Falling Skies - TNT

Season 4 premieres Sunday, June 22nd! There's a pretty cool trailer posted on the official site. Definitely worth checking out.

Bumping this thread up.

1 week until the Season 4 premiere of Falling Skies. Who's planning to watch it?

I don't have television but I'll be on the lookout for news!

TV is out of storage but (1) it's old & I don't know if it survived the winter & (2) don't have TV service hooked up yet; it's just not in the budget.

Can't wait!

Zathras,
Did you see the season premiere?! Can't wait to discuss it with you.

My thoughts on the first two episodes of Season 4: (Spoilers Ahead)

The whole "ghetto camps" storyline reminds me of the New Caprica story arc from season 3 of Battlestar Galactica. The group in captivity are is divided; some working on escaping while others cutting deals to survive. Those outside the fence are also divided with some continuing the fight while others live "free" in Lexi's Garden of Eden.

I appreciate the various approaches by the Espheni to pacify the resistance: ghettos, Edens, re-education centers. They seem to be developing a better understanding of the nature of humanity. The youth groups were a nice callback to our own established history (Nazi Germany) as well as similar groups within other sci-fi franchises (the Visitor's Friends youth group from the classic V series, for example.) The big reveal showing Lexi working with an Overlord was far from surprising and is there anyone else who thinks Lourdes is still under the influence of the "eye bugs"?

Good start to the season and I can't wait to see where it goes.

I'm a bit disappointed with FALLING SKIES this season. (although the last ep was better than the first)

Yes, I believe Lourdes is still under the influence.

Hoping the following eps are better.

Predictions for episode 4: Weaver's daughter Jeannie has been turned into a Skitter, Cochise will rescue Matt from the Youth Re-education School and the overlord meeting with Lexi is the same overlord from Anne's dream (aka, Lexi's alien dad).

This last ep I saw was better... with the fence. But somehow, I feel like it's "jumped the shark"... why would Lexi have "mystical type" powers? This started out as a plain old simple alien invasion and survival show and now there is some kind of mystical powers thing going on...idk... doesn't seem right for the show.

Well, religion has always been used to pacify and control the population...so using a Lexi in that way does make sense. It just bothers me that the show took that turn. (but maybe i'll get use to it)

I haven't watched last nights ep yet so I'll comment more after I do.

Colin Cunningham as Pope - awesome!!

Colin always does a good job

This last ep was really good IMO.

The way Aaron kept pushing this ep on FB I kind of thought he'd have a bigger role...but that's my fault...I should have realized.

I am a few years to late, but we recently picked up a complete box of Falling Skies and have watched the two first seasons so far. A good show so far I think. It had a few not so good scenes, like Mason hitting that ship, but on the whole entertaining in a good post-apocalysy way. A big positive thing, for me at least, is all the location scenes in this day and age where everything usually is CGI. The arrival in Charleston was an interesting way to go. I hope season three is as good as the earlier.

Good to hear that you enjoyed the show Zathras. I've heard that it gets less good in the later seasons, but we'll see. We will probably go for season three after Christmas if time permits.
