Falling Skies

WHAT IN THE WORLD?

The two shows leading up to the finale, and the finale were probably some of the most PISS POOR writing on a post apocalyptic show EVAR.

Max Headroom turns heel, but Weaver can still boss him around. You guys ain't going anywhere, YES WE ARE, okay then. You guys are under arrest- OOPS SKITTERS. You guys ain't going nowhere, YES WE ARE, okay then takes some guns.

The skitters just barged right on in to Charleston. Worst army ever. Oh look BEN pops up like a Jack in the box. He's still cute.

Max Headroom decides FUCK ALL THIS SHIT, let's kill off the skitters camping outside, even though they might have some very important information. I"m the greatest general EVAR. Also, these badass surviving the fishhead army skitters forget all their survival skills long enough for the temporary Max Headroom villain to practically wipe them out. SO STUPID AND POINTLESS.

Token Asian is DEAD. RIP.

Moon Bloodgood is preggo - :rwmad: SO STUPID.

Don't worry, we'll keep an eye on Hal. Oopsy, let's gtf outta here so the eye bug can crawl out.

OH LOOKY, NEW ALIENS.
 
Someone said, over on a blog somewhere, that she thinks they're grown up skitters, and that all the skitters on earth that have been harnessed were actually little kid skitters, and I SAID OOOOHHHH YEAH THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
 
Maybe they are like caterpillars except they don't become beautiful butterflies but only slightly less creepy looking upright walking skitters.

OH and that reminds me, I cracked up when Karen SKITTERED up the wall.
 
That looked so incredibly stupid. The dialog was worse than usual too. And the son with bug brain looks like he's 30, FFS. They couldn't find an actual teenager to play that part?

Was that the season finale? It didn't seem like there were that many episodes.
 
Yeah, that was the season finale, but don't worry it's already been renewed! lol
 
Yeah, pretty bad. It kind of encapsulated all the major clichés.

Dai (whose name I only learned in this episode) dying was just TYPICAL. Has he even had any lines this season? Pope the Rapist gets more respect!

I like the idea of the new aliens being grown up Skitters. That makes a lot of sense, and would be a nice development if they made something of it (they won't - the good guys will still live in the same place every week and the bad guys will still mysteriously allow them to live).

Oh, Ben.

Agreed about Karen running up that wall (or whatever you call it when someone runs up a wall without really touching it because they have a wire pulling them).

Tom's such a fucking liability. Yeah, that's it, let's send the most sentimental man in history to fight a decisive battle against alien invaders, alongside two of his sons and his girlfriend. I can't see any chance of him becoming emotionally compromised here.

And while we're at it, let's send in the emotionally overcharged girlfriend of the most emotionally overcharged son, and the man who raped her. They will fight side by side seamlessly.

The CG was pretty much movie quality, but that's not much consolation.
 
SO having finished this season yeah it does suffer from bad writing. And having only ten episodes. And even with ten they still had that filler episode with the driving and Matt telling a harness girl ALL ABOUT THEIR SECRET CHARLESTON yet when she escaped nobody gave a fuck.

Then in the second to last episode we're introduced to Locke and he's INSTANTLY a total unreasonable "THE MILITARY ARE EVIL I'M A COWARD!" character.

Then the next episode Max Headroom takes over and he's SUDDENLY a "FUCK CIVILIANS ALL I CARE ABOUT IS KILLING THINGS HAHA!" lunatic.

So the writing is really one dimensional.

Best episode was the one at the hospital where Jamil was eaten (even though that was part of the subtle kill off all the non-whites message!)

Also all the scenes with Karen and Ben together were really good. More Karen next year. But not running up walls.
 
That guy that played Jamil is the Sean Bean of American TV, he either dies painfully or he gets the crap beat out of him and nearly dies.
 
Has anyone seen Revolution yet? I guess it hasn't officially premiered but the pilot is available on hulu. They've got apocalypse hair just like this show does! My hair doesn't look that good even if I try and these people are probably bathing once a week or less... it's amazing.

It's not a good show. The premise is that all electricity just stops on the planet and then the story jumps to 15 years in the future where everyone is living this strange sort of medieval existence because apparently coal, wind and steam power no longer work either. But they all have new clothes and fluffy hair.
 
Oh lol... I was thinking about watching it, depending on what it is up against. If it doesn't have any competition maybe I'll hate-watch it.
 
Revolution sounds like the next Flashforward/The Event/Alcatraz that's supposed to be "the next Lost" AND LOOK HOW THEY TURNED OUT.
 
I liked Alcatraz, I was sorry to see it cancelled.

ETA: I liked The River too, so you can see what bad taste in TV I have. *blush*
 
Oh, I liked The River too. I thought it was pretty good, kinda scary, and a bit cheesy. I also liked The Event, but now I don't remember much about it.
 
Like MIB! Someone from The Event came by and flashed that thingy in my face.
