Salvation episode 2 spoilers: What lies ahead for new CBS series?

Following tonight’s premiere on CBS, what’s coming for Salvation episode 2? Well, consider this the next attempt to stop the asteroid. The premiere set things up by staging the primary crisis of the show — a disaster that could be set to destroy all of humankind. Humanity has a little bit of time to stop it, but it’s going to take a lot of work in order for that to happen.

This is where Darius comes more into play. He’s got the resources and the money to do something to change the fate of the world, but that doesn’t mean that any plans devised by him will prove successful. There are also larger conspiracies afoot here, and as the show progresses, the more clear it will be that nothing is as cut-and-dry as it may look on the surface.

The title for episode 2 of the series is “Another Trip Around The Sun.” If you do want to get some more news regarding what’s ahead there, be sure to take a look below.

Salvation episode 2 synopsis – “Darius and Liam work to invent a theoretically impossible piece of technology to divert the asteroid, and Grace risks everything to help Darius. Also, Liam heads home to Boston to track down critical research, but finds something shocking instead.”

We’d say that it’s so far, so good when it comes to Salvation and its story. While we’re not going to say that the idea of meteor-disaster series is the most original thing that we’ve ever heard, it’s also good summer entertainment that’s airing at a time in which there isn’t a whole lot else on broadcast TV. We’ll always celebrate CBS for taking some creative risks at a time when many other networks are deciding to play things safe.

Beyond all of this, we’re of course interested to see what the ratings for tomorrow’s episode are going to be. After all, remember for a moment that the show has a great lead-in via Big Brother. Hopefully, that will pay off and bring some big returns back to the network. (We’re going to be offering up a little bit more in the way of ratings news on the show come tomorrow, so be sure to come back to the site for a little more insight there.)
