Falling Skies premier

[Wycen]

This new sci-fi show aired on TNT last night. I liked the opening with a child's point of view of the invasion until I realized it was starting en media res and we weren't going to see the actual first attack.

Hope to see more alien stuff soon.

Yes, the show starts 6 months after the invasion, when the people are in survival, recovery and resistance activities.

I believe the period before the show's start is covered by a webcomic available at the show's homepage.

Some discussion of it in its other (slightly confusingly-named) thread here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/media-...rnal-1-2011-1-2-live-learn-falling-skies.html

Looks like it has potential - and, it has Moon Bloodgood, who obviously does have some good blood.

For a pilot I thought it was pretty good. It established a lot of things and we got to see cool alien fights.

I enjoyed it and thought it was a good start, very good cast chemistry.

I really wish DVRs would take an advance notification to record something. Because I missed the dang show because I knew about it 2 months ago, rather than 1 week ago when the DVR will let me flag it to record.

I just hope the show does not become a running away show. I would like to them start Ewoking the aliens...traps are your friends.

 

[Krug]

Yeah a good start. At least it didn't try to do the whole 'hide the aliens' thing.

So the kids/teenagers being taken by the Skitters and having the control devices put on their backs ARE the Pilots of the Mechs right? Well grafted into the Mechs. I was looking at the size of the mechs and then thinking again that they are 2 legged and arrived at that conclusion. It was interesting to see a character like Pope.. Im trying to put a finger on where Ive seen that actor before.. I was thinking Stargate but im not sure.


Question: The 'general' we see in the first episode. The one that divides up the groups and who we dont see again. He seems to play an awful lot of high ranking military roles.. I think I remember him back in Undersiege. Has he ever been a regular in a tv show?
