Spoiler: 1x06: "Loyalty"

Martinez and Sterling suspect a traitor when someone within their organization undermines their deal with Thomas. Sean meets up with Madeline, a conspiracy theorist, who is also investigating Leila's disappearance. And Simon must choose when his loyalties to the detainees conflict with his responsibilities as a member of Sterling's team.

[Nowhere Man]

[Starbreaker]

Good ep. Something happened!

 

[NCC1701MF]

Is that Amanda Greystone

Yes and she's is in the next episode in two weeks.

 

[Nowhere Man]

Agreed.

 

[NCC1701MF]

The reporter seems to think that the detainees are extra-terrestrials.

The reporter seems to think that the detainees are extra-terrestrials.

And so does the government, doesn't mean they are right.

If the flashbacks were like this week's episode in the pilot half the viewers might not have ditched.

Too bad they spoiled Simon's fate in the previews for next week. I hate when they do that.
The older version of Simon's girlfriend was played by the actress who played Female Changeling on DS9.

What did Simon mean by no water or little water where he came from? Tell me they're not here for the water...

“They’re not here for the water ...”

Sorry, couldn’t resist

I know it's been done to death, but I'd imagine that if aliens were looking for recources, it would likely be water. It's one of the most important things for life. We have a water crisis going on now, bigger than oil. If they are from the future, then future Earth could be without water or have little drinking water.

 

[Skywalker]

I think this might have been this show's best episode to date. The primary focus was on the storyline centered around Martinez, Sophia, Simon, and Thomas, while Sean and Leila's story was pushed more into the background, and the episode was better for it, IMO.

That was kind of a dick move by Sean just up and abandoning Collier like that.

 

[Lt. Trull]

Ya know.... if a water war was happening with the people from the future.... the easiest way would be to build a colony at the bottom of the ocean.... and drain it from the bottom up.... you wouldn't notice it till it was way too late....

 

[bigdaddy]

If they can create wormholes they should be able to create water. However the show is so lame I wouldn't rule anything out.

 

[Lt. Trull]

if they wanted water.... they could mine the moon.... maybe the asteroid belt.... certainly neptune and pluto....
recently scientists have announced that the moon holds BILLIONS of gallons of water....

hows that for a refueling station....

 

[SiddFinch1]

I dont think its about the water. I hope not.

Still no clue ir they are true aliens, future humans or from parallel dimension.

Maybe they were taken to another world by the Preservers
