Falling Skies: 208 "Death March" Review
With the end approaching, it was the right time for the long trip to Charleston to finally conclude. And he did, by the way, we saw some characters struggling to cling to the hope that they got where they are, and others reveal parts of his past that are less proud . It was definitely a filler episode and, rather unfortunately never managed to escape feeling as such.The contrast between the characters and their various discussions and revealing, it was nice at first. However, when it began to occupy most of the episode, it was very boring. I support exploring the depths of true character, but most of what we thought uninteresting and unnecessarily restricts dramatized.Maggie revelation that she took drugs, stolen houses, was sent to prison and took his son away from her, for example, felt a bit improvised and unimportant in the context of the issue. Of course, in the real world, this story is very important, but in a world that has been ravaged by foreign invaders, in which we struggle to survive every step of the way is just trivial information, and does not real impact on the series itself. In addition, little Hal sulk about it only lasted ten minutes before he gave her a reassuring smile and all was forgiven. So what purpose this plot element are exactly?
Much more interesting is well deserved honor to step Tector - with the revelation that he is just a "hillbilly", but a Marine who suffered a traumatic experience. Exchanges between him and Weaver, and how he comes to accept his leadership not only wrong in Afghanistan, but his belief that the death Boon was his fault too, which later led him to help and to comfort Weaver himself , It was very moving. Although this part of the episode was not the most exciting stories difficulties or inspiration derived from his character, unlike Maggie, have a real influence on the current situation and were much more sincere.Moments away from the main character centric episode, there was an alien presence in history. Unfortunately, instead of being a part of the field that has improved the episode just slide even lower.Jenny, a young exploited, which is old for a vehicle of resistance is immediately collected and cared for. You must question the decision to keep on board, taking into account the recent disasters were caused by Karen, another victim of the harness, and I wonder if the time of second mass really learns his lesson. They seem to make the same mistakes again and again, but, miraculously, almost always unscathed. Other than that, however, there is another problem with this particular element of the plot.It all feels very basic, just arrived, their presence becomes an obvious danger - in the form of his brother also operated, wanting to recover - and shortly after she disappeared again and seems to have had no impact on the overall story at all. It is clear that the purpose of their participation was to inject a little excitement into otherwise boring episode, but it did not work.Unfortunately, it is only in the last moments of the episode that really delivers. After discovering the ruins of Charleston, and apparently realize that "paradise" did not exist, they receive a surprise visit from a character who thinks he's dead. Porter, who disappeared after the catastrophic events of the end of the season, suddenly reappears and ensures that Charleston is in fact real.
