Although many of this weeks quick resolutions dont seem earned, Falling Skies delivers some surprise moments.
This review contains spoilers for the latest episode.
Sometimes I dont mind easy victories.
But sometimes a win can lose a bit of its impact when the trouncing isnt realistic.
Brian, the skitterized human with a sister, was one such hurdle.
Instead, the siblings served only as a vehicle to get Hal and Maggie close to an Overlord.
Once they had completed their narrative task, they were summarily dispatched.
Granted, the gathering of intel via Ben and Maggie combining the power of their spikes was pretty cool.
Imagine what would have happened had the Overlord been able to communicate using the compressed lump of earth!
I love this development for a beloved character that has been in the background for far too long!
The reluctant hero is always a great motif lets run with it!
