In terms of summer shows about Global Pandemics, I think I'll watch The Strain. The guy who made that actually tried to entertain me in the theater, not trap me there for nearly 3 hours just to get my money.
Wow, just realized the directors of Pacific Rim and Transformers both have shows out now about pandemics. What a coincidence
