Falling Skies: Mmm, Frothy Invasions

[PyrosNine]

I kinda watched it as if it were a series about X-Com or UFO, just like I watch Burn Notice as if it's GTA in TV format, and that lets me roll my eyes when something ridiculous happens.

Of course, I get upset sometimes when characters on TV don't behave like you'd expect after playing so many darn video games (the evil aliens with death rays aren't that scary, you could totally take 'em!) but fortunately the X-Com mindset allows me to accept the Human's inadequacies in the alien killing department.

With that in mind, I am also expecting them to fire a rocket launcher at an Alien, miss, and then blow up another squad that happened to have been trying to flank it. We've already had aliens shooting insta-death rays from just slightly out of sight with unfailing accuracy already, so why not?

AS for kids whining about birthdays, when you might die any time soon, a birthday becomes a mother's chestbursting big deal, as in you survived long enough to last another year. And it's worth celebrating.

He's only a little brat if he then whines about how they didn't get him an Xbox or even give him that one can of tuna.
