This Friday on “Dark Skies” ep 13: “The Warren Omission'

Wow, you're very attentive. I was just going to post the entry for this week's episode but you beat me it. I'd better shape up next time. Thanks. Anyway, just as a suggestion, the summaries I have been finding for Dark Skies are just too detailed, so I've been editing them not to give away too much information, otherwise they tell a bit too much.

Well alright. Finally an episode I liked. To me it's the best episode of the show so far.

We get to see 7 of 9 and man she seems spring loaded in the pissed off position.
She kicks our boy loengard in the balls and then steals his towel.

Then we move on to the Warren commision. The writers have put all people into play, earl warren, Gerald Ford, Stormin Norman, Marylin Monroe, J edgar and clyde the whole shabang.

Bach was at his best when dealing with the commision and easily dismissed all barbs thrown his way. The man never broke a sweat.

Bobby K grows a set and attacks MJ12 and just when you think he is going to win the jackpot....Bam, his own indiscretions get in the way. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, John should have looked at Kennedy and said....I wish you would have told me about that Marilyn Monroe thing before we did this.

All in all the best one yet, I'll give this one 9 stolen bath towels on the DS scale.

Well, that was definitely something. It was a good, but irregular episode. No more touchy-feely stories about characters we don't know or don't care (except 7 of 9's "touchy feely" connection with Loengard minus a conveniently misplaced towel - and she has experience dealing with the Borg collective, so the Hive collective should be a piece of cake).

Anyway, this time the main players were characters whose development we've been following, so their stories sounded much more real. Ironically, Loengard's best scene yet was in Bach's bogus story about how they had met "at gun point." I want more of crazy/hobo/schizo Loengard! It's a pity that won't happen again and that it lasted so little.

This was all a great turning point, I presume. Bach comes out victorious, and Loengard, discredit. And they are going to unseal his records only in 1999... Wait, that has happened already! Oh, well, in that universe probably by 1999 the Hive would probably be all over the place and there would be nothing new in his statements. Also Kennedy is through, and so is his "special" relationship with Loengard and Sayers. And with the introduction of Juliet Stewart, who is here to stay, by the way, it seems that the show is bound to take a whole new direction.

The show has always been about conspiracies and cover-ups in its core, so that's where it works at its best. As charmed pointed out before me, Bach didn't break a sweat during his testimony, and he made it all seem so plausible. It's interesting how he mixed truths, half-truths and total fabrications to concoct his version of the truth. And where his lies didn't work, there's always blackmail.

But that didn't mean the episode didn't have its share of problems. The dreaded clip show is the first that comes to mind. There used to be a time when TV shows always had a clip-show episode, and all those scenes from old episodes with Loengard laboriously retelling everything that we already knew was tiresome. that was obviously made for the sake of new viewers the showrunners were hoping to catch in the middle of the season right before the show's revamp.

Bach's motivations are also murky. OK, I get that knowledge is power and the only way for majestic to remain relevant is if only they know the truth, otherwise why would they even exist? But at least he should pay lip service to some greater, nobler cause, like, "if regular people know the truth, panic will destroy our society. The world as we know it will end!" Something. Instead, there's just a big conspiracy because, well, that's what secret government organizations do.

Besides, even if Bach is so vain and his better days are past him (honestly, he hasn't looked a day older since 1947...) what would justify the actions of patriots like Schwarzkopf? Mixing real and fictional characters is a tricky thing. I wonder what the Kennedys think when they see members of their family exposed like the on TV for the sake of entertainment. And why is it that people on Tv always choose to have embarrassing and illicit sexual encounters right in front of windows facing outside?

The raid on the Majestic headquarters seemed, well, like a raid on a TV set, since they found nothing, zero, zilch there. And are you going to convince me it was all Kim's idea for Kennedy use his powers as Attorney General and gather an FBI task force to raid on a government facility, just because she had a hunch? is she going to make national strategic decisions now? At least she warned Kennedy; "it's going to be dangerous."

Anyway, this time we pay a tribute to the power of the blondes. Marilyn, and her sexual escapades and irresistible charm that caught both Kennedy brothers as poor womanizing victims they were, of course. (By the way, wasn't Ted old enough at that time to have a piece of the action too?) And Juliet for her kick-ass moves that put a wimpy Loengard in his place.

This episode gets 8 badass blonde vixens!

This Friday on “Dark Skies” ep 13: “The Warren Omission'

Not sure what day this is having a few days off this Memorial Day weekend. One more night to stay up late and check out late night TV. This episode was a mid season refresher of what has happened so far. I must admit I had forgotten almost everything.

Stone are you taking over I was surprised to see your name? Or is it just a conspiracy.

The Warren Omission was O.K. as always I love the name dropping MM was a nice touch more or less brought Bobby to his knees. Women can do that, they have all the power. So Hover was gay is that true didn’t know that. No one has John and Kim’s back their on their own now. But they got a better car with an envelope of money. Kim didn't hesitate to keep the money.

If the rest of them are at least as good as this one I can make it through.
