    THIS EPISODE WAS INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell happened to that smoke?!!!! I guess that theory about Bennigan being commanded by Drill's opposition is debunked now. Minx is a VERY dangerous girl, she CUT herself to help Drill. That girl needs to be isolated in place with no electricity whatsoever.

    - This was an excellent episode. The amount of playing off of everybody's needs and wants was great. Minx played off of her mother's insecurities regarding her father. Drill played off of Henry's need for his father. And a lot was tied to the agent's not wanting to kill Claire's son.
    - Speaking of: the DOD agent, FBI agents, and the AEC agent's lack of following protocol was what allowed all of this to happen.

    Got that right! i knew she was different than the other kids but to go this far proves that Drill chose his perfect lieutenant.

  7. ivanJune 23, 2015 at 4:27 AM

    Honestly could ANYONE? LOL, that was crazy and what do you think it means? The episode also proved that Drill's talking to Bennigan and not his opposition right?

  8. Kris SmithJune 23, 2015 at 4:31 AM

    - Where ever Drill comes from he probably needs a lot of energy now that he's here, or to get here.
    - Yeah, it looks like Drill is talking to Shaun.
    - People in the various Fed divisions not following SOP really irks me. It's there for a reason, and it's not to bind you in read tape. Claire's been doing that all along, but she was really going at that hardcore this episode.

  9. ivanJune 23, 2015 at 4:58 AM

    So you think that's why Drill recruited kids? Because he literally wasn't able to be on Earth until now? At first i was on the Drill's opposition talking to Bennigan train when he closed the shaft but then Wes said it wasn't supposed to be closed. It was her son, are you telling me that if your child was in that much danger you would follow some idiotic rules and let your child die?

    WTH!??! Who ate the cloud? Was it Drill? Was it whoever is working with Sean? Does it make this creature stronger? Closer to becoming visible?

    Well, I'm a grownup and even though I know more than the folks in the show I don't know what's going on. :-) I want to know more. :-)

    Well, now we know how Drill works the kids. At least the older kids....he breaks things down into pieces they can't recognize as being good or bad. Though Minx is pretty creepy.

    I'm getting annoyed with the bald FBI agent. I suppose some people, even after seeing something *that* atypical né unheard of and he's still asking mundane questions. At least he had Claire's back when it came down to it.

    Loved the episode.

    Now. Who ate the nuclear explosion?

  11. prpleightJune 23, 2015 at 7:39 AM

    I'm not finished with my theory. The way he's following/tracking the kids just doesn't fit with him working with Drill. Too much of what Drill has done would be a lot easier to accomplish with a smart adult than having to manipulate, piecemeal, a bunch of children.

    ReplyDelete
  12. ivanJune 23, 2015 at 7:43 AM

    But Bennigan closed the shaft which WAS Drill's plan so Drill won, so why would Drill's opposition WANT Drill to win?

    ReplyDelete
  13. ivanJune 23, 2015 at 7:48 AM

    Considering in the promo the announcer said "5, 4, 3, 2, 1... Here he comes" I'm guessing we're finally going to see Drill. That whole working the kids may work for Henry but who knows with Minx, it could be Drill finally got what he wanted and is ready to implement the invasion.

    ReplyDelete
  14. prpleightJune 23, 2015 at 8:05 AM

    My thought ( and note...that I do accept that I could be totally wrong..the fun is waiting to see which it is. ) is that Drill's opposition sent Sean to stop Henry from "causing it". But Drill was aware of who Sean is (that he's working for Drill's opposition) and that Sean is Henry's father. By picking Henry to go into the room (instead of Minx) Drill ensured that Sean would go against the opposition's will and stop the flood.

    Oh speaking of the count down...MY DVR RECORDING STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROMO. I'll need to hit the ABC website.


    How many eps do we have of this show for the summer? I forgot to look.


    I kind of hope we don't get to *see* Drill. I took a horror writing class a long time ago. One of tenets the teacher preached was 'never show the monster.' It's extremely rare for a director in film to follow that tenet and they should because it almost never works. (Check Alien vs. Alien 3) Anyway, I hope we get to understand what Drill wants and why we should be afraid (be very afraid). I don't need to see what it looks like.

  17. ivanJune 23, 2015 at 8:14 AM

    Damn that's a hell of a theory! But why would Henry being there matter? He's amnesiac, any kid could've been there and Bennigan wouldn't care.

  18. ivanJune 23, 2015 at 8:17 AM

    Damn that sucks! I get that though, do you have Xfinity? Honestly Drill doesn't scare me, his lieutenant Minx does.

  19. prpleightJune 23, 2015 at 8:19 AM

    Sean may not have cared if it were just any kid but...his own child could have sparked Sean's instinct. Henry yelling Daddy would have increased the odds of Sean protecting Henry before human kind.

    ReplyDelete
  20. ivanJune 23, 2015 at 8:33 AM

    Apparently that instinct wasn't there because Bennigan went straight to the shaft and closed it, so Drill's opposition underestimated Drill right?

    ReplyDelete
  21. prpleightJune 23, 2015 at 9:08 AM

    Of course that instinct was there. He shut off the water that was a couple of seconds from killing his son.


    Yup. I agree that Drill's opposition underestimated Drill. Drill's got humans figured out pretty darned well. The grown ups poo poo their children't talk about an invisible friend and even after they learn what their kids are up to they dismiss it as an isolated incident. Shoot, even after seeing that cloud do something clouds don't do they're still no seeing the big picture. :-) I like smart villains. I hope we find that Drill is equally matched with smart heroes. That makes everything so much more fun.

  22. Shopgirl1999June 23, 2015 at 9:14 AM

    That episode was the best by far. I loved every scene, especially that scene in which Drill "ate" the cloud or whatever that happened. I am so looking forward to next week. Minx is really creepy.

    ReplyDelete
  23. ivanJune 23, 2015 at 9:30 AM

    He shut the shaft before the water went in because if it went in Drill would lose, so still no instinct. Yeah i see that too, and yeah every good hero needs a good villain.

  24. NiceGuyVanJune 23, 2015 at 9:36 AM

    Seems like drill won the the first game, he ate all that power up before it can spread, that's a huge power up. What game will he play next.
    Not it makes me wonder who is whispering to Sean, is it also Drill? If Drill needed to eat the power, then he needed someone to close the water gate, to save someone? But if he is also whispering to Sean then he could of just sent Sean alone to just close the door right? too many question, and I like that. We get just enough each episode.

    ReplyDelete
  25. ivanJune 23, 2015 at 9:58 AM

    Drill didn't care about saving someone he just needed the shaft closed so he could "eat" the power. The Wes and Claire stuff made me sick to my stomach, why make two of the lead characters cheating spouses?!

    I kept thinking it looked like the hatch from Lost :) Good amount of suspense. Just wondering what was Drill's point? No one was killed and the plant didn't meltdown. Are there two entities? One being Drill and one being some other entity trying to stop him through Sean? Can't wait to find out.

    ReplyDelete
  28. ivanJune 23, 2015 at 2:47 PM

    Drill's point wasn't to kill anyone or to meltdown the plant, it was to "eat" the power from the Nuclear Plant, at the end of this episode Drill won. That's the popular theory, that Drill has opposing entity to his plans and maybe through Bennigan.

    what? Drill dictated to Minx the instructions for Henry, instead of speaking to him directly
    Henry: why didn't Drill ask me to do this himself?
    Minx: I don't know maybe he's busy

    and the girl in the park, Drill told her to help Henry instead of talking to him himself. why?

    ReplyDelete
  32. ivanJune 23, 2015 at 3:27 PM

    Huh you're right, maybe because his mom's Claire and Bennigan may be working against him

    "He shut the shaft before the water went in because if it went in Drill would lose, so still no instinct." I saw 'protect my kid'. It's all in how you interpret the scene. It's why I hang out here. I find the discussions...especially when I'm guessing about what's going on in a good story....interesting and fun.

  36. prpleightJune 23, 2015 at 3:56 PM

    Oh, good question. Maybe because Henry seemed likely to spill the beans to his mother, who would have recognized it's name and taken steps to stop it? We saw that Henry was smart enough to wonder if he should do what Drill was asking because he didn't want to get into trouble.

  37. JamesJune 23, 2015 at 4:16 PM

    Feels like a season finale for which I'm glad. This is the kind of progression I want to see in a lot of shows and The Whispers is hitting the right notes because of it.

  38. JamesJune 23, 2015 at 4:18 PM

    Claire is already pushing Wes away but the guy is the on insisting so he's the one who should really get a reality check.


    Plus, Barry Sloane's natural accent popping out of nowhere is only making things worse.

    ReplyDelete
  39. JamesJune 23, 2015 at 4:29 PM

    Sorry Ivan. Gotta back prpleight on this one. Sean saw Henry in one of the screens when he was at the control room. He was realistic enough that whatever he may be doing, he can't stop himself so wanted the doctor to shoot him. That alone gives me reason enough to believe that Sean quickly came to Henry's rescue to stop the flooding out of his own will and because he cares enough to not let other people get hurt.


    Although Henry hugging him was surprising for him, due to his current state, but there's this thing called "sense of connection" which we saw when all the Bennigans gathered in one placed and Claire was embracing his son and missing husband and Sean just let her be.

    Wow! Minx is a complete sociopath. I fealt sorry for her for a second after watching one of the sneak peeks, I thought she was just a little girl who wanted to keep her parents together, but she is just evil.
    Now the parents, the parents are something else. I mean Wes is completely absent from his daughters life; Lena is just stupid and her daughter knows, she even told Henry, that's just sad, I feel bad for her, she makes me feel sorry for her and infuriated at the same time, how blind can you be? Your husband is trying to stop a meltdown, and your 8 year old daughter is at the garage working on a school Project instead of being glood to the tv with you worrying about her dad? How does that not set every alarm bell ringing in your head? seriously!!!; Claire, she seems to be the only caring parent of the trio. I'm not adding Sean to the mix here, because we haven't seen him as a parent.
    Claire and Wes.... I saw this coming a mile away. It was pretty obvious, specially after he told his old boss to not act as if he knew what was between the two of them in the second episode... he obviously still has feelings for her. It feels more and more that she was the one that chose her family and he made the same decision by default. Again, poor Lena... she should just leave him and focus on being a good mother, because every episode she sucks at it more.
    Now Drill... the manipulative bastard got exactly what he wanted. Well played!!!
    It was a great episode, probably the best one yet.
    Can't wait to meet Drill next week!

  42. Victoria LlanosJune 23, 2015 at 9:13 PM

    Regarding Wes and Claire, to me it looks like she chose her family, and he stayed with his... by default. TBH, I don't hate them as much as I wish I did. I've always drawn a line at cheaters, but I'm kind of ok with them... I kind of like them... Probably because Lena is stupid and we haven't seen Sean/Claire really interact as couple. I may change my mind next episode with Sean back.

  43. Victoria LlanosJune 23, 2015 at 9:20 PM

    For whatever's worth, I think Minx knows much more than the rest of the kids, she's just like the little girl in Secrets & Lies, she knows it's wrong she just doesn't care as long as she gets what she wants.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Victoria LlanosJune 23, 2015 at 9:24 PM

    Minx is a complete sociopath!!! the way she played off her mother's insecurities was plain scary! The one thing all children have in common (and I mean all children as in every child in the world) is their love for their parents. But the way she manipulated her mom, there's no love there... She is way passed therapy, she needs meds.

    LOL! The worst part is, I actually like the actress. I went into this show feeling extra bad for her, and then they made her this weak character that make me simpathise more with Wes, with the cheater!!! that's unconceivable for me! How is that even posible?!?! But she is so weak, and she is a terrible mom, no wonder Wes went looking elsewhere. And yes, I do realize how horrible that sounds...

    He seems too young. Until you asked the question I had just been thinking good parenting (as opposed to Minx' parents who have been too preoccupied with their own problems to give her the attention she needs) But now, I'm wondering if, perhaps, something about the illness that left him deaf could affect his dealings with Drill.

    That girl gave me the creeps from the get go, she didn't even pretend to be affected , all she cared about was her daddy... And the closing scene where she tell's her mother that it was all the boy's mother fault for not following them to the lake like she had planned, and it dawns in on that poor woman that her child actually killed another child in cold blood... it was jaw drawping.

    Drastic, yes, but that's what she is. She's a has no respect for human life, she shows no empathy for the distress she causes, she dimply doesn't care, she doesn't even love her mother. Drill indid chose the perfect lieutenant.

    I think if it wasn't Minx, it would be somebody else. Sure, maybe it would've complicated things a little bit more, but if she had a heart, he would've used her parents impending separation to get her to get the schematics for him, and then give them to whoever was doing his dirty work.

    Just streamed this episode and to echo some of the other comments: it really rocked and it was very suspenseful. Initially, before the series debuted, I had some misgivings about cute little kids being controlled by some malevolent (alien) force (a la Children Of The Corn or Village Of The Damned) but after watching the first few episodes of The Whisperers I am all in now and find this to be one of the most compelling dramatic series for summer in a very long time, on any network.
