Outlawed Torn Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Who saw the two hour premire of this show? I've been looking for a new sci-fi show since i heard that V got cancelled and this seems to be a very nice replacement to it. From what i can tell this will be a better show than V was and hope it doesn't fall into the category of good sci-fi shows that get cancelled (Firefly, Terminator). So what was your opinion on it? http://www.tnt.tv/series/microsite/fallingskies/?SR=sr3_524632_go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cHRiSCOe Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I was looking forward to seeing this. How was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlawed Torn Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 I thought it was good. I would compare it with Walking Dead in the style of the show but just not as great as it. Falling Skies felt a bit slow but it seems like it is going to be great though based on the previews on the upcoming episodes. Its definitely worth a watch.

GrindPantera95 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I'll let the 2nd episode decide whether I keep watching or not. Right now it's almost a parallel of the Walking Dead (TV) except with aliens. Hoping I can find some character to attach myself too. Nobody really got any development other than Hal and Tom in the motivation area. The constant commercials, despite claims of limited commercials, were getting on my nerves, as were the "coming up next" notifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger 1 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 You really need at least 4 or 5 episodes before a good fair opinion can be given. I watched Falling Skies and it reminded me of another TV show from long ago called Homefront back in the early 90’s which didn’t last very long. On the quick….As long as there is a point to all the traveling and a ends to the means it may have a chance but right now I really don’t see it making it past one or two seasons. I see lots of issues with a few characters including that 13 year boy walking around with his AK 47 dude this kid would be a nut case after being in a firefight … Here you can see a bit of Wolverine movie around the edges Again, more episodes are needed.

gazmaster1 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I really enjoyed this but then again i loved the event. I have been looking for something to sink my teeth into since lost finished. this wont be the next big show but i can see it running a few seasons. if you are a fan of sci-fi then this should fill the void.

tiger 1 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 To all resistance we have captured a Skitter and its being held at 2nd Mass HQ. Next week we go deeper into the relationship between the Skitters and our Children. End of Transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dz06lt Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 i am enjoying it so far. As for cancellations who knows being on cable tv rather than network will mean that it should have more of a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthSoth Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I just started watching this show. I've enjoyed it quite a bit so far. That was pretty bad ass when Noah took that Skitter out solo then drags it into the school. I'll definitely give this a go for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReD DeMoN 79 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Well so far i'm really enjoying the show. Ever since I first saw the preview I knew it was going to be a show that i liked. The 2 hour pilot was good but I felt that the first hour was better. Based on the previews I didn't think that the show would be about Tom Mason trying to get his son back, but its still entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eludingkarma Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 This is one of the best shows TNT has done. I've enjoyed it so far and just read that it was picked up or a second season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exo-apollo Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 So far the show is good, not bordering on great yet but it is still early days. The characters are still not formed outside of being your standard archetypes and help us all if this show continues to make characters act completely stupid and irrationally simply as a device to move the plot forward....But yeah early days, still a lot to be seen.

The Dagda Mor Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I really like the show so far. Would much rather watch it on DVD so I don't have to watch the commercials but what do you expect on TNT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger 1 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Now that several weeks have gone by the show is wreaking some, starting to feel like Oh I know what’s going to happen next before it happens and I’m right…stop focusing too much on that professors kids its boring and its hurting the show.

Well now they have the kid. But really was it THAT boring? They captured a skidder, and then learned how they communicate and how to kill them one one one. Each episode has had them out on a mission of some kind in the shit. It's becoming pretty clear that the Mason family will be the main focus of the show. Whether it's recuing each other or fighting together. I'm sure that we will see some one shots of other characters to get their backstories but the show is going focus mainly on the Mason family.

The Dagda Mor Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Still enjoying it. I understand they have a lot of back story to tell while still trying to keep new things happening too. Tough to pull off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strubdog Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I'm just happy that there is still decent sci-fi on (and falling skies fit the bill) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SynysterChris Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 People comparing it to The Walking Dead (tv series), personally I think is better. But to me I'm a fan of the comic Walking Dead and the show just doesn't do it for me. But ya I'm looking forward to the finale this Sunday 2 hours long.
