I'm commenting while watching…
Nice points:
- I was actually surprised by the beginning, seeing Jimmy running at first, I thought he was escaping from the "Sanctuary".
- Nice touch that they are happy about vegetables and fruits… I like the talks about those "details" in the survivors' life. It makes the show different from other 'alien invasion' ones.
- I like the non-explicit explanations of how Pope told Clayton about the 2nd Mass. and how he got there in the first place.
- I actually felt quite some tension when Mike was checking the place to see if the sanctuary is not what it is supposed to be.
- Nice continuity from the make-up department: Anne still has a cut lip, and Tom still has a scar on his forehead.
- Hal makes a good leader (and Drew is always good).
- Ben is the new Forrest Gump
. Run Ben, run.
- I love the line "kick their alien ass" ;D
- The plot after Tom surrenders wasn't so predictable (to me at least… ). No clue how they would get out of that situation. Somehow I even forgot the 2nd Mass could come to the rescue.
- I actually liked the history professor speech at the funeral…
- Very intrigued by Rick's talk about humans. "Killing is in their nature". Very creepy…
And why is it that Rick is still apparently a skitter, while Ben is quite his old self?
- Things are interesting even without one skitter or mech showing up.
Less nice ones…
- Pope and the sanctuary don't seem to be very well guarded.
- What is Eli's backpack doing there? Don't they know better?
It's quite bothering to see that many plots are starting because people are making stupid mistakes. I wish there were a bit more 'clever' ways to trigger plots.
- Mike's speech when having Hal take Rick away: already making you know what Mike's fate will be, and feeling inappropriate to take the time to do that while they are being shot at.
- The piano was quite a nice touch, but not very smart when you want to hide…
- Wrong timing again for the "thank you speech" from Ben to Hal… I don't know, just doesn't feel right to put those important talks always before danger. Once in a while, okay, but now we've seen many of those. Tom to Hal before he goes inside the hospital to rescue the kids, Mike to Rick before in the episode, now this. Just too many for my taste.
- Why are people always showing up and shooting at the right moment?
Clayton last episode, now Pope, exactly a split second before Hal would get shot… It's like people are all waiting hiding somewhere just waiting for their "Action" moment…
- Amazingly, Clayton and his buddies stop shooting when Tom shows up. And again, there is time for a nice quiet chat between Tom and Pope. How could he even show up like that and get close to the shooting scene without getting hurt himself?
- Not sure how Dai and Weaver and the rest found the sanctuary so fast? Sure they have motorcycles… And Ben may have told them… okay, maybe no problem here actually.
- Hugs, more hugs
- It's probably the first time Tom killed a man, isn't it? Shouldn't he look a bit shaken by that? I know he had to, but still…
Now what's with that in the promo: "With only 2 episodes left"
What? not 3? Did I miss something?
