Rewatching this, I forgot how much this is where the series started spinning out of control. The insane defying of physics with the "eclipse" is disturbing. When an eclipse happens, the most it will last is around three minutes total and cover perhaps around a fifty mile width along its path. To have one occur in Kansas and Haiti at the exact same moment is physically impossible. To have it go on for an hour is just ridiculous. You would think that the writers of sci-fi would have more fidelity to physical reality than to just create something so blatantly impossible. This, plus all the bleeding and no death, it just goes into the sublime. Quite disappointing.
