Another good episode.
It was nice to see 2nd mass achieve such a decisive victory over the overlords.
I thought they were setting up the presidents for potential rivals, it more likely now, if the new president isn't dead they will be allies, at least once colonel Tigh or what ever his name is, is remove from the picture.
So anyone else trust cochise an his little story about his favorite flower, its sounds a bit to much like a story us humans want to hear, and just to add emotional edge to it, his brother died on another planet. yeah right.
So the Volm and Epiphani have fought each other half way across the universe, one wonders through, why is Earth so important, why does defeating Epiphani on Earth means Cochise great great grandson get to go back to his home world. i would love to learn why he thinks his sons would even be accepted back on their home world, at least 600 years after they left to fight the Epiphani, are they still in contact with their home planet.
I do wonder through, if the thing they building in Charleston isn't a weapon, if it a means to transfer there fleet to Earth Quicker. Some sort of Worm hole generator or something. It seems to obvious to be a weapon, an it look kinda similar to what the Overlords were building, they both point to orbit, they both look like a cannon.
Pope character development have been criticize on some sites, but to me, he grown and mature as a leader, something we needed to see happen to believe that he has the respect of his own men and could form his own community or even be allowed to be free in Charleston. He couldn't keep going around being a pain in the butt or cocky because he knows he smarter than everyone else.
I be sad if we don't see Weaver, Tom, and Pope have a male bonding session by the end of the show, a few beers and sing along or 3 old blokes sitting in rocking chairs looking over a rebuilt Charleston.
no new clues who the mole is this episode. But one does wonder why they didn't bring along some volm weaponry to their meeting with the other president. For demonstration as well as defense purposes.
Ann has post natal depression, I have no doubt, cause by something similar to whatever Hal got stuck in his head. I do doubt whether the baby is even special, I think it more likely a trap to lure Tom out of Charleston and to show him something, something to doubt his alliance with Cochise and Volm. The whole baby thing being a ruse.
It was nice to see Weaver mention the bugs from last season. I am surprise they haven't deployed them against Charleston, considering they seem pretty damn impossible to stop without blowing up the whole place they are attacking.Last edited by knowles2; 25 June 2013, 02:54 AM. -
^^ no I don't trust Cochise either and I agree with you his "flower" story is B.S.

I for do not think the Volm have hidden motives and kind of hope they don't. Its scifi cliche to have our alien allies be our enemies.Originally posted by aretood2Comment

Actually....I'm hoping you're right. I just don't think it's going to turn out that way-but I could be wrong....Originally posted by jelgate View PostComment

Falling Skies does not usually go for the cliches of science ficton and tends to go for suspense. Thier would be too much predictibillity for me if the Volm turned out to really be our enemyOriginally posted by Perelandra View PostOriginally posted by aretood2Comment

The Volm's story of why he fights raised red flags for the cynic in me, but if you take it at face value -- assume that it's true -- it's pretty consistent with the emotional tone of the series. The Volm might just be who they say they are. Today's audience is conditioned to look for the tricks, the twists, the character flaws, and the ulterior motives. A truly decent, generous ally feels unlikely, even startling, to us. It wasn't always so. Falling Skies could be giving us a throw-back to a more innocent period. I haven't decided which is more likely.Originally posted by jelgate View PostComment

The Volm may not be trustworthy in the end. I really hope they are though. Cochise's story was very touching, very human.
The Hal storyline should get very interesting.
This season has been great thus far. I can't wait to see what happens this week after that plane went down.sigpic

Does anyone besides me think the actor playing Hal plays "Bad Hal" better than "Good Hal"? LolsigpicComment

Well I personally like the actor when he is playing "Good Hal", but he is even better playing "Bad Hal".Originally posted by Gen. Chris View PostComment
