Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow.
“Shoot the Moon” is tonally quite a bit different than the first hour. The opening scene with Dingaan was a creepy introduction to what has been happening back on Earth while Tom and Lexi have been in space. The twisted scene with Dingaan’s team being transformed into human skitters right before him definitely had a B horror film vibe and that atmosphere carries itself throughout the episode.
Falling Skies Season Finale Part 1
We quickly learn that the process of turning humans into skitters has seemingly evolved and now the Espheni are able to drop pods from the sky with slug monsters that can do the job with great efficiency. It’s kind of odd that just three episodes ago we were being show this very mechanical process in a factory of changing humans into skitters and now that process has been completely changed. I guess we’re just expected to believe they had this process in development without anyone knowing this whole time? Regardless, visually this works a whole hell of a lot better as we have slug monsters, fog and some weird slime that causes people to freeze into place. This is a lot more fun than some remote factory that is churning out hybrids.
