Invasion Season 2 Episode 3 Review: Fireworks

Finally! Humanity made a little bit headway!

Thanks to some out-of-the-box pondering by Mitsuki, the folks of Earth have been in a position to strike again in opposition to the alien invaders on Invasion Season 2 Episode 3.

It solely took a season and a 3rd to get so far.

Of course, it was Mitsuki who got here up with a breakthrough thought.

She’s been essentially the most centered of the characters that the sequence is centered upon.

Mitsuki has been pushed by guilt due to her inadvertent function within the loss of life of her astronaut lover, Hirata.

As a end result, she’s been laser-focused in her research of the alien presence on the downed ship.

As the feminine analyst famous, Mitsuki has made the most progress of any of the scientists who’ve gotten up shut and private with the alien.

Maybe Mitsuki’s being on the sting of instability has additionally protected her from the psychological breakdowns that these different scientists had suffered.

Still, Maya Castillo was right to fret about Mitsuki’s psychological well being. She had seen different equally assured scientists find yourself shedding their minds.

Maya additionally acquired her to research her motivation for her drive to know the aliens higher. Sure, Mitsuki felt responsible. But she additionally thought {that a} little bit of payback could be the treatment for what ails her.

Her suspicious thoughts has enabled her to make intuitive leaps, which the opposite, extra well-known scientists did not do.

An instance was her determining that the sign the alien was sending off with regularity was really a misery name.

What her fellow analysts wrote off as an anomaly, Mitsuki acknowledged as a possibility. She developed an audacious plan to hack into the alien mom ship utilizing the misery sign.

Then she went additional, proposing importing a program that might trigger the transport ships’ cloaking mechanism to fail.

Fortunately, her boss, Nikhil, was as a lot an out-of-the-box thinker as Mitsuki. Comparing such an thought to Stalingrad throughout World War II, he understood how Mitsuki’s thought, if efficiently executed, might trigger spirits to rebound worldwide.

It was good to see Nikhil return. Introduced in Invasion Season 2 Episode 1, Nikhil was a breath of recent air, relishing the problem of defeating the invaders as an alternative of moping about all that had been misplaced.

WDC President Benya Motabe, though skeptical, went together with Mitsuki’s plan as a result of, past tying up her nuclear missile operators for a half-hour, actually had nothing to lose with a protection that was going nowhere.

Benya was additionally prepared to take possession of the thought, urging folks to “look to the sky” in a worldwide handle, with no thought if any payoff could be coming. Luckily, Mitsuki’s technique bore fruit in a giant manner, with seven transports shot down, just one over a populated space.

The counterattack was so profitable that even Mitsuki allowed herself a second of celebration, hugging Maya. But this too shall move as a result of what is the subsequent transfer militarily?

Is this the turning level that Nikhil hoped for? Or was it only a temporary respite for battered humanity?

The shootdown certainly got here on the proper time for Clark and his Movement troops, who had been locked in a literal firefight with an alien swarm. But did the ship being shot down trigger the aliens to start out dying, or was it one thing else?

While Aneesha saved attempting to run away, we did study extra in regards to the Movement, as Ryder defined to Luke that they go away nobody behind.

The rebellious Luke picked the flawed time and place to develop into smitten with Ryder, who’s as headstrong as her father, Clark.

Still, why is Aneesha sniping at Clark, who has performed nothing however assist them? When will it develop into evident to her that her technique of hiding and working is not working?

Might Trevante be on the following battlefront in Oklahoma? At least he managed to search out himself an ally. Rose was proper to be skeptical of Trevante. After all, she had been coping with nutjobs searching aliens for months.

But she was equally irritated by her coworkers within the police division, whose response to her initiative in regards to the lacking townfolk was to not “worry your pretty little head about it.”

The manner the army handled the locals additionally rubbed her the flawed manner.

It did take Trevante some time to find out methods to win over Rose.

He might see how a lot she cared for the city and its lacking folks. But he nonetheless needed to persuade her he wasn’t simply one other loon in search of to battle aliens.

Trevante lastly acquired via to Rose with a giant burst of honesty, explaining what he had misplaced and why he was nonetheless pursuing his mission.

Also, all that point immersed in Casper’s pocket book paid off as he might see the connection (nonetheless tenuous) between the city’s former sheriff and the alien invasion. (You simply knew Sam Neill’s character could be used greater than that one scene on Invasion Season 1 Episode 1.)

Once Trevante acquired his palms on the pocket book once more, he was in a position to promote Rose on his mission. But no matter did he promise her to safe his freedom? And the place was he headed subsequent? Back to the bottom or the key lab on the city library?

What will Earth’s one victory imply?

Where did Sarah go?

What will Trevante do subsequent?
