Young Bloods - Falling Skies Season 2 Episode 4

*This review contains spoilers.*

Once again, my review of TNT's Falling Skies. If I seem less excited, it's because I recently bought all the seasons of the BBC's Merlin on DVD this past weekend, and I'm a bit obsessed with that. Nevertheless, here we go!


  • I have no predictions, except to say I hope we keep up with Pope and Anthony, and I want the tensions between Ben, Hal and Tom to come to a head. 
  • If anything happens to Matt, I'm going to be so upset. Who let him out on his own anyway? Oh, God, I sense these two becoming a real problem in the end. 
  • Those assholes! How dare they! 
  • I absolutely love that Robert E. Lee's quote "It is well that war is so terrible..." is on the wall by where they're camped out. That is so fitting. Props to TNT for that. 
  • ...Oh, my God, the scene that ensues when Tom brings Anne the chocolate cake thing is the most darling, precious, adorable, perfect, magnificent scene in the entire world. You need to watch this! Aw! Squee! Squee! 
  • Wow, a whole new band of people this is an interesting development. Yeah, Hal, you get those bikes back! I don't know if he should trust these people...they look suspicious. 
  • Wow, Tom, way to be a dick. 
  • Oh, my God! Aw! Captain Weaver and Jeanie is the most adorable thing ever! Aw! Yes, I'm so glad you brought them back, Hal! 
  • Okay, Diego is okay, since he saw the whole Maggie/Hal thing a mile away. 
  • Diego and Jeanie? I'm down with that. Oh, dear, are they setting up a Diego/Lourdes/Jameel love triangle?  
  • Oh, Hal is so cute! He is absolutely my crush from this show!
  • Uh-oh, what happened? Nothing bad better happen, we just had all those cute couple-y moments for everybody, and now this? Not good! 
  • Whoa, whoa, Diego and Captain Weaver need to back down. Oh, Matt...I don't even know whether or not I want you to go. I am liking his arc this episode. 
  • I kind of like this Tector guy. I don't know where he came from (apart from Pope's gang, I mean), but he seems like a decent guy. 
  • Oh, dear God! No! NO! This is not happening! Oh, ew, this is horrible. Not Jeanie and not Matt, please! Oh, thank God!
  • Oh, Ben, what are you doing! Dumbass move! Weaver better be okay...oh, this is so tense, I can't handle this!  
  • Aw, this is sweet, but wait, Diego/Jeanie was a perfect couple...oh, no. :-(
  • Come on, Ben...he's your brother. 
  • Lourdes/Jameel is moving along nicely. 
  • Jeanie, what are you doing?! Are you running away with Diego? I loved Diego/Jeanie, but don't leave Weaver like this. Oh, Jeanie, what are you doing! This is probably the first time I ever advocated NOT sneaking away with your lover...
  • Aw, Matt and Tom are just so adorable. 
  • This last scene with the guitar and all these different people is so perfect, and the pan up to the sky, that is so classy! I loved that!
Okay, that was a really great episode. Lourdes/Jameel,  Anne/Tom and even Hal/Maggie are really becoming perfect, but Jeanie/Diego...I don't know what I think...she should have convinced them to stay, that would have been a happier ending for this episode. 

Anyway, I love this show and this was an especially great episode, both from romance and action, so if you haven't seen it, I suggest you do, and if you don't watch Falling Skies then you should definitely start!

Thanks for reading!
