Wow, so much going on in this episode after things seemed to have been moving in slow motion the first couple of episodes this season.
Random thoughts, not necessarily confined to the latest episode:
I'm glad Father Doug is insisting that "we do this right"--him leaving the priesthood, Chelsea leaving her husband. Anything else would have seemed squicky to me. I liked it a lot when the front desk clerk at the hotel turned out to be someone that Father Doug knew from before. (Had he been an altar boy? Can't remember.)
Liked Glimmer's "heart attack" but sorry that he's got a gambling addiction.
Eric's treatment of Jeff is drearily familiar to anyone who's experienced the transition after a corporate buyout: Old staff does excellent job; new manager pretends to be everyone's friend at first with the false joviality; new manager then makes life miserable for everyone whom he wants to get rid of; old staff, despite years of experience and excelling in everything they do, will never be able to please new boss and ends up out on their butts and unemployed with their reputations destroyed.
I think Eric's programmed Gerry to be a loaded gun/ticking time bomb--Eric's secret weapon for the final confrontation with whoever happens to be in the resistance. Maybe that's the reason why the Reptilian/White/Grey Alliance got bought out by Eric's Floating Box Corporation. Could it be that the Resistance had gotten too big for the original Alliance to suppress, so they decided to join up with a bigger organization to smash the Resistance? Also, I wonder if Eric's dislike of Jeff has some type of Racial/Species bigotry component? Are the Reptilians the biggest group of Aliens? How did the Aliens form their alliance in the first place? How old are Jonathan, Jeff, Don and Kurt? Is Jeff the last of his species or are there small populations of Greys scattered throughout the galaxy?
Yay, Kurt is back!
Was Agent Foster a human baby who was abducted from her parents shortly after she born, or is she an Alien/Human hybrid? Or, is she a fully human product of a breeding experiment that was conducted on the Alien ship? If so, were her biological parents (genetic material contributors) possibly members of StarCrossed?
Nancy!
I liked the direction that Ozzie's character had been going this season with his throwing himself wholeheartedly into the hunt for the truth about the Aliens and accepting without reservation that he had been an experiencer. Then--Oh, no! Ozzie! Lead character, right? So I think he's in suspended animation/stunned as AnimeMania said.
The Deer!

I think he's a fellow resident in the independent living facility where Margaret lives.

TBS rebroadcast Episode 1 at 7:30 EDT this evening (Wednesday). I hope they're planning on a re-show every week.
Missed a kind of throwaway line during the initial broadcast: One of Eric's security detail, on meeting Jeff, says, [paraphrasing] " . . .I thought they [the Greys] were extinct!" I wonder if Jeff is supposed to be the last of his species or maybe there are just a very few of them left?
Really curious how the Agent Foster character will develop. And yes, Ennis needs to come back!
How many episodes will be shown this season?
(I still wish they could resurrect Kurt!)

Enjoyed the Season 2 premiere. So much going on!
So, I guess this isn't some type of "Space Aliens Conquer Earth" type of thing, but more "Big Multi-Star System Mega-Corporation Enslaves Earthlings to Provide Labor for Their Various Business Ventures"? (What with Eric's talk of mergers and takeovers. . .)
I think that was Don's funniest moment in the series by far when he pretended that the strange woman in the hospital was his mother and then had that moment talking to himself in the mirror trying to get up his nerve to confess about all the lies he had told.
Richard is seriously delusional. "My girlfriend, Nancy," indeed! (Loved it when the FBI agent was viewing the interrogation recording with the collaborator cop rolling his eyes at the camera when Richard made his statements about Reptilian Aliens.)
Yay, Gerry!
Have mixed feelings about all the previews they showed at the end of the episode. On the one hand, the previews made me eager to see all the rest of the episodes for this season; on the other hand, it's nice to have some surprises left when a new episode is shown.
Father Doug and Chelsea? Still haven't changed my mind: Ew. . .

TBS had the Season 1 marathon on this morning. Missed most of it since I didn't realize it was on until almost the end of the marathon. Was good to able to watch what little of it that I could manage.
-
Why, oh, why did TBS move this show to 10:30 pm??! It's going to be a struggle for me--I can hardly keep awake past the 8:00 hour, much less 10:00. . . Need to come up with some kind of stay-awake strategy! That said, I can hardly wait until tomorrow night!
-
Yay! Just five more days to go. . .

Does anyone know when the new season will be airing in the US?
On 4/13/2017 at 1:59 PM, fauntleroy said:Season 4 has begun on PBS at least in the Boston area. Episode 2 was on Wednesday night.
Our local PBS station still hasn't broadcast any of Season 4. I'm wondering if this series is one which PBS doesn't purchase for national broadcast but rather a series that the local affiliates have to purchase on their own? If so, and if our local station opts not purchase Season 4, I'll be quite disappointed. Guess I'll have to buy the series on DVD.

I guess my strongest reaction to the finale was disappointment. This series seemed to have so much potential. And I thought that the other characters didn't do enough to help Burton.
Any word on whether this show has been renewed?

I hope this show comes back soon. Was lucky to be able to watch the entire series during the post-Christmas TBS binge-a-thon. I really want to see what happens to everyone. I agree with the "ew!" reaction to Father Doug/Chelsea, though. Don't do it, Father Doug!!

I think both Barnaby's wife (Jean?) and Cully are annoying. The wife seems to be an "in-crowd-wannabe" type and Cully doesn't understand how demanding and restrictive and dangerous Barnaby's occupation is. Neither of them seem to appreciate him much.

Discovered a couple of months back that our local PBS station has been showing seasons 1-3 on Friday nights at 11:00 pm(??!!!) What the heck?! I can't stay up that late. I'm hoping that they decide to rebroadcast everything and then show Season 4 on Saturday nights at 9:00/10:00 as they were doing before. I like this series a lot. Just hope it doesn't go all stupid. Have to admit I've read some spoilers and it just seems as if things will be getting more complicated and in kind of a frustrating way. We'll see, I guess.
On 2/17/2017 at 4:01 PM, Ceindreadh said:Lucien came back at the beginning of S2 having met up with his daughter. It didn't go all that well, IIRC, he told Jean that his daughter was angry at having been abandoned. However, they must have agreed to keep up a correspondence. We haven't seen her on screen so far.
I'm still hoping that his daughter shows up eventually and that they at least have a cordial relationship, even if they can't quite re-establish family ties.

Really happy that we're getting a double episode tonight!
Really sad that it's the season finale. . . Wish that they had extended the season. I wonder how long we're going to have to wait until Season 2?

As I recall Burton and Tess, both fairly upscale, live in the same apartment building, and have passed in the hall.
Which leads to the question: Were they both steered to that same apartment building when they were house-hunting?
By the way, here's a [most likely incomplete] list of some Falling Water phrases:

Meant to comment on last week's episode before this but got sidetracked with other non-tv things going on. This post contains comments on the last two episodes. (I haven't read any recaps of the episodes yet, so a lot of my questions may be answered somewhere else.)
I think they've revealed a lot of things in the last two episodes, but everything that they reveal just adds more questions about where this whole story is headed. It just seems to get more convoluted the further they go and everything seems to have past connections to everything else.
It's likely that I missed something in a previous episode, but I'm starting to wonder whether all the parties--with the exception of Bill--competing for The Boy are just different factions of the same organization that just happened to have a falling out. Is Topeka a place, a group, an idea, or maybe all three and more? Topeka, Vert (Green Sneakers Cult, after the name on the shoe box lids), Aeskyton, The Firm, H. Robert, Mr. Song(?), the Belgian ambassador: they all seem to know one another, and not in the way that competitors in the business world have knowledge of the parties against whom they're competing. The connections seem more personal. Alice did mention that the Belgian ambassador had been "one of us" and had betrayed them. I think what is scary is how the various factions are wasting so much time trying to get control of The Boy while Bill is free to perfect his dream-controlling technology. All the groups should be pooling their resources to oppose Bill instead of trying to get the upper hand on the other factions, I think. The question is, though, if one of the factions does succeed in defeating Bill, will that faction make sure to destroy his methods and his mechanisms, or will that faction keep the technology and methodology for themselves so they themselves can gain control over the entire dream world?
How did Bill--who claimed an inability to dream lucidly--become so adept at accomplishing physical things in the dream world to the point where he could teach his minions how to do things also? The whole vibrating thing--which kind of reminds me of something in a particular episode of Star Trek Original Series where alien beings were out of phase with "normal" time--which allows him/his minion to attain superhuman strength, is so strange and daunting. How does one overcome something like that, if one is opposed to Bill? He beat the crap out of Burton. Still can't decide whether or not he controls the faceless dream people or whether he killed them. By the way, it seems as if most of the faceless dream people may have been Aeskyton/Vert members at one time. How did he subvert them to his will to the point where he could control their actions in the dream world? [Also, the drawing of Bill on the flyers that Tess found seem to have been drawn by her also. When? At the same time that she drew the picture(s) of The Boy?]
Kumiko: In a previous post, I had stated that the cylindrical sculpture that Bill and Tess had seen while dreaming together had been studded with old, black typewriter keys. I'm thinking that I was probably wrong about what I seen and that what was actually attached to the cylinder were the same type of viewing glass eyepieces that Kumiko had installed in the compartment that she had built for Vert and that Taka was using to find Tess. I'm wondering if the sculpture and the compartment are inside out versions of each other. If one looks into the eyepieces attached to the sculpture, would one be able to see the dream world also? When did Kumiko build the seeking chamber--before or after she went catatonic? Since The Boy is seven years old and Kumiko has been in a catatonic state for seven years, did The Boy's birth--or some event connected to it--trigger the change in her state of being? Thought the scene where Alice starts to channel Kumiko, then Kumiko starts talking with Taka on her own was pretty cool. I also liked the scene in the last episode where Taka and Kumiko are talking on the park bench, especially since Kumiko, in her dream state interactions with Taka, doesn't seem particularly scared or worried--she just wants to come back to the waking world so she can be with her son again.
To me, the dream-invading, crack smoking woman in white is the most repellent character in the whole series, even more so than Bill. I find nothing even remotely redeeming about her. She's all affectation and depravity. I don’t know if she's supposed to be irresistible, but the smugly superior attitude, the oily, slicked-down hair, exaggerated make-up, rotten-looking teeth and dream blackmail are irritating and annoying. Even though Woody labeled her a "succubus," she seems as if she's more of a mental vampire feeding off of other people's dreams because she has none of her own. Wouldn't bother me if Bill or someone else decides to dispose of her. [Is "luster" (lustre?) a street name for crack or is the drug she's taking supposed to be something else entirely?]
Woody: What is his game, anyway? I was thinking that he may be slightly insane because of his behavior, but now I'm wondering if he's really just completely terrified because of what may happen in the future if the conflict between the factions really starts to escalate. His whole attitude may be "WTF, the world's coming to an end anyway, so I'll just do whatever it takes to save my own skin." I still do think that he may be The Boy's biological father. Could be Woody's parents brought Woody into Aeskyton at Momster's direction for the express purpose of fathering The Boy. That whole "I care for you" thing with Tess was so eye-rolling, though. By the way, if the woman in white is a "succubus," does that make Woody an "incubus"?
If I'm not mistaken, Burton, Tess and Taka first became aware of each other in the dream state during the episode when Alice killed the Belgian ambassador in Marcello's. I can't remember if Burton has ever encountered Tess in the waking world, but I think he has yet to meet Taka. If they ever do get together, I think they'll make a good team, mostly because of what Woody said to Burton: "If they ever find out what you can do, you're going to scare a lot of people." [Paraphrasing.] Burton seems to be able to find/open/use portals into and out of the dream world (Narnia, anyone?). Taka and Tess seem to have different dream abilities from Burton: Taka's is maybe finding people, plus Ann-Marie seemed apprehensive when he pushed her away that time when they were dreaming; Tess has already demonstrated she can kill someone in a dream when she took a pickaxe to that guy's chest. As a team, it seems as if they wouldn't be susceptible to manipulation and would be able to overcome whatever obstacles anybody would try to throw in their way. If they banded together, they could probably prevent Bill and/or Topeka/other factions from taking over the dream world.

It's kind of haunting and so representative of the time period I am wondering if it's
a "real" song, only obscure. I feel like I almost know the rest of the words. . . .I also am starting to like the song they keep playing. It kind of gets stuck in your head--not to the point that it becomes an earworm, but it definitely lingers. Still have no idea what the lyrics are, even though I watch the show with closed-captioning on sometimes.
Has anyone seen/heard anything definitive as to the renewal/cancellation of the series?

Wow! It feels as if this show is finally hitting its stride! Great episode. Need to digest and will comment more later.
Re: the previews--disappointed to see that there are only two episodes left. I hope the viewership has increased enough that USA will renew the series. Fingers crossed.

Durn! Just as I was ready to continue disliking Jonathan, he goes and saves Ozzie's life! Wonder if he'll now play a more active role in saving Earth from an alien takeover.
Cracked me up when Jonathan's reptilian boss mentioned Bono, Elon Musk and Nancy Pelosi as reptilian alien infiltrators.
Gerry can't catch a break. He was right about the timing of the abductions, but the scout ship was so shorthanded that Jeff Grey missed the pickup! And Don White was no help at all. On the other hand, I was glad that Gerry and Yvonne admitted their feelings for each other.
Looks as if things are really going to start happening in next week's episode!

officetemp, I complained about that commercial somewhere, but my problem is the song doesn't rhyme, it feels like a line is left out. And someone told me it was an old Irish lullaby and there are other lines. But it still annoys me.
I've seen two different versions of the commercial--the first one I saw is the one with the lines missing; the second one has the complete(?) verse and is about twice as long as the first version, I think. (I say "first" and "second," but I'm not sure which is the original version, actually.) It doesn't matter to me which version it is, though, because I just don't like the singer's delivery and, as soon as I see the beginning of the commercial, I either hit the mute button or change the channel.

[Read back on the thread for a few weeks and didn't see this particular commercial mentioned, so thought I'd comment on it.]
I'm really irritated by the Volvo commercial that uses excerpts from Walt Whitman's "Song of the Open Road", mostly because, to me, the idea of that poem seems to be the antithesis of the lifestyle associated with the product the ad is trying to sell. Maybe it's just me, but I've always thought that "Song of the Open Road" was about letting go of attachments and living an unburdened life, free to wander wherever one chooses. Yet, here's this guy in the ad, driving this luxury car that costs tens of thousands of dollars, knowing his exact location at any one moment thanks to his GPS, hauling all of his electronic devices--and dragging his connectivity--with him everywhere that he goes. Maybe a more appropriate quotation from the same poem for the commercial would be:
Quote"(Still here I carry my old delicious burdens,
"I carry them, men and women, I carry them with me wherever I go,
"I swear it is impossible for me to get rid of them,
"I am fill'd with them, and I will fill them in return.)"
The other thing that annoys me about this ad is that the voice-over is so blah. The person reading the quotations is so expressionless that he seems as if he's some high schooler who's reading the poem as an assignment in speech class. No sense of wonder, no joy, no eager anticipation of new experiences associated with leaving the familiar behind.
Another ad that really annoys: Huggies Diapers with the drunk-sounding woman singing the jingle that starts, "We all need a hug in the morning. . ." Have to hit the mute button whenever that commercial comes on.

I'm finding this series more and more interesting with each new episode. Random thoughts:
It was surprising and yet not surprising to find out that Woody had once been a member of Aeskyton (Green Sneakers Cult)--first Tess' flashback a couple of episodes back and now Tess and Woody meeting for breakfast. Woody's such a gray-area character. Is he a good guy or a bad guy and how are "good" and "bad" defined in this show? He seems to have left Aeskyton out of fear, but he's now allied himself with the adversarial Topeka, which may be an equally fearsome and ruthless organization; the groups are battling for control of Special Boy. And I found Woody's statement regarding Elizabeth--"I never meant to cause her any pain"--especially ludicrous, since he intentionally entered her dreams to conduct a prolonged, deliberate and methodical seduction of her while she was in the dream state. As she said, it was rape. Also, maybe I'm reading too much into stuff, but could Woody be Special Boy's biological father--maybe not as a result of a relationship with Tess, but maybe as a [reluctant, but coerced by cult leader] sperm donor? Tess did say that Woody was the only one who visited her while she was in the psychiatric hospital. And it seemed as if Woody had no problem abducting Special Boy for Topeka while the Boy was being transported.
I, too, found it strange that Tess would not want to discuss with Taka their common interests. I could understand that she would not want to mention things in front of Sabine, but she could have at least given her number to Taka or asked for his business card so they could get together later without Sabine. And I don’t understand her running back to Bill, who seems untrustworthy, at best.
With Bill, is anything he says the truth? He seems to be lying about almost everything, even about not being able to dream lucidly. It would make sense that he's the one controlling the faceless dream people. Is he working strictly for himself or is he allied with either Aeskyton or Topeka? Or maybe he's afraid of what may happen should the two groups actually engage in an all-out war to control the world and is just trying to find a way to survive the anticipated conflict. Does he want Special Boy for his own use?
Regarding Sabine, I'm wondering if Sabine is resentful of Tess since it seems that Momster lost interest in Sabine at a very early age and started concentrating almost solely on Tess. Maybe the childhood neglect is what led to Sabine's controlling personality. Also, is Sabine envious because Tess was the one who was "chosen" to be Special Boy's mother? (Does Tess know about Sabine's particular propensity for, uh, "non-contact" sex?) Is it possible that Sabine is secretly working for/with Topeka?
So, according to what David said to Taka, Special Boy has almost Messianic characteristics. I thought David was kind of an appealing character--he seemed so earnest and a true believer, despite being ejected from Aeskyton because he was deemed lacking is some way.
Taka's mom (Kumiko) seems as if she was a prolific artist when she was still capable of creating her sculptures. I would assume if Kumiko had had any kind of a following during her productive years as a sculptor that her works would be immensely valuable on the current market given that she's in a profound and, for all anyone knows, permanent catatonic state. However, her works seem to be scattered all over the city. Are the Green Sneakers responsible for her works being dispersed? I did notice that that cylindrical Kumiko sculpture Tess and Bill saw (when they were dreaming together a couple of episodes ago) was studded with old, black typewriter keys.
Burton seems to be the only one who's being proactive in trying to find what he's looking for. I thought the scenes in the storage facility were spooky as hell even before the power outage. No telling what kind of people you could encounter in a place like that. When the lights went out, I thought Burton may have fallen into the dream state instead of it being a power outage. It's chilling to think that The Woman in Red (whom we now know is a journalist who was writing a book about Aeskyton) is probably locked away someplace, totally drugged up so that she is forced to sleep and dream in a way that's controlled by Aeskyton.
At the beginning, it seemed to me as if Burton was the most vulnerable/expendable of the three main characters because he didn't seem to have the same capabilities that Tess and Taka may have. However, ever since that scene a couple of episodes back where Woody talks about Burton's abilities, Burton seems to be the one who'd be most effective in trying to shape events while dreaming. I also thought it was quite compassionate of Burton to take Elizabeth to a psychiatric hospital instead of to the police after she shot Woody. I kind of cheered for Elizabeth when she said that it had felt great to shoot Woody. (Did Woody refer to her as "Bizzy" in that scene where he's bleeding on the floor of the entrance to his apartment building?)
Are Burton, Taka and Tess "special" but not as special as The Boy?

Enjoying the series so far though I haven't posted for the past few weeks. Just a few random comments:
I thought it was rather touching that Ozzie decided to go to the support group--carrying his goldfish in a plastic bag, no less!--after he moved out of the motel. It was as if he realized that they were the only people who could understand what he was going through.
Jonathan's a really unlikable character for me. I didn't like the way he tried to ingratiate himself with Richard and Gerry (with different degrees of success) and it's creepy the way he's been watching Ozzie since Ozzie was a kid. Is Ozzie "Special"?
At first, I thought the aliens had discovered that Gina was the one who had hit and killed Kurt Reptilian and had abducted her again to punish her for Kurt's death. Then I realized that she was kind of experiencing a flashback when she heard the Muzak playing in the Crockery Shed (ha!) where she works as an associate and remembered it as being the same music the aliens were playing in the ship when they were experimenting on her.
Even though Gina gave up being a therapist (after her patient took her advice and got killed in the process) she still has the urge to try and help people. She puts a lot of thought and effort into the support group but sometimes the activities seem to do more harm than good, especially when she urged everyone to tell their family members about their abductions. However, I liked that the members all ended up in the bar together at the end of the episode, keeping each other company and, as Ozzie had realized in the earlier episode, coming to the understanding that only the other members of the group could understand their respective experiences.
Speaking of family members, I thought it was strange that Chelsea's husband showed up all indignant at the meeting since, up to that point, he seemed so indifferent to her activities.
On 11/16/2016 at 0:13 PM, lordonia said:. . . I still miss Kurt!
I do too! The aliens have a better dynamic when they're interacting with each other. Jeff Gray and Kurt Reptilian were especially good together; now Jeff Gray seems really overburdened with Kurt gone. Even with the "Legolas Greenleaf" look he's got going, Don White is pretty bland and not that interesting. Hope that they find a way to resurrect Kurt.
One of the things that I enjoy is how un-apologetically low tech the sets and visual effects are in this show: the alien ship just looks like a box painted silver with plastic model parts glued onto it; the screens in the alien ship have all their displays in English; the interior of the alien ship is almost bare; even though Ozzie supposedly had brain surgery to remove the deer implant, his head wasn't even shaved. It's almost as if someone is trying to visualize a story that someone else told them, so most of the details are left out. Also, the sets kind of remind me of all those low-budget science fiction B movies from the 1950's and '60's.
Feel kind of sorry for Gerry that he so wants to be abducted and just hasn't been.
I think Father Doug should just go ahead and start playing his Latin Funk music again. Just because he's a priest doesn't mean he can't enjoy a harmless pastime like making music. It could take his mind off Chelsea.

If she isn't a reptilian, maybe her lawyer is. Could be that's why she quit the support group.
I'm trying to decide if the police officer (sheriff?) is an alien or just a collaborator. I liked the way Jerry(?) and the postal carrier lady figured out what exactly Gina(?) had hit on the road.
Ozzie's great! Love the way he's so open-minded about everything that's going on around him and everything that's happening to him.

Wait... They were ?!?!?
I didn't even notice this. The people clearing out the house before blowing it up were the same people found dead in the other house? clones, maybe?
Sorry--I didn't word my original comment correctly. What I should have said was that "the people found dead in the house and the people who blew up the house across the street all belonged to the Green Sneakers cult."
Who is that mysterious woman who keeps calling Taka? (Sorry--can't remember the names of the characters.) She seems to have some type of leadership role with the Green Sneakers; why did she think that it was Taka who made it possible for his mother to show up in the woods when they were scattering the ashes?
I thought that Tess was a little more sympathetic as a character in last night's episode, mostly because she seemed genuinely concerned about keeping Bill safe. (However, maybe Bill's lack of ability to dream lucidly is some kind of protection against the faceless men?) Seems strange that neither she nor Taka, when they first meet, would not say anything to each other about experiencing the same dream.
With Tess' mother being revealed as connected to Green Sneakers, it seems as if the whole Special Boy story is part of some huge, over-arching plan (almost like the Bene Gesserit and Paul Atreides in Dune). (Tess and Sabine must have had really strange childhoods.) Weird that Burton's company is the one auctioning The Boy off, almost as if he's a commodity. They must have abducted him and the Greens are trying desperately to get him back, I guess.
Burton continues having to deal with all kinds of bizarre situations. I kind of like that he quit; however, not sure that The Firm will allow him to leave.
I wish Taka would do more than wander around and/or stand around with a befuddled look on his face. And I still don't like that he's trying to build some kind of "relationship" with Sabine. The woman is twisted and proud of it.

S04.E01: Game
in Endeavour [V]
Was surprised by the return of this series so soon. Didn't think we'd get another season until next year.
I wouldn't be surprised if Strange colluded with whoever it was who diverted Morse's exams. Strange has been a smug, arrogant jerk ever since he passed his own exam and was able to trade in his uniform for detective civvies; he hasn't hesitated whenever the occasion arose to rub Morse's face into the fact that Strange now--technically--outranks Morse.
Agree with the Bright love. The character's really showing some development and fair-mindedness. Not to mention courage under pressure.
Sad about the Thursday/Morse friction. Needs to be resolved.
Trewlove's okay with me. I especially liked how she described and analyzed the chess gambit after that college professor was so condescending to her.
Was thrown a little bit by the Soviet chess master's conversation with Morse where he asked Morse to find his friend's killer. I thought it would turn out that the death would have some connection with the USSR, but the conversation seems to have been just a plot diversion. Anyone else think that the chess master's entourage were KGB agents?
