"Little Ones"?
I don't remember anyone from Irwin or Boulder using that term to refer to our grisly clawed fiends. In fact, none of them even saw them when they were 'little'. So how was it that term was used several times by the members of the hunting party? Little plot hole there, or have I missed the bit about when that name would have been adopted

That's all I got! Peace!!

I am ok, they have to have a name. The soldiers will pick up the jargon. They are like six and a half feet tall. I chucked, because it is the classic calling the bald guy Curly or the fat dude slim

Ok, did anyone else sing WD's nursery rhyme in their head as they read it?

No. I sang it out loud as I read it. This aroused some suspicion among my coworkers, but FUCK 'EM! IT'S MONDAY AGAIN, BABY, AND
WEEEEERE BAAAAAACK ALIIIIIIIIVE!!
WHOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!

I would assume that when Michael first arrived he described the "Little Ones" as such as part of sorting out intelligence. This was, of course, while they were still little. Thus the soldiers would've adopted this name for them, and when they turned up this name would've stuck.

Saul - "Lizzy said it, sticking to it" -
But seriously, everyone did talk and share some information for a while before the 2nd wave came in. It just caught on after they explained it further. It's something inferred-

*disappears back into the lurking state.

Heh, heh..... GOTCHA!






...but seriously, no big deal.

Just as a side note, it's a safe assumption that a lot of information is going to be shared between teams now. There's a little hint of that in the next episode, done playfully.

Well, you need some kind of expedient way to bridge the information gap between requisite parties (Saul/Vic/CJ, Colonites, Irwinites, etc.) that have been each info-gathering for several months apart from each other.

I suppose a 20 minute scene where all the character just re-cap what has happened to them and all they learned would be pretty friggin' boring...

In line with what Hardkor is mentioning about CJ and her new status as a potential mission control: I agree. She was never good in the field, but she's awesome with planning. Knowing officially now that she's about to lose her leg, I'd imagine that as we move forward her demise may come when she decides to leave the confines of mission control when she shouldn't.

Or that she'll be left alone to coordinate via radio and gets messed up where she can't defend herself.

I just hope that she does something else in the story other than screaming like a banshee. Don't get me wrong, artistically, Candice Parng does and amazing job of screaming (Bone Chilling) But, please, a season of " Arrghhh!!! " will be worse than week-long waiting.

[Arch_Will]

Is noone else thinking of this for CJ?

I hope to see Puck taking a more of a centre stage role, his character is very likeable and i dont think the colonists will have too much of an issue with Michael seeing as he's returned with a chopper full of military support.

I also agree with everyone's conclusion that CJ will lead from operational point of view whereas Michael will be the boots on the ground quick thinker that is needed for an all out offensive

Ooooh, yes. Screaming. And grunting. And squealing.... the squealing.... mind.... going back.... to that knife-fight with Scratch.... those sweaty bodies... grunting with the effort.... blades glistening.... mmmmmmm...
