Falling Skies: Season 2
Hey Guys,
i know that i didn’t write about season one of Falling Skies. This is not because i didn’t like her. It is because it is a while when i watched it. So when i rewatch it someday i will write about it. I bought it a while a go, but i didn’t watched. Of course i saw it already but it is always a little while ago.
Hal and Ben
The both has a complicated relationship. Before all that the where the brother that fighting with each others alot. But now the just don’t find a way to each other. They are fighting and they don’t understand what each other drive. They both just want the family safe. Both are struggling with the new life. Hal things as the oldest he has to keep everyone of the family safe, he has to protect them. Ben is fighting with changing of is body and mind and trying to find is own way.
After Ben left them, Hal has much time to think and i think that this is something that is a restart for the relationship.
Can we trust Tom Mason
At the end of the season 2 he get in the ufo and he didn’t really know what they maybe did to him. He didn’t trust himself. But Weaver wants to trust Tom and wants him back in the old position. For Tom it is not so simple. He wants that Hal shoots him when he is a danger for the others. Matt doesn’t reacted pretty well to it, but it also make Tom see a whole new side of Ben, what disturb him. Because Ben is just hating them and Tom wants him to change to make love the thing that let him survive.
Ben and Jimmy
Ben has found a friend in Jimmy and this is a good think. That is what he needs. I think not just Jimmy is important for him and his developement. Also the trust that Weaver puts in him is good of his self-esteem. Jimmys death is breaking something in him. Also it makes the the relationship between Hal and Ben more compliated. Ben thinks that they think that it is his fault that Jimmy died. The real problem is that he thinks it himself.
Bens situation
Ben was always different from the others, but after Jimmys death. Something changed he stoped hating the Skitters. He has contact with one of them. They tell him that they are always fighting against the overlords and they want a aliance. When Karen comes back the position of Ben is getting worse. Because he nows that there is something wrong with her. Ben don’t want them to talk to her. He knows that he is manipulating him. But this takes the problems with Hal on a new level. The real sad thing is that he trust Karen more than is own brother. That made us see how broken the relationship between them allready is. It needs Maggie to see through all of it. Even Ben falls for her, maybe because he wants someone which is like him. Someone that understands him. So he is not alone anymore. So is it ironic that he choose this way to go? That he choose to leave his family? I don’t thinks so. I think he understands something, about family, about fighting and sacrifices. He choose to go his own way.
Lourdes
She was always a shining person. Lovely, full hope and believing in god in the good things. She always saw the good side and never stopped believing and hoping. But this season we see her break and it breaks my heart. She found someone Jamil, someone she saw a future with and she lost him. This is the lost that breaks her down, she stoped believing, stoped hopeing. She just do what is nesassary.
Save haven
A flight is coming to tell them that there is a new parlament. So they take the chance and going to there. On the way they have to fight many problems. For the life of Weaver. I love the journal that Weaver is doing and the relationship between him and the Masons. But like you already know when you read this is that i care most about the Mason, mostly Ben.
But the safe haven isn’t like they thought. This parlament doesn’t want to fight anymore. The second mass had to give the weapons away and the kids don’t believe in the second mass. So Matt has big problems with them.
The second mass has a big advantage. They trust each other and they know what they want. They want to fight, they want to do it together and they will do anything. Nobody feels like this is his safe haven.
The last fight
The second mass – the task force of them – is going on the suicide mission. This is not surprising, this is what they always do. We saw this before when Ben was meeting with them. That the second mass knows so much more about the aliens as that new town. In that fight they lose so much Skitters that are on their side and Dye. Dye was such an great person, someone you always count on. This is a really big loss for the group. The Aliens did something with Hal and that will be in the third season. Also what the new aliens are that we see in the end. Also we know that Weaver and Mason decided that the second mass will leave this new town.
Now i want to watch the third season… mann…
