Over the long holiday weekend, almost caught up on Falling Skies. Four episodes left from last season. I didn't think I'd dig it when it came out, but I really dig it now.

As for Mad Men, that is one that I need to get started on eventually. Thankfully it's on Netflix.

Defiance (May 20th episode)

Spoiler: show

A lot happened at the end of the May 20th episode. Killing the bomber dude. Eddie taking the fall for Nolan. Quentin killing the glasses dude and disposing of his body. Eddie being pretty much proved as the guy that gave the bomber the packet of stuff in the jail cell and then setting the stage for him to break his way out before the episode ended. It was a bit of a slow episode, a lot of back and forth between the bomber guy running and Nolan and company trying to find him, then it all ratcheted up in the final 20 minutes or so.

Tomorrow's new episode definitely should be good based on the preview they gave.

Yeah I was surprised that dude with the glasses was killed off. Thought he'd be a major player in the main storyline. Kinda surprised that Eddie was to break the pyro guy out of the jail cell, and also surprised he turned on Nolan, and then surprised he took the fall but he'll be free from the E-Reps in no time after a little water and salt pills. BOOM!

Falling Skies is all caught up.

Spoiler: show

Really dug the first two season and excited for next week's season premiere. Was kinda shocked that Karen was that shady, thought she was going to go along with the Skitter rebellion. It was too bad that the red eyed Skitter died. Started to like him It'll be interesting to see who this new alien is. Looked kinda friendly with a smile on his face, just going to be very interesting where the tide turns now that the military fish head leader is dead.

Yeah, I had the glasses guy pegged as a major player too. He was constantly seen with the former mayor lady and involved in all the "evil" plotting of the previous episodes. So it definitely surprised me when Quentin killed him. If anything, I thought it was Quentin who was screwed. I guess glasses guy should have charged his zapper a little longer that morning.

Yeah, Eddie kind of surprised me too. While he was high up my suspicion list after Nolan confronted him with the baggie (especially since he wanted the bomber so badly), I also had glasses guy among my list of suspects with him involved in everything else that has gone wrong in Defiance.

Yeah, Eddie was doing some serious waffling there. "I'm turning you in, sorry, it's just what I gotta do"..."I did it, he had nothing to do with it". But yeah, while he took the fall, he'll be free again in no time.

I also wonder if we might have received a hit of a future plot in the series. When Eddie turned on Nolan and said he was turning him over to the E-Reps, he said Nolan had, if I remember right, a quarter million bounty on his head. Makes me wonder if someone else will get wind of Nolan's whereabouts and come looking for him in a future episode to collect on the bounty.

Falling Skies Part 1 Tonight....

Spoiler: show

They sure like to skip ahead and make you wonder what happened in the time between at the start of a season

At least we got some flashbacks at the start of season two.

So who do you think is the mole? I think it's that one top general dude, but now that Hal seems to actually be walking into the forest to meet Karen, it could be him too. Obviously Hal was my first thought with the probe inside him, then I thought maybe that was too obvious. Outside shot that it is Pope.

Falling Skies Part Two tonight...

Spoiler: show

Not much outside of the mole falling for the plan. The mole came in just as they were about to leave right? So that would rule Hal out. Or would it?

For anyone who missed or is interested in The Killing season 3. Amazon has the first episode (2 hours) form last week for free. Pretty sure anyone can watch it (not limited to prime users). I loved the first two seasons and so far season 3 has been good, including tonight's episode.

Awesome. I haven't taken the time to watch the next season yet. I'm interested to see if it can stay interesting as it truly looked like they were going to just end it there after season 2.

Oh, you're in for a doozy when you get caught up. A lot has gone down in these last four episodes.

[JBHuskers]

Anyone watching Falling Skies this year?

Anyone watching Falling Skies this year?

Yeah, though I've forgotten to watch the last 3 or 4 episodes.

Drunk History is debuting on Comedy Central tonight. Basically comedians and celebs get hammered, re-enact historical scenes, and their voices are dubbed. Came from Funny or Die and looks hilarious. Tonight stars Jack Black, Dave Grohl, Bob Odenkirk, and Will Forte.

Not sure where to post this epic come back for a TV series but here it goes.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are making a web based come back this fall 2013. It looks like it will be a show. Here is a trailer. For any of you remembering the power rangers this show is suppose take place before Zeo,Turbo and in space series and the other didn't exist in this story line. A whole new line of heroes take place. To me it looks pretty damn good for a non profit film I can't wait.

None of what I just read made any lick of sense. Granted, I only watched that show for a couple years in the early-90s, not watching it anymore after sometime around 1994. Sounds like they took what was at least a simple, entertaining show and blew it all to shit with a bunch of stupid spin-offs.
