Apparently analog timers are immune to EMP – who knew?  So the Navy has outfitted the remaining nuke (really?  There were only 2 available?) with an analog countdown.  He-MUTO shows up about then and snags the bomb.  She-MUTO needs some sustenance for all of the baby MUTOs that we see pulsing in her tummy.  The two of them dig a little (read: huge) nest downtown and get all those babies situated to finish gestating.

So let’s review where we’re at:  Both MUTOs are hanging out around their nest, overseeing what looks like almost a thousand ready-to-hatch winged babies.  The nuclear bomb with the timer still ticking is now in a prime location to kill whoever hasn’t evacuated.  And the people who have evacuated seem to be stuck in traffic on the bridges.  Then to top it all off, Godzilla lurches out of the ocean, only to be attacked by ineffectual rounds from hand-held weapons and tank guns.  Can you say climax?

Godzilla does not appreciate being shot at while he’s trying to restore the balance of nature, so he lunges at the bridge.  The bus containing the Brody boy, along with a bunch of other children, is stuck behind police barricades.  In another scene that made me smile, the most awesome bus driver in movie history (sorry, Sandra Bullock!) floors the gas pedal and plows through the police, cars, and wooden barricades to get the kids off the bridge.  Bravo, awesome bus driver!
