- Ben is thoroughly with us. His time harnessed has given him greater than his previously human endurance - in running as well as push-ups - but his loyalties are still with his family and species. Indeed, he's one of the heroes in last night's story.
- Not so much Mike's son Rick, who was also liberated from the harness, but, apparently, only physically. At the end of last night's episode, he reveals his continuing alien loyalties - especially disquieting, in view of his father's death at the hands of the humans in business with the aliens,
- But Pope is back in action, and he's heroic, too, as he saves Hal from death. (Fine acting by Drew Roy as Hal, by the way - his intonations are just like Noah Wyle's, who plays his father.)
Looking forward to the last two episodes of this season.

Maybe I'm getting picky, but I was less than satisfied with the 5th column aspect as a plot device. It is one thing to be backed into a corner where you are forced to make a "Sophie's Choice" against your will. This episode of Falling Skies portrayed a few selfish (talk about selfish!) individuals who are willing to trade their temporary safety for human flesh. For people who time and hardship have degraded to less than human, you might buy this motivation. For the people portrayed in 1.7 the desperation just wasn't there.
