You want me to call the direction bad, then, if it gives a totally wrong impression? That makes little different to what I was complaining about, because I was complaining about the show making people/things look too weak or too strong. Don't show the regulars at all if you are only going to show them die like weeds whereas the trainees are shown to put up a surprisingly decent fight, considering how terribly efficient the beta so far have been (they have even taken over Finland, judging by the map, so they should be the most muthafucking asskicking aliens ever to invade Earth).
