You're right, that will definitely happen. I wish I had faith that this show will rise above this hopelessly cliched plotline, but I don't. (I should add that like the review says, I like the show and am just having trouble coming to terms with it's faults.)

This show is like True Blood in that it is so bored with conclusion to each season's main storyline that it gets it out of the way in the most perfunctory manner possible in order to set up whatever they're going to do next season. A year from now they'll be lazily ending the Alien Master Chiefs plotline because the…

Yes! That was excellent. I really, really, really want that as a ring tone or something.

Totally agree with the A grade. This episode knocked it out of the park. In fact, I don't think your review even mentions just how funny it was ("Does that apply the winner of a Clippy award?")

Exactly. It's also a little weird because in this day and age news moves fast. So I read all the commentary about Gabby Douglas' hair a few days ago, and I read all about the mixing up of Sikhs and Muslims almost a week ago, etc. This is kind of limiting when it's a once-a-week show, especially because TDS and Colbert…

Can you spoil this show? I don't think it's possible.

Yeah, Jewel Staite: apparently much more than just Kaylee. She's killing it.

Agreed. They have this awesome, creepy premise and surprisingly good production values (gotta admit, the skitters look pretty great for a medium-budget TV show) and then it just seems like they are so lazy. It's almost as if they did all this work setting up the world and designing scenes with CGI aliens that they…

This episode would be so much better if the writers on this show could actually write interesting dialogue. In the annals of "episodes where an imprisoned outsider fucks with the cast's heads despite being locked up," this isn't exactly going to be remember as a landmark moment. Whoever wrote this episode should have…

At Carnegie Mellon University, there's a joke about the "CMU Spelling Bee," which is a reference to the fact that CMU is filled with scientific and mathematical brainiacs who can't spell (or write) for crap.

I noticed that, too. Their vehicles have to be insulated because otherwise the aliens can see their heat signatures, but an entire hospital? Whatevs, I'm sure it'll fly under the radar.
