At least we can all be assured we will get a terrible and pointless conclusion to this mess. Unless of course they decide to leave it open ended, that would be pretty funny too.

Last episode features a showdown between the Volm and the human race and the Espheni. Platinum Blonde Jesusgirl opens up a portal to an alternate dimension, and out spills 1,000,000 George Washington and Thomas Jefferson cyborgs while this song plays.

I'm hoping this season is revealed to be the dream of an autistic child who wakes up and continues out the rest of the episodes as a touching family drama about dealing with special needs children.

Female Pope and Maggie will fight over Pope.

Mom and Lexi will share a heartfelt tear over the last bag of Skittles on the planet and make a Skittles/Skitters word pun.

Cochise will cocoon until season 6.

Wait, why don't they put those insulation materials over their engines anymore? Lourdes' ex-boyfriend figured that out ages ago. Since he died by those mini-Skitters, did they just give up on that?

It is seemingly very hard, if not impossible for current sci fi series to stay original, and not become all balled up in goofy subplots and assorted BS. I am surprised that this show got the green light for yet another season. But what do I know.

Missed the prediction but noticed they put a bag over that one alien prisoner's head so they could save some FX budget.

Let's take out a mech to tap into the enemy's live command and control network while somehow not alerting said network to that event. Is it too much to ask for an advanced space faring civilization to have it's war machines first report back when they've made contact with the enemy and are firing weapons at them?

This show has reached new levels of stupid, but they've still got me wanting to know where it all goes.

Every single time I'm about to give up on this show, it becomes just interesting enough to give it one more chance. That and it's summer and there's gently caress all else to watch except for Halt and Catch Fire and Bar Rescue reruns.
There's nothing like being in an abusive relationship with a TV show.

Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground.
This show is the best worst show and I can't stop watching it. It's like eating mexican, only afterwards when yourshitting napalm do you wonder "why did I do that". But guarenteed that a week later you wont think twice about going for another round. So yes, Pope wearing tinfoil as a faraday cage to artillery cannons on a bunch of floating crates as the ultimate tactic to blow up an alien fortress and jedi powers. Bring it, my brain screams no but my heart yells yes.

Holy poo poo that was a boring episode. Is there anyone watching that doesn't want them to just kill her already?

Lots of weird secrets in this one. Weaver hiding the burn on his hand for no reason. And the aliens not bothering to warn anyone till it's too late.

Why are we so concerned about Lexie again? I can't even remember, was Anne captured while pregnant and again after Lexie was born? I can't keep up with this poo poo anymore. Now I know how these people feel asking who Bron is after four seasons in the GoT thread. I feel like the show is treating this like it's been some long build up about to climax and but they just arrived.

Also, how can spike back boy, you know, function? I can't imagine laying down with that poo poo sticking out of your back. At some point him or one of the other spike kids got thrown against a wall or something and I was sure they were dead, but nope, didn't effect them at all. Also didn't he have like super powers at some point? Where did his super powers go?

I also like how he was like "Tom, your wife could die, so uhh, see ya around" so Tom could go over to the next scene.

Also bi-polar-pope is killing me. One episode he is trying to redeem himself, the next his is literally trying to round a mob to murder someone. The man really is a chaotic poo poo stirrer.

It wasn't fair weather Maggie.
It wasn't Tom and Wilson staring slack-jawed at Anne when she injected herself with more drugs.
It wasn't Lourdes.

It was the mech.

Anne is reading to her child. At night. Presumably before the apocalypse. How the gently caress does a mech just stroll into her neighborhood and blow her child away. No police, no air raid siren, no cell phone broadcast. Nothing.

From suburban 9 to 5s to alien apocalypse in a second. No warning.

How.

No it's after the apocalypse. She's got a lantern and bottled water. They're hiding out after the alien invasion so obviously they sit by the window with a Coleman reading Peter Pan.
