count me as part of the people who don't like the new feel and direction of the show. and this is coming from someone who barely liked the feel and direction of the show to begin with.

Not bad. Better than the jumbled mess of last week, but still not great.

The ghetto camp storyline and Lexie being some kind of Alien prophet is still kind of goofy IMO.

At least Tom being the Masked Avenger or Ghost is over with.

at Ann losing her shit on that skitter.

Good to see Robert Sean Leonard back.

You'd think Tom would know better than to be taken into the alien ship again. I guess they had watched V for Vendetta at some point to now use the Ghost gimmick.

About midway through I was expecting the Spartacus scenario ... I loved Tom pointing at the obvious tether graphic on the screen ... Now where did Faraday suits come up recently? Fringe?

I just started watching this season, but does the show always go with the "I need to save my kid/significant" other angle as the primary motivation for these survivors?

I was rolling my eyes and laughing when that woman was interrogating the captured alien to find out where her kid was? I'm thinking to myself, you are going to risk the lives of your soldiers by marching them to death to save a SINGLE person? WTF?

The show is a jumbled mess and always has been a jumbled mess. This episode had more inane dialogue than usual, I was seriously wondering if the actors are ad-libbing the entire script? That scene at the end with Ben had some of the most awkward pauses ever I've ever seen between two characters speaking on television. It reminded me of dinner theater.

It's entertaining yet I'm on the fence about the tone.

You'd think Lexi would've noticed that once 21 times a month.

It's so funny how they basically patterned her after the Star Child from V.
