Re: Falling Skies
I like the way they jumped right into the action and confrontation with the aliens, unlike some other shows where they mess around for a whole season and try to build up the suspense or whatever. I also like that they have other issues going on besides just the aliens. So far we've watched all the episodes and are still digging it.

Re: Falling Skies
I love the show. However,they should have started with the invasion and not getting right into fighting the alliens.

Re: Falling Skies
I like the war of the world feel the Driods have with the deep Harruuum noise they make.
The "Skidders" are rather interesting as well, nice to see some variation on the humanoid type aliens. What do you think the harnessing kids is all about? Obviously more than just for work slaves as they Skidders seem to have an emotional attachments of some kind.

Re: Falling Skies
We're watching it. I am both enjoying it and yet disappointed at some levels as well. Overall, it is interesting and I hope that the caliber improves over the weeks.
Some of the acting/writing has been shoddy in parts. The black adult fighter and how he reacted to seeing his son seemed preposterous. If he hadn't already had experience with fighting the aliens in a stealthy manner it might have been more believable. But, suddenly he sees his son and blunders right out in the open, putting his son and his future (and the rest of the rescue party) at great peril? I would have bought him insisting that he wouldn't leave without his son, but there was no reason for him to suddenly act (beyond) stupid. For some reason, the first (extremely dangerous) alien captured doesn't warrant any sort of guard detail. For some reason, everyone feels just fine about opening the very large opening to hand the alien food/water, despite the bars 6 inches above being easily wide enough to slip food through. The writing gives me the impression that I'm supposed to like the rascally, insightful John Pope and hope that he can be brought back into the fold for all the help and local knowledge he can offer the human survivors. I would be fine with this, if they hadn't first made him into a leader who is fine with (him and?) his men imprisoning women for their use as sex slaves. I think they went too far to later ask us to like him. |

Re: Falling Skies
I think the Resistance needs to focus on those Mechs for the time. I have yet to see them destroy one. Although keeping a Mech with the Skitter they already have would probably spell trouble.

Re: Falling Skies
I'm still interested in the show, but am not liking the portrayal of the Skitters. Who decided that an interstellar species who builds mechs for battle use would walk around naked on a world they're invading? And by naked, I don't mean literally the lack of clothing, but rather the lack of any weapons or even tools. I find it impossible to believe that any tool-making and tool-using species wouldn't at least carry some analog of a screwdriver or wrench, instead of chasing after people barehanded so they can get shot in the face by a 14 year old boy. It seems like the only reason this choice was made is to increase suspense by putting the humans and Skitters on more equal footing, but there had to have been a better way to achieve that.
