Children of Men

NEW S01, E19 Mon 5/27/13, 10:01PM-11:00PM NBC

Rachel and Monroe face off; Tom and Jason get shut out when Miles, Charlie, Nora and Aaron make it inside the tower; Miles and Monroe battle.

I like that things are really happening now.

Rachel looks good in a tank top. I don't care about anything else she does as long as someone gets the power turned back on and she looks good. Seriously, how does she look better 15 years later than she did in the flashbacks?

[SoCal]

Since I love, love, love this show, I think I have earned the right to bitch about ONE thing:

Why do 90% of the characters look almost exactly the samw as they do in "flashbacks" of 15 years ago, both before and just after the power goes out? Their hair looks the same, it's curled, and cut. Aaron's beard looks almost precisely the same. The only difference I saw was in Miles when he was still with the militia and had Rachel tied up.....I noticed that his sideburns were more "Sam-like." The only characters who have really changed are Danny and Charlie.

Come on Kripke. You know we love your shows but these guys should look a lot more beat up than they are. Where are they getting their dental work done? Who's washing and curling the women's hair? When do the men shave?

Sorry , but....

It's okay sweetie, you may complain about that all you want. When the producers talk about the show, I keep expecting them to make some comment about the characters' appearance, but they seem to be avoiding that issue.

I think Aaron has more hair on his face, but I wish he did not.

For a second, I thought Rachel was actually going to blow herself up, but that Monroe would escape.

I have grown to admire Rachel's strength and think she is a valuable part of the team. All of the women have displayed admirable strength so I hope they continue to survive.

Monroe and Miles are having another face-off. With the weapons they have, can they get close enough for another man-to-man fight?

Hi Anti/Angel!

Will Miles and Bas shoot each other? Maybe just at each other.

I have conflicting feelings about Rachel. Remember how she killed the first time in Bas's office....by plunging that screwdriver into a scientist she used to work with and now was working with Bas (to save his family)? And it wasn't long before she was doing the same thing. She seems to love her kids but she's always leaving them. Maybe actually seeing Danny die has messed her up. And I can't figure out just how much she knows about "the tower." She's got a poker face I could only dream about.

How many people stayed behind in the tower? Where did they get food to last for 15 years? What about clothes and sanitary/medical needs? Did anyone die?

And if Randall had a device that let him know where all the pendants were......why didn't he know the tower was active? Why didn't the people in the tower go after him?

So it looks like the season finale will see the power turned back on, but we've been told (by Grace) that it may cause MAJOR problems.

And Tom and Jake seem to have gotten free! What will Tom do? He's a cunning bastard and his son seems to be wavering a bit.

I love this show!

I do struggle with Rachel being a hypocrite. Killing someone and then doing the same thing she killed him for is hypocritical. However, that theme is running throughout the series. Everyone will let the world end to save their loved ones.

I sear to beans I expected Tom to bash the Captain in the head as soon as he was cut loose.

Randall had to know those people were in the tower.

Maybe they were prisoners like Grace?

Or they turned against Randall when he sided with Monroe?

Edit: I am confused on this because Randall looked at someone and said "It was you!" as if he was totally shocked.

I am very curious to see what happens when Rachel turns the power back on.

Will the world burn?

I'll have to watch again. I missed where Randall said, "It was you!" Could he have been talking to the bald headed guy that Rachel said to, "You opened the door."

I'm sure we'll both be watching intently on Monday night.

BTW, the FOX network is running "The Following" series again. I've already missed the pilot episode, but there are other shows to see.

[AntiArbitrator]

Good to know about the replay of The Following. Thanks.

I am going by memory regarding Randall's reaction. There was so much being revealed. I need to watch it again too, but I deleted it.

She's got a poker face I could only dream about.

You're not kidding. She must have said "I don't know" a thousand times in the past 15 years and 100 times to Monroe in the bunker - and lied with a straight face every time. I think that is what started to impress me. I can not do that.
