[Impossible Girl]

thanks. I wish I could see the episode.

[Sulieter]

So do I!

[Chris]

Can you watch online? Bravo streams the episodes here.

I thought the second episode was better, but it's not grabbing me as something I have to add to my must watch list.

It doesn't work in my region either. Thanks though, Chris.

I have seen this episode!

A lot more characters came into the show this week. It was interesting to see the relationships developing between certain characters.

I love the Will/Beau relationship. I trust Beau.

I don't trust Broussard. I don't think he is sympathetic to Katie and he will probably hurt her if she doesn't do as he tells her.

There were a few light hearted moments in this episode which I liked. I love the drones, they are supposed to be scary but I think they're cute. It's like watching Star Wars.

Phyllis is an interesting character.

It's great to see Paul Guilfoyle playing Quayle. I loved him in CSI and he is great here.

I'm worried about Katie giving information about Will to Broussard. I hope she keeps some information back just in case Will gets hurt because of the information she is passing on.

It's nice to see more of the children.

Will has a vulnerable aura about him. He is the sort of person to feel very guilty about anything he does that would hurt people.

There was a great tender scene between Will and Katie which involved Will crying (Josh crying in a show is my favourite thing.)

It was very sad when all of the captured people were killed.

Will has found out that someone is leaking information.

I can't wait to find out what happens next! I'm enjoying the show very much.

I love this bit.

A good review of episode two.

In episode 2 "Brave New World", Will meets his new boss at Homeland Security (ie the Occupation). Phyllis appears to be running the place. Will and Beau (his new partner) are sent in search of the guy who built last week's bomb. Will's real goal is to find the Resistance leader Geronimo so he can get his son Charlie back. Meanwhile Katie has been given permission by the government to open the Yonk (her old bar) again. This gives her a better cover for her work with the Resistance. Across town, Katie's sister Maddie is working a big party in the Green Zone (which is not suffering like the people on Maddie's side of town). Maddie reconnects with a guy she knew pre Arrival. He's third in charge at the water company. Will the two become an item? I'm going with "yes" but initially Maddie blows him off. Will apprehends the bomber after a heated chase. Upon returning to the police station, he finds Carlos locked up (for helping Will escape with the fuel cells). Carlos' family (Lucia and Mateo) arrive on the Bowman's doorstep. Will and Katie help them escape to what looks like a homeless camp (so the Red Hats cant interrogate them). Carlos is carted off to the Factory. He and several others are forced to strip naked in order to be decontaminated. That was a very powerful and frightening scene (reminiscent of the Nazi gas chambers). So did Carlos and the other prisoners have their memories wiped? Are they dead? Are they off to a labor camp? Are they about to become alien hamburgers? I'm not really sure. When a group are shot before Will can interrogate them, he learns there's a leak. Any ?guesses on how long it takes him to figure out it's his own wife? Random Thoughts: An alien invasion would definitely cure America's obesity problem. Everyone is forced to walk (or ride bikes) and all the good stuff (including Pepsi) is rationed. Government workers apparently get black shiny new Cadillacs to drive. Way to blend in. Oh, and dont loose that employee badge. It's going to come in handy later. Those drones sure are noisy. What's with the red and black banners all over the place? I know they're for the Occupation but why did they pick that symbol? I'm hoping the aliens arent a bunch of big birds. Per Phyllis, every defense mechanism in LA was wiped out in eight hours during the Arrival. It sounds like New York was also destroyed. That doesnt give me much faith the Rebels can have a significant impact. She also says the aliens had most of the special forces/FBI/police officers killed during the invasion. Will is one of the few remaining. Payphones have made a comeback thanks to the occupation. Grade: 4 Monsters (out of 5). A good start to what I hope is a great series. I cant wait to see how the conflict between the Bowmans pans out. They both are trying to accomplish the same thing (find their son) but are going about it in opposite directions. Also, the scene with Carlos et al being decontaminated was very powerful.

The ratings for this episode is down a bit from the pilot episode. I hope the ratings pick up for the third episode.

Thanks.

I have seen this episode on Sky 1. I have realised that the captured people weren't necessarily killed like I thought they were when I watched it online. They were sort of beamed.
