OT: Falling Skies- the Skitters rebelling from the Fishheads?

[HammerOfTheDogs]

Pope claims that's what's happening after regaining consciousness. Also, the two kids with coathangers run away from the 2nd Mass.<div>
</div><div>The biggest thing is, is the haven of Charleston, South Carolina a trap? It could be that the aliens want to concentrate the humans there so they're easier to wipe out. However, I'm thinking the Southerners are harder to round up and kill, and there's more than a few South Carolina Swamp Rats, Cajuns, and Good Ol Boys running around wreaking havoc on the Skitters.</div>

the show didn't hook me enough to care much about the second. How's it been so far?

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

...at the end of the season, they tried to bring in a lot of psychological and ambiguous stuff, which isn't a good idea for a Summer Series. This season, they've mostly gotten back to the "kill all the Skitters" stuff. A few things I don't understand- with the aliens destroying all the Armies and air forces in the world, they can't simply roll these people up? You got to know the aliens have night-vision and heat-sensor technology, and these people should stand out like a sore thumb on the alien grid.<div>
</div><div>Also saw where Noah Wyle and the Indian Doctor finally hooked up. Could see this coming from a thousand miles out.</div>

That info came from Red-eye.

Glad Pope's back, but I was enjoying the screen time Tech (Henry from Sanctuary) was getting.

 

[Optimus Prime 4]

this week was a little weak, I mean there wasn't a single battle, or hell, even a single skitter in the entire episode.

No skitters, mechs, fish-heads, or ships. No CGI whatsoever.

I think Maggie's become my favorite character besides Pope.

Did anyone else see it coming a mile a way that Ben went from "I'm the only one who she won't manipulate" to "lets run away together lol"?

My theory on Charleston is that it's the human reservation.

[captaindawg]

but got tired of Noah Wylie constantly comparing what the aliens were doing to tactics used by the Nazis and other past armies. I'm surprised it made it to a second season.

 

[DerHntr]

This rebellion thing has me almost giving him a chance. I'd rather see Pope blow his head off though.

As for scenes from next week, those alien SPIDERS are gonna be a mother17er.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Noah's character has toned down the philosophy a bit, and has joined the majority of the cast's survivalist mentality.

Yet everybody has an AK or AR.

Now, if they picked a southern state like Mississippi or Texas then the "assault" guns would be more believable. In fact, you would see lots more auto weapons and rocketry......

Besides, they would bog down in Louisiana as those crazy corndogs would be dropping them into the gumbo pot.

 

[Optimus Prime 4]

and even in Mass, that's pretty close to plenty of military bases.

 

[Big Sheep81]

Of course any sensible Yankee would head south so that they might be properly armed and learn fighting skills from the Southern boys....

But I still was amused in season one that the home state of Ted Kennedy would have so many armed citizens in a state that will stop just short of the death penalty for mere gun possession by a traveling through stranger. But it is a Hollywood show after all..

 

[Big Sheep81]

After she picked up the bed and then bounced herself against the wall I would move sex way down the list....

 

[DerHntr]

I don't have a single gun registered and have attained all of them legally. I have a safe full of them. Can you imagine what I would have at the house if I was a bit more willing to break the law and buy some black market stuff? I knew some folks in the past with fully automatic weapons lying around the house like throw blankets. I am sure that those areas of the world have many, many more guns than their state governments would like to know about.

You are right about the corndogs though. They would have had to create a scene where theywere throwing them in a pot with some crab boil for it to be believable.

 

[Big Sheep81]

I still have my crab boiler rig from down there in the 80's.... makes a pretty big boiler flame..

 

[PBRME]

I agree. I was on the fence last season. Decided I would give it a couple of episodes of this season before giving it up. Glad I did because it's much better this season.
