Tom, Weaver and Matt are heading to meet their friends but they do not have any food. Out of the blue, they stumble upon the brothers Nick Phillips and Cooper Marshall that offers them food. Tom discloses to Weaver that he suspects the guys and on the next morning, Cooper shoots at Weaver and Matt in the sleeping bags and capture Tom to trade him with the Espheni. Meanwhile, the Alexia's Espheni is restrained by Anne and Anthony. Meanwhile, Dr, Kadar checks Alexia's condition and soon Annie learns that the Espheni is Alexias' father.

"Mind Wars" is an episode of "Falling Skies" basically divided in two segments: Tom' segment is exciting but the Alexia's one is annoying, as usual. My vote is seven

Title (Brazil): "Mind Wars"

TWD... Anyone?

This was a different episode. Apart from the break and non-concluded continuation of the previous episode that's getting more common, we get some little side stories that remembers me The Walking Dead. While wandering around the heroes find some mysteriously friendly brothers who really really want to help them. There's some sort of social commentary that I believe is more for please the audience than criticize anything at a high level. It's a nice episode but again, like in TWD, you'll probably get angry at the son of our hero. A boy that's is growing up and can't deal with everything around him, while trying to write his own path. I just don't get what's the deal with the suspense. The final scene is extremely obvious and there's no mystery at all. There were many clues from the previous episodes, entire scenes dedicated how the magical girl was born etc... Maybe they just want the viewers to think something like "Hey, wait, I know what's going on, what's about to happen! Wait..." and feel glad when the final revelation comes at the last 30 seconds of the episode.
