The Price of Greatness - Falling Skies Season 2 Episode 9

*This review contains spoilers.*

You, me, TNT's Falling Skies, as I watch it.

  • Predictions: I expect something to be wrong in Charleston, and really, really hope for a resolution between Hal and Maggie of some kind. Also, more Anne and Tom. And maybe some Pope on the side, because no matter how much I detest his character at times, there are others I absolutely adore him. 
  • Here we go! Oh, wow, look at all those people! This is a nice scene! 
  • Oh, whoa, JEAN! What a turn of events! I like this development a lot. 
  • Arthur Manchester, owner of a cool shirt, apparent mentor of Tom, and hopefully another badass historian. 
  • And Tector is not Tector's real name apparently...I love revelations like that. Good job Falling Skies
  • Ah-ha! This General guy is bad news! I knew there had to be a catch! Hmmm...he seems to resent Manchester, who I feel like I side with. 
  • Uh-oh...this is bad...this is so bad...separate the 2nd Mass?! No! Oh, dear...they're splitting you up and taking your guns so you can't rebel against them when they do something evil, don't you see? Okay, maybe that's just my wild prediction, but I would so try not to go along with this. 
  • And a cute Anne/Tom domestic scene! YES! :) 
  • I love this Arthur Manchester guy...that would be me, "Let's be the George Washington of a new world!" and being all like "a new democracy" and such. Though, I'm really not a fan of the way he's treating Tom right now. 
  • Aw, a Jean and Weaver moment! Yes, where is Diego, I liked him...Oh, man...poor Diego! Whoa, and even more political dissension. Oh, this is getting so good! Political intrigue! YES!!!!! I LOVE this show! Cute daddy/daughter moment for those two. 
  • Whoa, this heart specialist is an asshole...and Dr. Anne Glass, in addition to being a haver of beautiful hair, you are also a total badass. 
  • Wow, I feel like Jean just let on to a serious something going on with these Charleston people. So, dissension equals punishment, but is there an overarching plot? Why would the 2nd Mass get special treatment? Because of the vote? I don't know, I don't know! This is such a good show!
  • Whoa, Tector, you traitor! Pope, you tell that bastard! 
  • Maggie, what are you doing? Ooooh, intriguing! 
  • I agree with Matt, I wish they had never come to Charleston! 
  • Whoa, whoa, whoa, the Berserkers are stealing and then Maggie and oh my freaking God Tector shot Lyle! What the hell is the matter with you, Tector?! You bastard! 
  • Oh, wow, I'm starting to think I misjudged Manchester...
  • Oh, come on Maggie, Hal said he was sorry! I ship Hal/Maggie the most for this fandom, I believe. 
  • Ah, yes, the infamous meeting! Oh, Jean, you are getting yourself in trouble! Be careful! Oh, shit, Tom, what are you doing! You are supposed to be supporting Manchester, you're going to get yourself in trouble! Oh, man, be careful! 
  • Oh, come on, Manchester, I seriously misjudged you...
  • ....And Pope and Manchester are having dinner? Odd. Oh, man, Pope don't squeal! ...Oh, wow, that was one kickass refusal, done so hilariously that I can't help but love him. 
  • Oh, wow, Hal, what a rebel you are! Oh, my goodness, this is the sweetest speech from Hal ever....come on, Maggie! Yes!!! :) :) I love this show! 
  • Oh, this is so good! It's golden....oh, no...with Tector, too, goddammit! State of emergency? Oh, Manchester, you bastard! General, I can't believe you! Ah, yes, Tector! Welcome back! 
  • Oh, this is terrifying...Manchester is such a psycho dictator!
  • Whoa, whoa...martial law? I'm not sure a coup was the proper solution...whoa, whoa, whoa...thank you Pope for the commentary. 
Okay, wow, can I just say this was a very packed episode. We went from all is well in Charleston, to a sneaking suspicion of something simply wrong beneath the surface, to their "democratic" leader being a tyrant  and finally to a military coup! What an episode! It was indescribably awesome and I highly suggest you check it out! 

Thanks for reading!
