Episode 8 of 10

Is Tom still in a dream state? It's physically impossible for him to just happen to walk by his old Boston house.

Joe Schmoe

Maybe it just looks like his old house?

It was interesting to get a glimpse into his life before the invasion, but the dream stuff felt like filler, another stall tactic to delay the events coming in the final 2 episodes of the season.

How can they not account for Lourdes whereabouts? That's some suck ass detective skills to only pin it on the President.

And yeah, Tom back in his home makes it seems like all they did was travel in a circle all this time. But maybe they have the same navigating skills as those in the Walking Dead.

I was hoping that he was still in a dream state and his escape was all bullshit.

When it first started and several minutes in I was thinking this is an odd way to go for a ten episode season.

Red Dog

Ironic that everyone suspects the Veep since that seemed to be prevaling sentiment here before the reveal.

So the blonde chick must have taken him to Boston right? He has a long walk.

The idea was interesting, but for this kind of show with so few episodes in a season, it kind of sucks doing an episode like this so late in the season. Plus, I think getting a glimpse into Tom's life before the invasion lost it's impact when Anne, Pope, Margaret and the Colonel starting appearing in it.

I read an episode recap/review from the Wall Street Journal and the reviewer hated this episode. Thought it was lame to do a filler episode like this so late in the season.

If they seriously wanted to do something with more emotional impact, do a fucking flashback episode to Boston before the invasion and then show us when the shit hit the fan.

And how stupid do they really think the viewer is about Anne and Lexie? Of course they aren't dead.

Xiroteus

A direct flash back for part of the episode would have been better. People thought last week felt like a filler as well. It should not be that hard to write a tighter story for only ten episodes.

Makes one wonder why would they even try and make us think that. Of course they are not dead, they act like they want the baby.

Another filler episode in a season that only lasts 10 episodes? This is the worst show on television that continues to get renewed. Noah Wyle must have the nastiest dirt on the TNT executives and is blackmailing them.
