    Was anyone else reminded of Jurassic Park when Johnny flew off the tower after being electrocuted (especially after Nikko and Sabina saw those weird animal tracks....T-Rex maybe? Lol)? And who doesn't know CPR? And why did Ester and that other girl think they could bury a body with 2 ft of snow on the ground? The ground is frozen...good luck trying to dig a grave....

    really trippy and well executed ep. Nice developments for both groups... still wondering what shady Esther took from the box that Miljan was threatening to blackmail her with and just how much of a game is she still playing (I have a feeling that she still is plotting)... even though they might not have an idea of how to use them, I didn't get why the village survivors didn't try to use the snowshoes that are on the wall of the cabin that they are sleeping in... lol can't wait to find out what made those weird footprints.... aliens? science experiments gone awry?

    While watching this episode 'The Gathering Fog' I noticed that the tower they came across has an interesting historical significance.

    I recognized it immediately as the Wardenclyffe Tower, a structure created by one of histories most impressive geniuses, Nikola Tesla. JP Morgan a historically famous banker and financier put up original funding to build the tower in 1903, not realizing what the ultimate function was meant to be.

    The tower was built to bring electricity down from the ionosphere and to wirelessly transmit the energy over long distances.

    http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardenclyffe_Tower

    Tesla reportedly accomplished a transmission that reached over 100 miles and illuminated a field full of light bulbs. All of this done without wires. An accomplishment in the early 1900's that still has yet to be reproduced today.

    A group of MIT engineers successfully reproduced wireless transmission of energy in 2007, but it was measured in feet not miles, and took them over a year to accomplish.

    Tesla was born in, what is modern day, Croatia and traveled into Russia where Siberia is located after JP Morgan hired the military to destroy the tower. Most likely realizing that free energy could not make a profit and could not be controlled commercially.

    After losing his funding and having the Wardenclyffe tower taken from him, Tesla was believed to leave the US, and continued his work on wireless transmission in Russia.

    In 1908 just a couple years after the tower was decommissioned in the US and Tesla had left, there was a catastrophically massive explosion in Tunguska Siberia, Russia. Over 770 square miles of destruction and flattened trees. To put that into perspective The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima was roughly 16 square miles of destruction. This massive explosion was to be known as the Tunguska Event.

    Many believed it to be the work of a huge meteorite exploding over the surface of the remote terrain. Though this has been criticized because no fragments have ever been found.

    Many believe that Tesla took his highly advanced research on wireless transmission to the remote areas of Russia to test his work, recreating a much more powerful tower in Siberia, like the one in the tv show, and had inadvertently caused this massive explosion.

    After this accident Tesla left Russia and returned to the US. His work was so advanced and futuristic the people at the time could not understand him and he was written off as crazy and delusional. Tesla took many of his truly amazing inventions to the grave considering he never used blue prints. He had such a photographic memory he could literally see what was meant to be built and it was all stored in his genius mind.

    Who knows what we lost when Tesla died? If he had been successful we may all be driving electric cars today, powered by towers wirelessly transmitting electricity. Never worrying about an energy crisis or the advent of peak oil.
