Next WotW picspam.
Two episodes; I'll do one per post. Reasonably slashy ones - about par for the course.
The Meek Shall Inherit. I like this one partly because it has Sylvia, who is a character I rather like. She came up in an ep before, but she has a bigger role in this one. She was involved in the first invasion (she's actually a character in the first movie, and IIRC, the same actress plays the role). She developed a sensitivity to aliens, and since they make her go nuts, she's in a mental hospital near Portland (it's called the Whitewood, and that irony is never gone into). Blackwood loves her like a dear relative, and it's all very sweet, except for the fits she has that keeps her in the hospital.
Anyhoo. The aliens have developed a way to disrupt communications. They try it out on a small scale, and it works well.
However, in order to go large-scale, they need to hijack a truckload of equipment. They take over the bodies of three homeless people in Portland. A friend of them, Molly, sees it, and runs shrieking to the same hospital where Sylvia resides (doing space puzzles). They take her in as a charity case, and Sylvia (who has green eyes, Kat) befriends her.
Meanwhile, Ironhorse is putting together a squad. I think he calls it Omega Squad, but I call it Wanker Squad. It's just as disruptive to the four-person thang that makes this show fun as McCullough's daughter is. But the testing-out bit is rather fun to watch, as I believe someone wants to show off how light on his feet he is.
Meanwhile, Norton can't figure out what's up with the phone sabotage, and Blackwood is looking at things.
Ironhorse has no time for Blackwood, as he is irritated at McCullough. For some reason, she has the job of assembling Wanker Squad, and he's not happy with them.
This one is begging to be iconed, for some reason.
Back to the homeless hijackers. They are chased off of the truck lot by security, and decide to come back at night when they can sneak up on the fellow.
Since communications are back and nobody has claimed responsibility, Norton is thinking aliens. Blackwood is thinking about coffee in a duck-shaped cup.
Sylvia has a fit, as the aliens are near. The hospital staff put her in a straitjacket. Molly feels sorry for her and rescues her. Sylvia is adamant that they find Blackwood.
Meanwhile, Ironhorse is interviewing more people and gets flipped over his desk. I giggled and had to make an animated gif.
Sylvia thinks that being outside of the hospital is Really Cool. They head for the truck stop, as it's the best place in town for the homeless to get food handouts.
Blackwood is told that Sylvia ran off, and has kittens.
He and McCullough go to Portland. They talk to policemen, priests, and kids before finding their answer (check the truck stop) from a hooker.
Back at the HQ, coffee is exchanged, and Norton tells Ironhorse that he's tracked alien transmissions from Portland. Ironhorse says, "Portland is becoming quite a popular city." Oh, their tourist board wishes.
Sylvia feels aliens nearby, and warns Molly about wandering out of their semi-trailer shelter. Molly, of course, ventures out, and of course, is taken over by one of the aliens, as all three have killed the guard. Now the aliens know about Blackwood, as Sylvia told Molly all about him. She wants to kill Sylvia, but the other two tell her that the hijacking is more important.
Blackwood finds Sylvia, and it's all very sweet.
Then Blackwood finds out that there are aliens in the truck stop, and he's not sure what to do, as he usually leaves the alien-killing up to Ironhorse. But when he sees a homeless man stumbling towards the aliens, he Takes Action.
As soon as he gets his arms around the guy, he realizes it's Ironhorse, and they tumble about in the snow like good platonic buddies do.
Once the fun is over, they realize that they have to do something about the aliens. Wanker Squad moves in.
They kill one of the aliens. Ironhorse chases the second, who is run over by three axles of semi truck, which is a nifty sight.
The last alien, the Molly-alien, says:
but is shot down. The end.
