Mine is utterly mangled from having lived in multiple areas of the UK, although I blame my heavily accented friends.

Agree with all of this. Falling Skies always fell back on cliches when it got stuck in a corner, and this episode was pretty terrible. The only thing I'm glad Tom did was shoot Karen when she was more or less undefended. If I have to see the damn 'OMG MY BABY IS AN ALIEN OH NOES' plot once more, I might just explode;…

That's right :) I'm liking what I see so far. The Riddick universe was always an interesting mix, I'm glad they are revisiting it. Also: giant freaky torso scorpions (I'm going to trademark that name).

The primary problem with Episode I for me (ignoring the obvious) is it assumes you know all about the Jedi and their way of doing things from the outset i.e. you've seen Episodes 4-6. They should have had Anakin completely ignorant about the lore, and taught him everything in a way that paralleled Luke's chat later…

With Michael Emerson as Alfred?

Does he get to keep the dog?

Agreed. Maybe it might encourage writers to flesh out characters more?

What about site to site wormhole generation? Open a portal, pop through, close portal. No pesky transporter copies!

Pretty sure it's the Marker from Dead Space, so this story can't end well!

That's fair enough :D

It was the end that bothered me, from a scientific standpoint. The rest of the story was ok, if a bit tedious. It just wasn't his best book.

Not me I'm afraid. I haven't touched it after playing it through once, and I'm not sure nostalgia will make me get the DLC. Have Elizabeth and Booker sneak onto the Von Braun pre-infestation, then I'll be impressed. Fuck, that WOULD be a lot of nostalgia!

It wasn't a terrible 'twist' per se, more that they dwell more on the science of multiverse travel and then it becomes massively metaphysical at the end.

Lol, it's not as bad as Swarm.

It's the more unusual low-budget ones that are often far better and slip under the radar. I quite enjoyed The Pact, The Innkeepers and Absentia, although the last one is more creature than ghost. Still, I think the market is crying out for something genuinely scary that doesn't rely on jump scares or copious amounts…

Another ghost story rolls off the cliche-wagon. There must be some more inventive stories out there, surely.

That's interesting, but I always thought she had a psychological breakdown due to her mistreatment of her little brother.

Set this on the Von Braun just prior to Shodan taking over, and we'll talk.

Did they ever mention why the Espheni use Earth-based materials to build all their stuff? It seemed like a hook to suggest their invasion wasn't exactly planned, but it never went anywhere.
