Also caught the premiere if Weeds, started off slow but was pretty good. Hopefully they take this season out on a high note

CDJ... You watch this weeks Falling Skies? The freaking ending was awesome

I agree. At first, I wasn't too sure about Falling Skies, but man, it's really growing on me. I'm interested to see what direction they go with it.

Yeah so far so good. I was a little disappointed when the "fixed" the boy already but glad the turn they took.

Just got into Sons of Anarchy on netflix. I digging it.

Mors- you watch Falling Skies this week?

Spoiler: show

so you think the kids are tied to the aliens? Seems like that's why those kids started to die, since they killed that one

[morsdraconis]

No, unfortunately not yet, but I'm about to right now. Can't wait!

I'm not sure what to think right now. Part of me wants there to be a connection between them and part of me isn't sure where they are going with it. I'm definitely interested in the show but I'm wary of where they are going with it. I hope that there is more to be garnered about the aliens as I think having a complex and original background for an alien invasion story definitely makes it that much more interesting. I'm interested to see why the aliens are using the children as slaves. I'm interested to see why they can nonchalantly kill them like they did in the previous episode yet appear to have some weird maternal connection to them (as shown in this episode with the alien basically being a hen laying on it's chicks, protecting them). I'm very much interested to learn more about the mechs various flying ships that they use as well (are they piloted by one of the aliens, are they remotely controlled by a central control system, etc).

It definitely is leaving me with questions and since there is definitely gonna be a 2nd season (picked up the other day by TNT), I'm really hoping they have a solid plan for the series and don't end up winging it like Lost did.

Rescue Me series finale Wednesday.....damn I can't wait to see how they end this show.

My guess is Tommy, drunk on Vodka in the Burning Building.

I think this one drug out too long. I think season 5 would have been the perfect ending with Tommy being shot by his Uncle in the bar.

I'd have to agree. If there is going to be a connection I really hope they write it well. It could be so much better than just aliens invading for no real reason. I think the reason those kids were executed was because that one was captured and it was "parent" to those kids since it still had a connection with the 1st kid they saved.

Thoughts on episode 6 psu?

Thoughts on episode 6 psu?

I only got to watch half of it, some reason my DVR only recorded 30 min. I'm recording it again tonight at 1am.

From what I saw, pretty good. I did have one question and maybe they show it later in the episode, but what happened to the POW? They're packing up and don't show it. They mentioned killing it last episode but they didn't did they?

The doctor killed it to figure out how to easily kill them. Apparently they have a gland inside their mouth that you can take a knife (or scalpel in her case) and hit it and it pretty much kills them instantly.

As for episode 6:

Spoiler: show

VERY interesting. The skitters are desperate enough for these kids to actually work with humans that are willing to get them more so there definitely must be something very important that these kids give them (but not important enough for them not to kill the bunch that they killed a few episodes back).

[psuexv]

Oh, I didn't think she killed it, just knocked it out like the dude did when he shoved the gun in it's mouth.

That's an interesting turn, I'm pumped to watch the 2nd half of this episode

[psuexv]

Dude, that ending was nucking futs!!!!! Completely caught me off guard

I actually expected it from the moment he said "hey, give me yo kids". I'm curious at this point why he suggested the one guy come along even though he's an adult and a father of the first rescued kid. Unless he plans to somehow convince him of some good they can do or something and it relates to his kid.

I was wondering the same thing. It could be that, or it could be, since they're friends from before, maybe he thinks he'll understand his reasoning for doing it. All I know is, I didn't expect it at all. I just hope they're really going somewhere with all this and it's not Lost. Please god don't be Lost!

anyone watch wipeout? some of this stuff is hilarious!

I came across that show tonight. It reminds me A LOT of the old MXC (Most Extreme Elimination Challenge) show on SpikeTV, that used re-edited and dubbed footage from an old Japanese game show from the late 80s called Takeshi's Castle.
