Think the big one for me is the whole conversation between Bill and Isla. This whole time we (viewers) have major questions about their origin, who they are, etc. And yet, Bill has a real 'alien' in front of him, who can speak English, and it's not even a thought. It's all personal human drama things, nothing to do with the big picture. Maybe it would have pushed the plot too soon.
shareThere was a big one in the latest episode. The scientist lady is deep in study trying to figure out a way to beat the aliens. Her noodge of a sister is bugging her to watch a video left behind by a dead guy. She refuses to watch it, and her sister lectures her that she never tries to connect with other people. In the middle of an alien invasion, it was a big WTF moment.
shareYeah, a lot of those. I'm always amazed when the "aliens" express outrage when an earthling kills one of theirs, even after they've killed billions. I can't believe, if the tables were turned, a human would be that clueless. I'm reminded of how the Cylons were pissed off at being given a slow, painful death (even though death wasn't permanent for them) in Battlestar Gallactica after they killed billions of humans in a nuclear attack.
