Last night's was the worst - the whole concept of sending the kids off makes absolutely no sense. Who would even consider that idea for 10 seconds? And why? If you need to stay there to wait for the other company, leave TWO PEOPLE! All they have to do is stay there and wait for the others to tell them where to go. Send EVERYONE else ahead to avoid the fight. My favorite part was when they said the small children could stay, because the skitters didn't want them...oh yea, let's leave them with us where the skitters are most likely to show up, because they won't take them hostage - they'll just kill them.
And what happened with the blonde chick? Let's see - they capture a skitter alive, and the skitters take one of theirs (the blonde) in retribution. They send back the Noah's son to tell them they have her - and then nothing ever happens with that story line. They don't try to rescue her, they don't try to save her, they don't even actually try to find out why it's so critical to the skitters that they don't have a live one in their possession (perhaps there's something it could tell them?). Even when the captive skitter goes out of it's way to die (if you were being held captive, would you kill your guard with no hope of escape? Unless of course you wanted to get killed yourself...) nobody mentions it. It's like the writers start down a path, and then change their mind, simply ignoring what's already happened. I think there was a point to the doctor's death, or at least there was originally. He saw something with the flashlight or figured something out that required the skitter to kill him if he could, problem is - will the writers ever get back to telling us, or just drop it entirely?
