The Whisperers and Under The Dome Thoughts and Spoilers
I’m really loving “The Whisperers” on ABC still, and the last episode where Drill showed himself to be some kind of energy form was great. They are heavily hinting that Drill is an alien, and he needs an energy source to feed on, which is the glowing thing they found in the desert. The kids also mentioned that Drill misses his family. Is he a stranded alien? Is he trying to bring his family home? I’m feel like this could very easily be a reinvention of Disney’s “Watcher in the Woods,” which was based on a book about an alien child that got trapped on earth during an inter-dimensional field trip. Disney totally changed the story from the book when they made it into their classic 80s scary movie. I actually wrote a blog post a few years ago recapping the differences between the Watcher in the Woods movie and the book.
Over the “Under the Dome,” I’m honestly only watching this for the eye candy and to see it through to the end. So far this season has been horrible. This too looks like some kind of alien life force invasion that is ripping of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” at this point. I also hate that we keep going from hating Big Jim to rooting for him.
Spoilers for the next episodes of both shows below . . .
