Shall We Gather at the River - S2-E2
Corrected entry: During the abortive attack on the aliens' structure in season 1, Weaver's command car, the GTO convertible with the 50 cal gets hit, and ends up lying on its side. The second episode of season 2 shows it, intact and undamaged as Tom and Weaver are discussing their plans. I can understand salvaging the .50, but the fuel and engine oil would have leaked out of the GTO, and once on its four wheels there would be no guarantee of its starting.
Character mistake: Tom Mason makes references to smaller armies defeating larger ones, of which history is rife with examples. He cites the Scottish defeating 'the British' at the Battle of Stirling Bridge. 'The British' did not exist at that time. The Scots administered a beating against the English in the Scottish War of Independence, against the Earl of Surrey, under Edward I. Someone with his level of knowledge would know that.
Question: Did humans at any point on the show ever reverse engineer any of the alien technology?
Correction: Actually, unless the engine block cracked, most of the oil would likely stay inside the engine, likewise unless the gas cap broke off, most of the gasoline would remain in the tank. I had a motorcycle accident a few years ago, and after a year, I still had to drain oil out of the engine to finish rebuilding it.
