Thought the pilot was pretty good. Definitely want to see more before making a final decision, but I will probably watch again.

Interesting invasion scenario and humans using partisan tactics to fight them off.

Just saw the pilot. Pretty interesting. I'll definitely keep watching for now.

Though I think would have killed Major Davis rather than getting a prisoner to haul around.

I watched the first two episodes and it was interesting. Will watch a few more for sure.

Third episode was less dramatic though a bit interesting. I am disappointed that the show's writers decided to go with the age old "stupid people" dramatic element. Why is it in these shows people turn into bumbling retards?

This show is not good. I'm packing it in after slogging through 4 episodes.

I'm still interested. Pretty stupid they never put a guard on the skitter though. You'd think that would be the first thing they do.

I was also surprised that guy died, seems like they could have played up the tension with Noah Wyle awhile longer.

Eh, it was kind of interesting. I do like how the mech alloy was impervious to human bullets but apparently had the same melting point as lead.

I just watched my downloads. Interesting, but Tom's time with the overlord (as I've heard some call it) was less satisfying than I hoped. We really didn't get a feel for the alien's motivation beyond "we kill you because you suck."

Yeah I was hoping for more about that, but I'm sure it will be fleshed out more in the coming episodes. It seems like they were trying to fit way too much stuff in such a short amount of time (like how he traveled from Michigan to Boston without incident).

Season 2 finale was pretty sweet. Saw Tom's "OMG, don't torture my pregnant girlfriend." solution to torture coming from miles away. Hal's parasite is rather lame too. They introduced new aliens though, which is completely fucking awesome. Too bad we have to wait until 2013 to see what happens next.
