OH DEAR GOD...this show is really going bad now. I just watched episodes 4 and 5 back to back, and its clear where things are going now. The stories all take place at a San Fernando high school out here in the Valley (Southern California), and there are now blatant religious displays (ONLY Christianity, and Catholicism specifically). There are candles and shrines and children laughing and running through the halls, whilst the womenfolk organize a freakin BABY SHOWER? Where have we seen this before? A BABY SHOWER? REALLY? Those kids running around, arent they the prime human targets for skitters and dont they make noise and dont the skitters know there are at least 200 humans holed up at that high school?
THIS IS STUPID!
I have to wonder what sort of show this is going to turn out to be if it is clearly a sci-drama leaning towards the soap aisle. I found the sudden outburst by Moon's character surprising and poignant, as did I like the privately sensitive moments of the Military leader dude (cant think of names anymore). I dont like the waste of time and introduction of pure soap like that baby shower, and I didnt like the candles and the shrine set up. Candles = living people = targets = YAWN.
Am I supposed to turn half my brain off, or take a handful of some prescription drug I cant pronounce but can be found at a therapist's office before I watch this show?
Bright spots, were Moon reaching into the skitters mouth and killing it after stunning it first. The look on the older son's face whilst he watch was CLASSIC...like "Wha?" Good scene. But both in episodes 4 and 5, we get treated to lame music montages and pretty scenes and tinkling piano at the end...very artsy, very illogical and takes away from the overall enjoyment. This show is still not doing it for me.
