I hope O'Quinn won't be sticking around long. After Lost and Hawaii Five-O, I'm tired of him. I also hope the 2nd Mass won't be staying in Charleston long. Reminds me a bit of the New Caprica episodes on Battlestar Galactica. The producers of that series wisely kept them to a minimum so the show could get back to having humans on the run from a superior force. I hope the same happens here. This wasn't a great episode, but it was better than last week's.

I thought this was the best episode of the season. But I agree - I'm tired of Locke.

I don't watch Hawaii 5'omso I'm not having Locke overload. The sgt looked familiar but I couldn't place him.

Good episode overall.

I loved Pope's lines about Mason when he was talking to O'Quinn, especially when he called him a dictator

But i wasn't really, because i looked up Andy 2.0, forgetting there was a actor swap. Olsson's imdb has him as Deputy Andy from 2009-2010. My brain was hurting. Haha. Glad I'm not crazy...

solid second season... I can take a few more eps of quinn, but hopefully not a regular stint...

I think these harnassed kids morph and become the skitters.. it looked like the girl from last weeks her fingers were getting creepily longer...

He also had a recurring role in Battlestar Galactica.

The preview for next week looks like they saved most of their special effects budget for the finale.

I thought the skitters were established as a separate race also enslaved with harnesses. Unless they didn't look like that either and the harnesses change all races into skitters.

I don't mean to cause this to bump all the way up, but can someone tell me why Tom is wearing his "cool" fingerless gloves even in the cafeteria line at Charleston?
