Episode 9 of Invasion is just fucking dreadful. Again. For a world apparently in the middle of a massive alien invasion that’s taken out most of London there’s a lot of sitting around having a fucking chin-wag like nothing fucking much is happening. I don’t give two shits about these characters; I don’t care for the actors, who aren’t doing a good job; I don’t care what is happening and the only reason I’m watching it is so I can moan about how shit it is.
The lad on the MRI scan didn’t even have his head stabilised on the machine. Then his head was wobbling around like no one’s business which would have fucked the results. Who puts someone in an MRI scan with a tiny tiny pillow? And the army truck taken out by shooting a tyre? Fuck off. A fucking tyre. No, that’s not how that works. It wouldn’t flip a truck on its side. And who gives a shit about that Asian bloke? The biggest scumbag gets a PG rated death off screen. Yawn.
Mind you, you get a good look at the aliens finally. And they are…unimpressive.
I sort of didn't mind it, though good grief, the whining kids in the woods. Yes, it's all very serious. Get on with it.
ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
I think I was just glad that it was coming to some kind of end. Though the means of it was pretty crap, though I suppose it was always going to be - fingers crossed it is an end, rather than a precursor to more. I would have liked to see your reaction when the aliens just fell over.
It feels like they've got very excited about telling 'the human side', decided they'd really focus on that as if it were something new, missing the fact that that is how pretty much every war story is told.
