The only reason why I watch The Event is that I want to know what happens. For all its stupidity, The Event has proven it can have a substantial amount of plot, as opposed to V which is stuck in a continual rut. “A Message Back” is built upon pure stupidity and illogical actions from everyone–slightly more than usual–but things actually happen.
With his homeworld practically useless, Thomas wants to transfer everyone from the alien world to Earth. Sean goes crazy and is now going after Dempsey with Vicky as a virtual hostage. It requires about 50 suspensions of belief, but characters are doing things.
Score: 7.9/10
