In all fairness the mechs are designed to let out that creepy roar every couple of minutes just in case you missed all the stomping. They aren't really stealthy. But I wasn't really paying attention to that scene. I usually go 5050 between playing phone games and watching when this one is on.

I think the colonel should have said something when he burned his hand and her mom didn't. Dude was ready to throw down his life to protect her and she still burned him. Shameful. Also what did Tom's oldest son see when he said "Did you see that" then he was looking at the moon. All my instincts about this show should tell me he literally meant the moon, but I dunno if he saw it flicker or something or if they are planting the idea of this being a matrix or virtual prison, I mean, who knows, this show can go anywhere. But making the hippie commune area some kind of virtual dome would make sense, more so after I saw the Hersey's Kisses in the jar, how the gently caress are they going to have a jar full of those after like 3 world wars or however many years since the invasion.

They're hiding out after the alien invasion so obviously they sit by the window with a Coleman reading Peter Pan. Okay, this makes me slightly less angry. I just assumed it was all "tee hee pillow fort" and kid poo poo. AxeManiac posted:Also what did Tom's oldest son see when he said "Did you see that" then he was looking at the moon.

It was a green dot on the moon. I assume it's a comically oversized targeting laser for a comically oversized gun. Because the name of the last episode in the season is "Shoot the Moon" get it

Apparently you missed all the Falling Skies themed Hersey advertising that goes on during the show. They have one where a guy falls through the floor and there's a whole cache of Hersey bars and he fakes being injured so he can stay down there. So, in other words, it's simply product placement, nothing more.

The alien invasion is nothing more than an elaborate marketing plan! It all makes sense now! That's why they never kill the leader of the humans, he has too much star power.

I hope they turn the insanity up to 11 and work in some kind of Terminator time travel go back and save the human race type of thing because after introducing Alien Jesus Baby, Hitler Youth Camps, and Mt. Doom/Scientology's Volcano what else is left?

This will inevitably lead them back to earth where the space fleet they assembled out of storage containers and old trucks are forgotten. kingcom fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Jul 30, 2014 |

No, they'll search for so long that man will evolve into something else and forget his origins...and become the Espheni.

I get the feeling that either the writers have just decided to go for broke, or they did not think the series would last this long and they have no real idea of what to do next.

The people behind NBC's Revolution had the grand opportunity to go balls out with the series finale, but they didn't. They left it open ended for a season 3. A season 3 that will likely never occur.

I forgot about the weird green laser pointer on the moon thing until someone pointed it out here. After learning the last episode of the season is "Shoot the Moon" I'm guessing the evil aliens (or maybe the space french?) have a last ditch effort to blow up the moon if they can't maintain control of the planet or something. The stupid heros will probably stop them. If they fail the last season could be pretty interesting. There's been no indication of time travel so far. Which probably means they'll go that way.

The stupid heros will probably stop them. If they fail the last season could be pretty interesting. Actually, I'm going with the reverse. All this season, what has been the main goal? To find and take down the new alien power source before it becomes operational. I think the aliens finally wised up and put that power source in a place where the humans can't presumably get to it (the moon.) So, this year's climax is going to be a mission to "shoot the moon" to take down the alien power source before it becomes operational. Given the subtle like a brick themes of familial sacrifice and the fact that Lexi is currently leveling up, presumably she's will lend her powers to allow them to fire something at the moon from earth. That will likely either lead to her death or leave her unpowered completely and a normal human.

This war has been going on for how many years and they just now decide to make IEDs? Also, I just realized that I have Pope's shotgun. I'm going to do some mad Pope Cos-play next week.

Why do all alien/sentient AI races that obliterate 99% of the human race always complain afterwards that we're the violent ones who just won't give peace a chance? Like, you just destroyed out species, does it really surprise you that we might hold a grudge? Except for Pope's dumbest minion in the opening, has anyone died this season at all? It seems weird to cram all character death into one episode like that. Lourdis is gone at least.

Five minutes in and this is unquestionably the best episode of anything ever. Even better than when baby V's twin sister or something ate that annoying kid Tyler in the last episode of V. Not by much though.

Like, you just destroyed out species, does it really surprise you that we might hold a grudge? If I could offer a theory: Lexi is being told by her overlord father that they can live in peace with the humans, and she creates a community with no weapons and the aliens leave them alone. In her mind, while the aliens did come here and kill tons of people, they are willing to just drop the whole thing and let the humans be which makes them better. We know that isnt really the case, but Lexi is being misled. So when the ghetto escapees show up with the Masons and aren't willing to stop fighting (like the aliens are as part of her father's plan) she sees humans as being unable to stop being violent creatures and takes off to find daddy and join him. Basically we are warlike and the aliens fight wars but can walk away from them, to her mind. She's probably going to end up saving the humans when she realizes they aren't any better after all and chooses her human family.

So they're killing off developed characters left and right, while the coolest rapist ever Pope is still alive. Alien overlords can now dodge trained snipers in barely lit alleyways but can't duck away from a flamethrower to the face or a handgun bullet.
