner of Cardiff Electric one too many times; he was counting on that money to start a new company; I've got a feeling he's going to go back to Gordon and try and get him to invest in his idea for his new company
- John who went to jail at the end of season 1 gets out at the end of this episode; as I recall he took the fall for something that Cameron did; she's the one who meets him when he gets released

- it started a little slow but by the end of the episode I was eager to see more; it has been about 10-11 months since I watched season 1; I didn't remember all the details or all the names; there was no recap at the beginning of the episode but it didn't take me long to pick up the pieces
