Well this episode is just a continuation of the previous ones where we follow our sleuthing soldier, ragtag brigade of refugees and kids on their rather hapless and meandering journeys. What is so annoying is the insulting way everything is drip fed and padded with this second series of invasion. Not just that, but there are moments when the acting is so bad that it makes you wonder if the Director was actually watching when it was filmed and edited.
And for those of you who think you recognise the Parisien gallery marketplace it's probably because it's the same place used for Diagon Alley in Harry Potter and that's the Leadenhall market in London. Why they thought this was a good choice or that it in any way represented the architecture of Paris, I don't know. It is just another example of the mediocrity that the creators of this show think will pass as acceptable. You'd be hard pressed to find a red bricked building in Paris and this scene ruined it as it was clearly London.
Besides that big faux pas, there are others which annoy, particularly the script mechanism of now having two young lads able to sense the aliens mentally (plus the Japanese woman) and know exactly what to do, together with the endless quest of the kids and their insipid psychoanalysis of their situation and reasoning out why they should do every stupid thing no matter what. It's really dreadful and very badly written.
So drawn out as mentioned that we get practically nothing but filler and the big reveal this episode was that they're all on a course to intercept at ground zero where Sam Neil was poked by a tenticle in series 1. I pointed this out a few episodes ago, but they are so out of tune with audience intuition that it's taken another two episodes of laborious filler to tell us what we knew would happen weeks ago.
Given the few episodes left in this series, there's a high probability we'll be left with another annoying cliffhanger and that'll be it for me as I won't stomach the same drip feed of nothingness for a third season if it's even made.
