In fairness to Falling Skies, that show has had a really strong final season so far — so much so that I'm actually sorry they'll be wrapping up all their plot threads in just two weeks. UTD *wishes* it had Falling Skies' writers…

Honestly I didn't react much to Eva's smothering because I was still giggling from that childbirth scene. Everything about that sequence — from Julia pushing down on Eva's stomach to the baby shooting out in 3.4 seconds like a baked potato — was just hilarious. This show NEEDS a best comedy Emmy nomination!

I don't see how they can. If Kara is in real trouble, there's no way her cousin would stay in Metropolis and let her get hurt. With his super speed, he'd be there in seconds. I feel like the viewers will constantly be asking "but where's Superman?"

Speaking of which, why the hell is CBS running SG in the same time slot as Gotham? Many people don't use DVR's, so what were they thinking?

EL, I rarely watch CBS, and the only trailers I've seen have involved lots of little girls doing girl power poses with SG. Which is great because we need more superheroes for girls, but makes it seem more like a Taylor Swift video than, say, in the Flash/Arrow/Constantine/Gotham universe. So I'm still on the fence.

Sidebar: As a Superman fan who hasn't seen the SG pilot, do they address where Big Blue is during this show? Does he have an offscreen mentoring relationship with her? Is Kal even mentioned, or is Kara the only superbeing in this show's universe?

Jeez, the explosion scene. I had to rewind that mess three times just to figure out WTH was going on. The Quinlan scenes were SO good that I thought I finally had someone truly badass to root for on this show. (Love Fet, but they're ruining him with this stupid triangle/jealousy plot.)

Thank you! That was the most anticlimactic return in TV history. Eph just waltzes back home like he was down at Trader Joe's getting Two Buck Chuck. And no one even seems that interested in his huge DC mission, nor does he bother to tell them how it went. Not saying we needed a huge scene, but shouldn't he at least

Especially when he said, "what did you expect? You took up with the man who killed your husband!" I LOVED that. There's at least one writer/intern at UTD who gets it…

And what parents send their beloved daughter out to deliver food during a vampire apocalypse? Why would anyone left in NYC not be huddling behind their boarded up windows the second twilight hits?

[very late in saying this, but] Thank you! But given everything that's happened since, would he really still be Public Enemy #1?

Yeah, every time they subject us to another "Power of Tru Luv" scene with Barbie and Julia and the swelling music, I fight to keep my dinner down. Are UTD viewers *really* that invested in this boring couple and the "triangle"? They're all under an alien dome and in constant threat of death, and we're supposed to

"While were having fun with math, it was mentioned twice tonight that there are 2000 people left under the dome, which…what?"

Given all the "it's Medieval!" and "Feraldo's goons" remarks from the main cast, I think we are supposed to believe Justine is some Neo-Fascist tyrant in the making. But IMO she is the first government character since the show started who seemed to have a clue, and this was the first episode that even VAGUELY seemed

And Head Agent even made a worried comment about whether his guy had gotten the "white stuff" on his face! (I think the younger guy said "my neck is fine" which means they think these are classic Dracula-style vamps.) They should all have Hazmat-style masks on…

Can someone remind me why exactly Eph is still a "fugitive"? I know I should remember, but my memory of this show evaporates soon after watching. Was the CDC publicly accusing him of starting the epidemic, or of trying to scare people with crazy theories of vampire infections?

There was a kid guest-starring on Falling Skies last week who looked and sounded EXACTLY like Zach in five years, and I reflexively yelled "oh, shut up" at the screen several seconds after he appeared. Either the kid playing Zach has an older brother or Zach has become The Master and is replicating to other

Seriously. Last episode's world apocalypse was the only really surprising and emotional moment in the past two seasons, and now Christine just hand-waves that away. What was the point?

Poor Carolyn. Finally gets some screen time this season, only to be crushed by styrofoam boulders. Apparently her love for her longtime wife (who died a week ago) or daughter wasn't a strong enough emotion to initially break her free from alien mind control, but whatever.

Not talking about getting to work (my Manhattan office was closed the week of Hurricane Sandy — I doubt it would be open during a vampire apocalypse). I'm talking about getting off-island to somewhere safer! Thanks a lot, Fet…
