It apppears to be good news that they've discovered cracks in the tank. ("Experts were brought in Saturday to 'think completely outside the box' to help resolve the crisis, which has proved incredibly difficult due to a phenomenon known as a 'thermal runaway' reaction, where the chemical generates its own uncontrollable heat, threatening either a massive toxic leak or a catastrophic explosion.")

"Residents burn an Ebola treatment center in DR Congo as anger grows over the outbreak"
@dailymail Police fired warning shots and tear gas in the Congolese town of Rwampara after protesters stormed an Ebola treatment centre and set fire to medical tents during clashes over the burial of a suspected victim. Witnesses said tensions escalated after relatives disputed the cause of death and demanded the body be returned to the family. The unrest comes as health officials race to contain a growing Ebola outbreak in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, with suspected cases and deaths continuing to rise. #ebola #news #congo #health

Really fun series about a milquetoast mayor realizing his quaint island (it could be the next Martha's Vineyard!) is absolutely overflowing with ghosts and monsters and serial killer ghost monsters (Hiro Murai has directed so many of my favorite shows). From an interview with creator:
There's a scene [in Weapons] where - yeah. When - the scene when she's sleeping in the car, and the audience sees the woman coming out of the house, walking strangely to the car, and then you just hear the back seat open. I think that's the - it's terrifying, but I think that's the funniest thing in the entire world.
...
MARTÍNEZ: What's the writing room like? 'Cause I'm wondering with a series like this that has horror, it has suspense, it has mystery and, obviously, lots of laughs, too, are there some writers that are better at one part of that?DIPPOLD: You know, I'm so glad you asked that because that was one of the more challenging things that ended up being the most rewarding. I had this great writers' room. There's seven other writers. Some of them came from more mythology-heavy shows like "WandaVision." And then I had, you know, a couple of old-time friends in comedies that - some of the best comedy writers I know from, like, you know, "SNL." One was from "Key & Peele." And so at first, that was a challenge, to sort of navigate the room and try to tell one cohesive story. What was very rewarding was by the end, the mythology writers were pitching jokes that were hilarious, and they all knew the show. And the comedy writers were passionately, heatedly debating and arguing for things on the mythology. And it was very fun to see that come together.
From an interview with Kate O'Flynn:
AVC: Was there something you were able to improv in or have any favorite scenes from the episode?KO: It was a late addition, but I loved this bit in episode one where she’s talking to Shep in the hospital room, and Tom walks in and says something about them being able to listen to you when they’re in a coma, so Patricia responds by saying, “I apologize for wasting his time.” That was a last minute throw-in line. There’s also a scene at the start of episode seven that we have to play it straight, but it was impossible to get through for me.In episode four, I loved the physical stuff, like the final scene on the beach where they’re all walking into the water. It looked spectacular in person. I felt like a kid in the playground pretending to save everybody.
