Aliens. Do they come in peace? Well, the aliens that have attacked earth in Steven Spielberg’s Falling Skies do not. In fact, they have come to our planet and not only brought a swarm of six-legged, insect-looking aliens and large bullet-proof, bullet shooting machines, but they’re also kidnapping kids and harnessing them to become scrap-metal scavenging drones. (Now that’s a sentence I never thought I’d type.)
Sunday nights aren’t known for great television but since Falling Skies aired on TNT on June 19th, this house has been watching Tom Mason (Noah Wyle) and the “2nd Mass” resistance army band together to fight the invading aliens. Without a doubt the show is exciting. There are endearing moments followed by total alien butt-kicking moments with a few “ewww gross!” scenes. But the show is more than just that too. Each character on the show brings a great back-story and complexity that makes their fight for survival in this dangerous world so interesting to watch. Every episode provides a new twist and turn that leaves you looking forward to next week’s episode.
Check out the trailer for Falling Skies below, then make sure you tune in to Falling Skies on Sundays, 10/9C on TNT. If you haven’t been watching the show, you can catch up on previous episodes online, then tune in next Sunday for the 2 hour season finale.
About Falling Skies
FALLING SKIES opens in the chaotic aftermath of an alien attack that has left most of the world completely incapacitated. In the six months since the initial invasion, the few survivors have banded together outside major cities to begin the difficult task of fighting back. Each day is a test of survival as citizen soldiers work to protect the people in their care while also engaging in an insurgency campaign against the occupying alien force.
At the center of the series is Tom Mason (Noah Wyle), a Boston history professor whose family has been torn apart. His wife was killed in the initial attack, and one of his three sons has been captured. Determined to get his son back and to ensure the safety of his other two sons, Tom must put his extensive knowledge of military history to the test as one of the leaders of the resistance movement known as the 2nd Mass, because of their location in Boston, Mass. They are constantly trying to gain intelligence about the aliens in order to one day outsmart and overtake them and hopefully rebuild their lives.

I love Falling Skies. I’m always looking forward for each new episode. I think Hal is super-cute, too young for me, but a girl can dream. 🙂 The aliens are kinda freaky, but I’m a guts and gore person.

I’m a big fan of this series…I’m looking forward to the 2 hour season finale, but know I’ll be missing it when it’s on hiatus. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love Falling Skies. I’m finding the whole situation with the Skitters and the other aliens and what the Skitters are/were to be fascinating. But really, it’s all about Noah Wylie with scruff.

we watched the entire first season! I really like the show, my only fear is the longevity of the show, how long can they stretch the story out?
my son and I watched all of them together
We really like Falling Skies and are happy to see that it’s been renewed for another season.

I’ve never seen this show but have an episode on my dvr. Looks so interesting compared to other junk on tv.
I love Falling Skies – especially the son who is so conflicted – Ben – he doesn’t want to change and is fighting it all the way

I’ve watched two episodes of “Falling Skies” – I lost interest in the first one but enjoyed the second one I watched more. I think they’re starting to “find their legs” and I’ll be watching again soon.

I haven’t seen it, because we don’t have cable. My mom watches it and likes it, so at some point, I’ll probably see it.
I didn’t get a chance to watch it, but usually TNT runs a marathon so hopefully I will catch it or wait for it on DVD.
first season rocked!!! im on pins n needles for next summers season to start =D

I haven’t been able to watch it yet, but am looking forward to watching it.
I was super excited when it first came out, but after watching it, it is just way to slow. I understand that they are doing character development, but you have to put more action into a show based on aliens conquering Earth. Hopefully the second season will be a little faster paced

Love the show 🙂 I’m a fan of alien invasion scenarios 🙂
My husband and I love to watch Falling Skies. I am excited about the new season….
I saw the first couple episodes and I’m sad I missed some of the others. This will be one series I’ll be wanting on DVD.
I have not seen it. I wasn’t really sure what it was about. After reading your description I think my husband would love to watch it.

It’s good but scary! The harnessed kids are so awful.

I love this show, its a whole new take on the alien invasion. I though Spielberg was loosing his touch but this show proves he still has tons left to give. Can’t wait till next season to find out who/what the new taller guys are
