Until 'Lost' I used to think writers had a long view of where they wanted to go. That series proved they don't have a clue, nor can they correct all the holes they make along the way. I have a sinking feeling 'Skies' hired a bunch of the same geniuses. :)BernardLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722619048888613647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1405576651020920367.post-7585385300252087932011-06-29T22:33:15.538-07:002011-06-29T22:33:15.538-07:00The scene with the guy beating the alien in hand t...The scene with the guy beating the alien in hand to hand combat was pretty bad because there was no set up for why the alien should have been there. I definitely didn't like that. <br /><br />the Pope guy become camp cook I took to be deliberately humorous. It seemed kinda silly but I could tell as soon as they captured the guy he was destined to be a major character. <br /><br />There's a lot of 'cutting' off of subplots before they develop. Nip/Tuck used to do this well but Falling skies hasn't mastered that aspect of it yet.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1405576651020920367.post-84545333900588473682011-06-29T19:20:58.031-07:002011-06-29T19:20:58.031-07:00I've only watched about half of the second epi...I've only watched about half of the second episode, but yeah--must confess to raised eyebrows when they made that guy the cook, lol.<br />Not sure I want to see the rest. Maybe over the holiday weekend, if nothing else is on. :-/rainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04258822737734173873noreply@blogger.com
