Can't agree with you at all. The last two shows might have been the two best of the season. Nice cliff hanger at the end of it too.
First episode of the finale--so they think the guy is using pills, for some reason he waits until they're about to start a mutiny before he tells them he wasn't on them (although he probably was lying as it seems later).
Then there's the random new guy, somehow he's important, and we've never seen him before. They kind of introduce him, but his character doesn't matter at all which makes it puzzling as to why they even cared to add the character. Not to mention, after they lock up Tom he's set as the guard for some reason. And that when Tom went to confront Weaver about the drugs it looked like they were setting up battle plans with that stupid kid with the gun.
Which brings to another thing----seriously, what's up with that ******* kid with the gun? He has been completely useless, why do they think that he's a good fighter?
The idea that the alien communications can be disrupted with a crappy radio is unlikely. And how come the mechs have the ability to retreat when the signal blocks the communications but somehow they wouldn't be able to point their guns and shoot?
Then--what was the point of going in to attack when it was very obvious that it wouldn't work? Also, very unlikely that he would have been able to hit that alien ship with the RPG, and I'm not really sure why that happened anyways (like what was the purpose) it was kind of just random and "oh what the hell" type thing
And the cliffhangar ending was just very very cheap, not imaginative at all, of all the things that they could have done, they chose the easiest so that they could act like they were taking risks with the show.
