This episode has some more vague hints that something very bad happened in their marriage before he went on Afghanistan, but I’m not sure it’s possible for me to care much less about what it is. Related What to Stream in October: Invasion, One of Us Is Lying, Locke & Key (Like…does he think he’s the only soldier in England with a wife he loves that they’ve promised to get back to?) No matter what hijinks they get into together, it has to be more interesting than watching Trevante’s struggle to try to find a way back to America. That it chooses two of the worst characters - autistic, alien vision having teen Casper and pointless American soldier Trevante - to pair up is…well, it’s unfortunate, but perhaps they’ll be less dull together?
GAME OF THRONES S1E8 PLUS
On the plus side, “Contact” is the first episode of Invasion that actually manages to bring two of its wildly disparate plot threads together. Will next week reveal that Hinata has been taken over by one of the alien creatures? We can only hope. This show has made me a monster, is what I’m saying. Of course, the idea that she manages to somehow “reach” the aliens by sending a metric ton of selfie videos of her presumed-dead girlfriend, like, describing flowers and the beauty of sunshine is so nauseatingly saccharine that I kind of hope it just makes them angry enough to destroy another city. It’s kind of a big leap to assume that the aliens are interested in communicating with us at all, given the destruction they’ve already caused across the planet, but, at this point, why not? While Mitsuki does manage to figure out a way to use the wreckage of the Hoshi-12 to open something like a communication channel with the nebulously identified alien threat. Though the title of InvasionSeason 1 Episode 8, “Contact,” implies that something major is going to happen in this installment, that’s yet another in a long line of disappointments when it comes to this show.
