A good number of characters died in tonight's episode and some of them were around for more of a couple of seasons. Characters are Lourdes (since season 1), Tector (since season 2) and Dr. Kadar (since season 3).

The fourth season of this series started today (6/22/2014). The 2nd Mass spends about 20 days to get Charleston and before they enter the city they get attacked.

Four months after the attack the various characters are scattered in kind of confusing (to the viewer) way.

The third season of Falling Skies will start to air on Sunday June 9, 2013. No idea when in Hawaii this will air on the TNT network.

I know two episodes will air today at 6:00 pm HST on TNT and a marathon of episodes will start to air at 7:00 am HST Monday May 27, 2013 with the last episode airing at 4:00 pm HST.

Re: "Falling Skies" on TNT

This second season is getting kind of interesting. One storyline is about the alien themselves having a rebellion within their ranks and the folks of the 2nd Mass seemed to be caught in the middle of this.

Also noticed that most of this season I don't remember any type of military history point being imparted by Tom or anyone else, except for tonight's epsiode where Ben makes a mention that 15 year olds fought in the American Revolutionary War.

Next week is a marathon of previous episodes, a new episode airs two weeks from now.

Re: "Falling Skies" on TNT

Last week's epsiodes had shown that 3 months had past between the end of the 1st season and the start of this season. During that time Tom (Noah Wyle's character) gets dropped off in Michigan by the aliens and makes his way back to Massachusetts.

Saw a promo on TNT tonight that showed Terry O'Quinn (Locke from Lost, Joe White in Hawaii Five-0) in it.

Re: "Falling Skies" on TNT

A new season of Falling Skies starts on June 17. No idea when it starts but according to its Wikipeda entry two episodes will air on that day.

I haven't been to the stores yet but the 1st season DVD is supposed to be out today.

Re: "Falling Skies" on TNT

I've heard the first season was stronger in the middle than it was at the beginning, but never caught an episode. I'm definitely happy to see sci-fi sustained as a somewhat mainstream genre, even if not all entries are spectacular.

There's a podcast devoted to "Falling Skies" called "Falling Skies Cast," and my wife and I had its host as a guest on our podcast last week. He talked a bit about what he liked about the series.

Re: "Falling Skies" on TNT

Last week was the season finale of this series. Word has that it next season will be shown in June of 2012.

My thoughts about this series:

1. It gives the "What If?" premise that what if humans had lost during the movie Independence Day.
2. Hard to say which is more far feteched, that aliens from another world have come here enslaving teenagers or that in 21st century America that there is a high school with access to tube style radios and working 16mm file protectors (with film too).
3. Since the main character was a miltary history professor before the invasion there is always a short history lesson in each episode.
4. No idea how bad the invasion was, as in is there anyone out there growing food or pumping oil or mining stuff?
5. Or for that matter if the communication or GPS satellite system is still out there?

Today's episode shows that the Skitters answer to another race of tall bipedal beings who have been inside those structures that have built around Boston.

Next Sunday there will be a 2 hour season finale.

Re: "Falling Skies" on TNT

I also watched the first two hours, but it just didn't grab me, for some reason. I'll try to watch other episodes and see if it gets better.

Re: "Falling Skies" on TNT

Thanks, Helen. You da bomb!

I watched the first 2-hour session, and thought it was a war movie with aliens instead of humans, and dumped. I can't find anything to hold my interest - yet.
I'll tune in from time to time and se if it changes; so far NO GO.
