Looking at what's ahead for the new season, they seem to have a budget increase. There's no doubt the next episode is going to be complete filler though

I don't really mind the "family" stuff this year. The three month break has at least made all of the kids more badass with their father away to keep them from any and all harm. Sure, even the little 10ish year old wasted some skitters when his dad was on the 50cal. lol

They were always going to have to have the heartwarming family reunification scene with Tom (it is Tom right?) gone for 3 months. The preview for the rest of the season looks as though there will be inner family tension and the gushy stuff will be saved for the romances.

Can someone clarify for me if Tom and the Dr ever actually got it together in Season 1?

Hmmm....guess we'll have to keep a close eye on "Red Eye"> http://tvline.com/2012/06/22/falling...edeye-skitter/

I thought the two parter was great, for the most part the CGI improved a bit....the scene with Tom and the bug pulling out of eye bit....gross!, but great.
Liked the Nazi execution style slaying as well + this lone Skitter watching the 2nd Mass etc.

It has improved a bit, but i need to see more and the story arcs for season 2.

Does anyone else think that prayer girl has moved on from Hal? It was subtly done so you might have missed it.

As mentioned above, the bridge was still functional for pedestrians, what was with all the swimming and boats? If really needed, a plank to walk across would have worked.

- she's STILL praying though! ....i was expecting her to get gunned down on that bridge. Sarah [insert middle married name] Carter looks a bit rank this year.......

I think it's looking more and more like the harnessed children 'become' skitters somehow - perhaps this is some character that is involved in the backstory of the 2nd Mass; one of Weaver's kids?

Interesting to see the scarred skitter with a dislike for Tom. Wonder if Tom was the one who burned him. Doubt it but would be funny if it was
And nice squeamish scene getting the thing out of his eye. Was thinking it's a good job it didn't turn into a ball in his eye. I assume it was some kind of audio/visual recording bug.
You think we'll see the young girl who loaned Tom the bike again?
And always good to see Harper's Island actors. Lucky fecker getting Lourdes.

Wonder how they'll react to the missing bug. They could either gloss over it and move on, or suspect everyone of having it inside them

what was that about the writing being better, no still painfully bad.

Ah lad!...sure tis fun Summer viewing

Hey is this any good? I watched the first two episodes and thought they were pretty crappy. It's an interesting premise though, so I'd be up for giving it another go if there's an improvement as the go along.

[expectationlost]

ah Noah Wyle is a producer on the show now, thats why he felt free to make a comment on being written into a corner on the after show

[FreudianSlippers]

Few things bothering me this week. Firstly, it seemed like the actors were mumbling their way through at least 50% of the lines. I thought it was a sound problem at first and cranked it up, but no.

The death/exit situation. Just doesn't make sense. Random at best.

It was really, really boring.

Also, they always said "the 50 cal" - THE... they only had the one 50cal machine gun on the convertible car. It was destroyed last week; but magic hey now there's a new one. Also when did they get to that airport? I don't remember that.




One thing as to the general plot, DAE think that Charleston may be the concentration camp style place that the skitters were trying to get Tom to lead the 2nd Mass to?

I'm thinking the same about the concentration Camp area. Can't see them allowing 3000 people to live in a community like that unchecked.
