Season Two begins with several moments of high drama. When Ben goes back to shoot an Alien after he’s been ordered to retreat he accidentality seriously wounds his Father Tom who was standing behind the critter. When Hal confronts his younger brother later about disobeying a direct order the encounter results in a tussle in which Ben overpowers Hal forcing him to his knees. As Ben walks away Hal adjusts the automatic rifle on his back, straightens that back, and walks away a mixture of humiliation and struggle for self-control playing on his face. Meanwhile Anne who has operated on Tom who remains unconscious struggles with the fact as the only doctor around she is forced to treat the people she loves.

The group is at war with the aliens and soldiers die. As Noah says in one of the supplements as Producer he feels relatively safe. Any large group has dissidents and troublemakers and this one is no different. The group spends most of this season struggling to make it to Charleston and when they do discover all is not well in utopia. Politicians and the military make uncomfortable bedfellows. Noah’s Tom has to struggle with the fact that his boys are becoming men prematurely and decide where he is going with his relationship with Anne. This is definitely an adult series.
