Falling Skies Season 1-2 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)



Discuss Anything About Falling Skies Season 1-2 Here



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.

Moon Bloodgood (Terminator Salvation) co-stars as Anne Glass, a pediatrician who works with the surviving children to help them cope with the traumatic upheaval in their lives. Will Patton (Armageddon, TNT's Into the West) plays a fierce leader of the resistance, Weaver. The series also stars Drew Roy (Secretariat) as Hal, Tom's oldest son and a growing fighter in the resistance movement; Maxim Knight (Brothers & Sisters) as Matt, Tom's youngest son; Connor Jessup (The Saddle Club) as Ben, Tom's son who was captured by aliens; and Seychelle Gabriel (Weeds) as Lourdes, an orphaned teenager who helps Anne in the group's makeshift medical clinic. Colin Cunningham (Living in Your Car) is John Pope, the leader of an outlaw motorcycle gang and Sarah Carter (Shark) is Margaret, a wary survivor of Pope's gang.

FALLING SKIES focuses on the resilience of the survivors and their determination to maintain their humanity when all else has been destroyed. It is a tale of endurance, commitment and courage in which everyday people are called upon to become heroes. They may be outmatched, outnumbered and outgunned, but nothing can beat the human spirit. Most of all, the series is about the ties that bind people together in the most difficult of circumstances.

The aliens in the series are mighty, mysterious and merciless. They are highly intelligent and use military-like tactics, which makes them an overwhelming force against the 2nd Mass. There are two types of aliens that the human survivors have named Skitters and Mechs. Combining live action and special visual effects, the Skitters have spider-like bodies and incredible strength and agility. The deadly, robotic Mechs stand upright and can shoot bullets from their arms. The aliens control captured children, like Tom's son Ben, through bio-mechanical harnesses but have yet to reveal their ultimate plan for them.

FALLING SKIES is executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, along with DreamWorks Television heads Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank, Graham Yost (Justified, The Pacific) and screenwriter Robert Rodat. Rodat, who earned an OscarĀ® nomination for his screenplay for Saving Private Ryan, wrote the pilot from an idea he co-conceived with Spielberg. Mark Verheiden (Heroes, Battlestar Galactica) and Greg Beeman (Heroes, Smallville) are co-executive producers. The pilot was directed by Carl Franklin (One False Move, Out of Time).

1x01 Pilot

It's nice they started with an extra long pilot and this reminded me of something like War of the Worlds but getting take hostage was a bad start and saving the guy only to kill him was amusing

It was first advertised as two episodes and then turned into a two hour pilot but the next episode Prisoner of War is 1x03 in the trailer but 1x02 on TNT

TOP

1x03 Prisoner of War

Mike made a real mess of the rescue attempt just for his own son and you don't see many POW's looking like that

It's a shame Ricky didn't know who his father was and a good call not to shoot the teenagers controlled by the skitters

TOP

This has now been added to Realplayer site

1x05 Silent Kill

It was only a matter of time before the skitters they had captured would killed one of them but using it to find out how to knock it out was impressive and strapping the implant on the back was a great was to get close to save Ben and some of the other kids

What ever they did to Ben it seems to of made him a supper human with all them push-ups but compering a gun to a credit card and not leaving home without it was funny, Jimmy was lucky to survive the bus and inside attack and next weeks episode should be good

Mike did the right thing when he stumbles upon the horrifying truth about the children and staying behind was a suicide mission, i had a feeling he had a plan when he surrendered and was pleased he was shot for pulling a gun

The team work to distracted the skitter while the dropped the hand grenade to blow it up was impressive and the new bullet from the idea of the kid should make for an interesting season finale

TOP

1x09 Mutiny

A interesting lead up to the season finale but the tensions between Tom and Weaver was great

TOP

1x10 Eight Hours

The happy look on their faces after they brought down the first skitter down didn't last long when they seen the rest of them but using the flag pole as a antenna was impressive and Tom going with them to save Ben was a great was to end the first season
