Yeeeeeah I have to agree. If that was my project I wouldn't have done it quite like that. There were a lot of ways they could've got us intrigued and hooked us on watching without shooting their load on revealing that the visitors are hostile within the first hour.

I'm keeping in mind that pretty much every show's pilot episode is awkward, but thus far...as silly as it sounds, I prefer the original.

I do look forward to the next episode though, the preview made it look interesting enough.

So far, I also prefer the original, but feel this was still good and has a ton of potential.

I wonder if they were so quick with the reveals because they were assuming the audience in large knows the big swerve - that the visitors are reptilian and are after are water and us for food. Maybe they wanted to get it out of the way so they could concentrate on driving the story forward in other ways. Like I and others have said earlier, a two hour pilot would've been more appropriate.

I really didn't mind the ramping up of the revel of what the visitors are possibly up to, we the viewers are already well aware of that, it would have just been treading old ground if they put it off for 2 or 3 episodes.

Keep in mind also that 99% of the World still believes and trusts in them, only that small cell wants to fight so far.

Nice followup with episode 2. One thing I'm looking forward to the is Anna going into full on Diana mode as we get to know her better. Sexy, alluring, evil, doing nasty things. The Diana of the miniseries that is, not the neutered perpetual loser of the series.

Loves the snakes on the chest bit, I'd sure tell them everything.

Poor Tyler. Lisa went right for the groin and he's totally hooked.

As am I, great job so far.
