since it is now going head to head with The Strain, I suspect this will be the last season of this show.

Isn't that the truth!

Love how there are two huge mech things investigating the house with Pope and the new woman, and they just run past them, get into the truck, and drive away, dodging bullets and missiles.

And of course, the same old Pope to start that scene, "I have to pee," and takes off in the truck.

This show is so bad, I'm angry at myself, and embarrassed for watching it.

-eek- WTF??? That thing was Weaver's daughter? How the hell did she transform like that? Must have happened in that missing time gap.

So the big master plan is to turn all the humans into some weird monster hybrids.

Pleasantly surprised to see Mira Sorvino guest star last night. I normally like her, but her acting was pretty bad in this episode. It stood out more since she was mostly in scenes with Colin Cunningham, who is God awful in this show. :lol:

:thumbsup: Did like Tom beating the shit out of Mini Hitler. Glad that child camp subplot is over with.

The Lexie stuff continues to get weirder and weirder.

Forgot about that part. Yeah, that was good. Mini Hitler's hands behind the back thing was driving me mental.

The Espheni can squeeze rocks into communication devices?

this show continues to be a hot mess, but god damn it, like a battered wife I keep coming back for more.

(ps: the volcanic ash hologram scene was pretty badass looking)

Seems to be some sort of telepathy.

It keeps hitting new levels of camp each week. It is a terrible, terrible show by this point, TNT is simply playing out the string. Amazing how Mira Sorvino has come down from contending for Oscars to making cameos on a mindless, sci-fi summer cable series. I guess she is Pope's new partner.

When I watched that I wondered what type of plan was that. If the mechs had ANY they would have been dead.

This show is so bad it's good. (almost)

So all of a sudden Weaver's daughter is a mutant? WTF? Way to skip over a huge plot point.

Pope is good, he's bad. Who knows? Who cares? This show sucks anyways.:lol:

I'm about to quit on this turkey. Of the four major plotlines - the POW camp, the Hitler Youth indoctrination center, Ann as Pancho Villa, and Lexi as the Messiah - only the Great Escape-esque plotline held any interest for me. The other three have me rolling my eyes so hard I'm getting dizzy. Now four seem to have converged into two, but it's still just as much of a waste of time. The writers pull new shit out of their asses every week with no regard for logic or continuity. I just can't continue to subject myself to something that's this big of an insult to my intelligence.

I suppose many are glad the seasons are only ten episodes.

anomynous 07-16-14 06:24 AM

Re: Falling Skies (S4E04) -- "Evolve or Die" -- 7/13/14
 
But this season's 12.




1.2x the suck

And the transition of flying through the ruby or whatever he created was really hokey. It seemed like an entirely different show during that whole sequence.

I'm still watching this for some reason, but every week is another half-dozen eye-rolling moments, usually involving the damn kid story. At least the nazi-youth aspect is hopefully over.

Mira Sorvino still looks hot.

I have skipped through most of the episodes this season on fast forward. Unless Tom or the alien daughter are on the screen, the scene gets skipped.

Renewed for a 5th and final season. 10 episodes. If you managed to last this long, one more summer isn't going to kill you huh?

Just saw the renewal announcement. I thought I was slogging through the final season--now one more! I finally gave up on Californication. I can only be stupid for so long.

Another season? Why does Noah Wyle stick with this show?

Because he's the star and credited Producer. But he could probably get a much bigger paycheck signing on to a network TV series.

He's also going to be doing the new TNT show The Librarians this Fall, so his schedule isn't lighting up yet.

Yeah, this show really lost steam after season 2. I'm sticking with it because sci-fi and aliens, but it is not like appointment television at this point.

Red Dog 07-18-14 08:27 PM

Re: Falling Skies (S4E04) -- "Evolve or Die" -- 7/13/14
 
At least there is an end in sight.
