I believe that was by Metalachi:

@avclub-ee2e9e1447fcb49c96e19af584ca11b4:disqus Well, the finale had Tom mention that the 2nd Mass should go and find President Hathaway's people (next season), so it's possible that nukes might come into the picture. However, I don't know that people would want to irradiate the planet with nuclear fallout. Maybe if

Re: "… Okay, tell me when Alec and Escher talked about all of this."

Re: "… I don't remember AT ALL Curtis as a freelancer …"

No, no. Freelancer Curtis is ex-Liber8or Curtis Chen. I don't know the names of the other Freelancers. Lucas hallucinated Curtis a couple of times this season, and I had a theory that Hallucination Curtis was actually an embedded program. I label the three Curtises to differentiate them (Freelancer, Liber8or, and

I agree that the Espheni are the more interesting species. However, I think a lot of that owes to Season 2's Overlord sequences. Those few moments of conversation between Tom and the Overlords gave us something concrete to work with, and that's what I'm wanting for the Volm as well.

@avclub-0db70cd20a4945b51725d7adce664557:disqus Thanks for that info.

@Kumagoro:disqus Yeah, I rolled my eyes on that in Season 2 when Red Eye mentioned it to Tom. I didn't dwell on it too much, though, because it does require quite a bit of momentum to get a resistance movement going. You can see how this plays out on our own world with societies under lifetimes of oppression and the

LOL Yes! You can tell the agoraphobia was some ridiculous plot point designed to explain why the character hadn't been seen before. However, once introduced, the writers quickly realized they need the character to be mobile (nuclear reactor plant, Volm weapon on a barge, 2nd Mass on the move, etc) ROFL! Honestly, they

Yes, I accept that all justifications for any kind of action is going to be some biased point of view. However, if it presents more concrete data than Cochise and his Catarious (apparently that's how it's spelled), I'll go along with it. I mean, honestly, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for background info on

@disqus_okgItcD0yy:disqus Yes! If they had registered surprise rather than confusion, I would have bought it. Honestly, I'd be surprised as well if Tom was all, "Look, I know you have better tech and we are clearly morons, but we'd like to stay and needlessly fling our bodies at the mechs." However, the fact that the

I just don't think the writers actually thought through their decisions. You can tell they didn't plot out the war at all, and they didn't bother to research convincing strategies and tactics for both sides. They also didn't work out the coherence of their episodes (and I still can't get over how they couldn't make 10

Yeah, I gave up on Kadar the minute he started becoming an expert in all branches of science. Mechanical engineering? Check! Genetic profiling? Check! Nuclear reactor control panels? Check! Linguistics? Check! Bombs and structural engineering? Check; check!

They should try spitting at each other's faces.

Well, the Volm only care as far as their condescension allows them to do so. Commander Volm actually made a point of saying he's never considered that the locals might want other options beyond what the Volm protocols dictate. He even thanked Tom for teaching him this profound and valuable lesson that only intelligent

Those last 20 minutes also took out the only things that made Lourdes interesting this season: her crabs. So now what? Are we getting nihilistic Lourdes back? Is she reverting all the way back to Season 1 Lourdes?

@Kumagoro:disqus Yeah, I don't like how Weaver defers to everything Tom wants. That is a major downgrade to Weaver's character, and a really artificial way to prop up Tom as the hero of the show. It's a very one-sided relationship because the sentiments Weaver expresses for Tom aren't really reciprocated in kind ROFL!

I wonder if all the Volm shown in last night's episode were played by Doug Jones. I don't see the show paying for more than one Volm costume, especially when these characters show up for only a few minutes in one episode. I noticed that Commander Volm has a noticeably different face than Cochise, but that could just

Yeah, that was way too much secretive effort for something that basically repeated what Tom did in Season 1 with a regular rocket launcher. I don't understand why the resistance never pursued that line of attack: wait for an aircraft to begin landing sequence, then shoot it out of the sky and let it crash into the

@Tops_Blooby:disqus Yes, last season gave me more of what I wanted: alien horror. Unfortunately, last season countered that goodness with one of the most intolerable group of human beings I've ever had the misfortune of watching LOL! I seriously dreaded coming back this season, and held off a few episodes before
