Fame

[Lady Lasa]

"Fame" airs tonight at 8pm (7pm Central time). I'm still looking for information, but this is the synopsis I've found so far:

Ben's secret identity is discovered; an alien refugee prepares to detonate a nuclear bomb

I'll be back after the episode for discussions.

I'm gonna live forever! I'm gonna learn how to fly FAME! I'm gonna ---Okay, I'll stop.

I think it's off to a great start. The new opening looks great, the new villain seems interesting, and nothing made me groan. ...Except Julie seemed a little...evil.

Alright, first impressions... not bad. If I remember correctly, the Alien Swarm movie was the in-between point to go after Season 3 AF and before Season 1 UA. The problem I have with that is that they implied an eventual Ben/Elena there, but now, Julie is back in the picture. I have mixed feelings on that and Ben looked like he did near the end of the episode too. Then again, that might just be my interpretation of the look on his face.

The mention that government agencies know about the Plumbers does answer the question of why the military wasn't surprised to see the aliens earlier in S3.

I was glad to see that they seem to be gearing up for an actual story arc this time around. Between Ben's fame issues and the introduction of a new villain, it looks like we may be able to hope for some continuity.

Julie was for the first time not saying something in a tiny mouse voice. It was strange.

All in all i feel like after a season we are back on track.

I like it and will be watching next week.

It was a wonderful start. With the introduction of the villain and the 4 aliens who escaped from him, things seem to be gearing towards a good story arc. I'm excited to see how things go.

I'm wondering about Ben/Elena as well. I wonder if it'll take any part in the series or if Elena will even show up... Well, I suppose we'll have to wait and see.
