Ooh... I've been stalking, but I could resist no longer!
Best scene(s): Seriously? The show gets better and better with each episode. It's not perfect (as others have pointed out, what with the "it's impossible! Allakazam! Done!), but it's still made of 100% all natural badassery. With each episode I find myself drawn more and more into it, more excited to see Monday. It's absolutely ridiculous. But, honestly, any scene with Miles/Charlie in it makes me happy. I particularly loved when he readily agreed to rescue Peter (I felt my proverbial head whip around). It was a very pleasant surprise. I also loved when Charlie convinced Miles with her scheme and him looking out at the boat... and when he realized she's been branded... *sighs* I love those two!!!
Worst moment(s): Pfft, I know not what you speak of.
Favourite quote(s): Miles', "I will beat you unconscious." followed by Aaron's "Hairless Ewoks"
Your Revelation of the Week: This episode seemed to slap-us-in-the-face-with-a-fish that there... is a disturbance in the

The award for Best character development of the ep goes to: Charlie: She's still lovable good and kind hearted Charlie, but she's also Warrior!Charlie. She's becoming quite the leader. Her eyes are no longer 'La vie en rose', as it were, but she isn't angst-emo-jaded either. She's becoming competent, tough, a true fighter, but she still has her core. I was worried that they'd change Charlie into some PTSD-ish hard-ass after the last episode, but they didn't. YAY! Rachel: I didn't know what to think of her at first, but this episode really shined the light on her. She started off a strong and morally led woman, but years post-blackout and she's become a sort of defeatist, selfish and willfully ignorant. But along that, she really didn't want to hurt anyone. Her conflict with her former self and her current self is interesting. I detest her on one hand, yet I feel for her on the other. Miles:"Dickishness" aside, you do have a heart tin-man! Aaron: And you, oh cowardly lion! Hear you roar!
Coz that's it exactly. (Wizard of Oz crossed with Star Wars crossed with Alice in Wonderland)
They're off to see the wizard, who's in Philly and he's a fraud (I feel like while probably a little crazy Bass is also putting on a front that will crumble when he sees Miles again):
Charlie to find a way home (aka Danny and Rachel), Miles to get a heart (aka face his past), Aaron to learn courage (aka solve the energy crisis mystery and save the world) and Nora...to get a brain? That's not right. *laughs* it's coz I don't really understand why she's going at all!
Whatever she owes Miles for it must be pretty huge to venture to Philly to face Monroe at Milita HQ.

THIS. It's like you scooped out my thoughts.
I don't think I've ever watched a show that's made so much progress and opened up so many storyline possibilities (and made me love everyone...except Nora, Danny and Nate, but shush...I'll like them eventually) within so few episodes. This is like the strides you make character development and plot wise in the space of a whole season (for some shows, anyway) - usually there's alot of two steps forward, three steps back BS, and filler episodes, and scenes that are wholly unnecessary - that this is all you'd get to in the space of 13-20ish episodes

Firstly, the episode was amazing. Keeping that in mind, I've tried to limit my responses ha.
Best scene(s): (1) When Aaron "stood up" to Miles at the end. I saw this less as Aaron's continued action-type badassery as seen in 1x06 and more as Aaron trying to see what Nora acknowledged to him earlier, about Miles seeing all these events as falling under his responsibility. I think Aaron saw the humanity of Miles in that episode, especially when tacked on from what Aaron had seen in Miles in 1x06. Aaron finally has noticed in this episode that Miles isn't helping Charlie just to help Charlie his niece; he is helping people to try to repair the damage he has made. Aaron extrapolated that and applied it to himself: He guessed Miles wouldn't beat the shit out of him. I am so on this Miles/Aaron bro train

The boat didn't seem so impossible to get in and out of... I mean, when your characters are talking about how impossible it is to pull something off, at least make it seem really complex or difficult. I would've preferred Miles taking out 12 or 15 guys plus a Boss all at once again than the three of them taking out 6 or 7 guys plus a Boss, after only having to pretty much hop the railing and run about the boat a bit (or so we see)...
I'm totally with you here. They didn't even really look like they were trying all that hard. It's a boat full of militia people who are meant to be brainwashing training all the new little militia clones soldiers, so you'd think they'd be pretty damn impressive soldiers. But, no. We get a few and then they kill the leader. Rather anti-climatic for an impossible to breach ship. It's hardly Davey Jones.
Every single look on Miles' precious face.YES OMG YES. I love him and his face. His facial expressions are brilliant. Even when he's being all non-emotive guy he's totally being emotive because his face
