They capture a live alien and bring it into their resistance headquarters. That alone is risky, as they don't know if the aliens have telepathic abilities, or small weapons or soldier locators that alien species (in this case, us) would not recognize as inorganic, or even the limits of the alien's strength.
After catching it, they seemingly have no plans other than "let's do something with this creature." A nurse (Moon Bloodgood)wants to try to communicate with the alien. This is the most logical path, but she is apparently going to be overruled by the doctor (the irresponsible brother from Wings). He wants to vivisect the captive, for reasons that are unclear - the aliens seem to have an exoskeleton, but can be killed by conventional impact weapons. Both of them kind of argue, then walk out and live the alien and a child who was until two days prior under direct alien control through implanted mind control technology* alone in the clinic with the recaptured child's father. The father is armed, and has already shown absolutely no ability to follow orders in a combat situation. Whaaaat?* It's ok. They removed the external evidence. All that's left are the needles described as 'behaving more like a living organism' and tapped directly into his nervous system through the spinal cord. They also discovered that the implant cured the child of a lifelong disease, but I'm sure everything else is exactly the same.
It is driving me crazy. I'm sitting here thinking, 'What is wrong with you people?!? '
I have zero military or alien-combat experience, but I already see about one thousand things wrong with this amorphous resistance. Somebody needs to take charge, instill real discipline, and designate some sort of team to coordinate a consistent plan to communicate with the alien captive while protecting both the human captors, and the prisoner from emotional decisions made by shortsighted people bent on revenge.
If this is humanity's last hope, were doomed.
