Of course, what Casper sees makes no sense and provides no explanation for what the aliens are, where they’ve come from or what they want. Which, of course, it does, because Invasion has never bothered to explain his random connection to the aliens or how it works, so why not have him be able to see through their eyes while seizing? Sounds legit!
(Hippocratic oath what’s up! I feel like Trevante’s insistence that other doctors in other places do terrible things to kids is like, not a great argument!!) Related Dickinson Review: The Future never spoke (Season 3 Episode 7) Invasion– Photo Courtesy of Apple TV+Įlsewhere, Casper and Trevante have bullied a doctor in a London hospital to induce a grand mal seizure in the boy in the hopes that his poorly defined psychic connection to the aliens will provide some important info. commander decides the needs of the many outweigh Mabye she’s being controlled, puppet-like, I don’t know - but it also may not matter since the U.S. Whether she’s been body-snatched or an alien is simply impersonating Hinata or something else has happened is unclear. Space is a vacuum!!)Īnyway, I guess that’s all okay because it turns out it most likely not really Hinata anyway, as despite her sudden ability to communicate with her girlfriend - and Mitsuki’s steadfast belief that she is talking to the real deal - her speech patterns indicate she isn’t breathing when she talks. (I mean, we all saw the Sandra Bullock Gravity - had Hinata actually been blown out of a spaceship she would basically still be falling through space thanks to the propulsion of the explosion and certainly not able to “swim” back toward the damaged Hoshi with literally nothing to push/create friction against. The episode opens with a surprisingly sweet flashback to what appears to Hinata and Mitsuki’s first date - or at least the first time they’re admitting they’re into each other - before jumping to a scene so ridiculous it takes you literally out of everything the previous sequence was building toward.
From the plot twists that defy both logic and basic physics to totally unearned moments of redemption, it’s just all so much noise. (And, since the hour ends with what appears to be the aliens getting nuked, who even knows where the season finale is headed next week.)įor the first time in its run, Invasion actually makes some surprising narrative decisions, but the emotional beats the show clearly expects to land don’t because none of us care about these characters in any way. People even die! But it all just feels like too little too late. The show genuinely makes some bold choices.

On the plus side, Invasion Season 1 Episode 9, “Full of Stars,” contains the most action of any episode in the series to date.
