As the band is doing a concert at a local farm town for charity, Fi notices that the townspeople can read minds and discovers that it may be caused by eating wheat from a field that was branded by a crop circle.

Alien eps are always interesting to me.

Do you guys think Fi was supposed to fall during the chase scene or Cara just tripped but it worked well for the characters so they kept it in?
I've been working on a Jack&Fi vid and how quick Jack/Patrick is to help her up and then hold onto her to make sure she's okay seems like such an in-character chivalrous former-knight Jack thing that I can't tell if it was scripted or not.

I've wondered about that, too! It looks very natural. I want to say it was unintentional, but Patrick is chivalrous in real life so it worked, anyway. =P
(Also, YAY to a Jack and Fi vid!!)

Here's a question: why do the aliens need the wheat for ESP in this ep? In "Memory" they were certainly capable of projecting thoughts to others without the humans ingesting anything. Also either knew English then or it wasn't necessary for projection, but then the "Roswell" translator was decades before, so maybe they used one of those to learn earth languages and then didn't need it anymore? Or we have more than one set of aliens?

Good question. I thought that in "Memory," they needed to touch the people in order to communicate directly with them, or at least point to them, as we see in the quick shot of Irene and the alien. Maybe they weren't really communicating with the townspeople at all, just altering people's memories (like why Cole says something about a policeman). I think "Listen" was a test run for something bigger, so that many people could hear their message all at once instead of having to touch each person individually.

Sounds reasonable - they did seem to be going down the line touching everyone in town, didn't they? But I do think the townspeople "heard" them and were somewhat controlled by them before that (else many would have runaway in fear).

Not sure. I think it's purposefully ambiguous. Cooksey said in the Season 3 FAQ that they crashed by accident and they were just doing clean up by erasing people's memories, so I'm not sure if they were really talking to people or just making them think like they were. I don't think it's the aliens' intentions to control anyone, but to just be heard and understood, so they probably wouldn't go the whole controlling route to be understood in the future, if that's what this method of communicating requires. They only did it that time because they had to.

We have a copy of a script for this episode! The script is being discussed here.
