Falling Skies
 

Any of you folks watch the show? I thought it was new this summer. turns out it was on last summer too.

dammit. Now I have to find somewhere to watch season 1.

Re: Falling Skies
 

I like this show a lot. Similar to the Walking Dead but with aliens instead of zombies. I like the actors better in Falling Skies and it has way hotter chicks in it :D

I'm gunna watch the season premier off the DVR wants the Heat game's over

Re: Falling Skies
 

I err "acquired" season 1 for the wife. The first couple episodes didn't exactly grab me. How was the s2 premiere?

Re: Falling Skies
 

I have the season 2 premier on my DVR. Season 1 was pretty good.

Re: Falling Skies
 

I watched the first three episodes and gave up. I take it that it got better?

Re: Falling Skies
 

This is one of my "must watch" shows. I really enjoyed last season, and last nights season opener did not disappoint. :tu :tu

Re: Falling Skies
 

I set the DVR to record, damn I thought it was new this year too.

Looks like season 1 is available on hulu plus!

Re: Falling Skies
 

Found It & Just Watched Series Premiere From Last Year! Awesome Series!:banger

Re: Falling Skies
 

I will have to put this on my list of things to catch up on when I get back to America. We get syfy here but I am never around enough to catch it.

Re: Falling Skies
 

We love it too. My 17 year old daughter must have asked me every 3 weeks..."when is Falling Skies coming back on!!"
Season opener did not disapoint.

Re: Falling Skies
 

Don't tell Interpol, but a buddy burned me Season One. I checked it out, yet never really watched it. I just e-mailed him to ask if he caught last night's premiere, or was watching some old Western instead . . . as is his wont.

Should I nudge him more about it, or need I merely let it hang?

Re: Falling Skies
 

I'm sorry brother, but I think I am going to need a translation of you prevoius post.
;s

Re: Falling Skies
 

What part confuses you? Interpol? Copyright laws prohibit theft of intellectual property, with punishment nearly as severe as those for smoking a CC. Buddy? He's a friend. Burned me Season One? See "Interpol" above. Checked it out? I tried the DVDs to see if my deck would read them. Never watched? Said tries were spot-checks, and I did not view the entire shows. E-mail? It is a relatively recent form of electronic communication. Caught the premiere last night? My question was to ask if he had watched said television cablecast. Watched some old Western? This was to enquire if he had instead opted to spend that time during this premiere's airtime viewing one of his particular favored genres, one which is normally sited in the American West during the time between the Civil War and the turn of that century, involving horses, cattle, and gunplay. His wont? Well, he often wants to do that activity (or lack of same) noted above. Nudge? To repeat my initial enquiry to him regarding the SF show in question, in order to either encourage him to do so, or to at least reply to my query. Let it hang? This was an attempt to elicit responses from those on this board who did see this new season's premiere, or who are more familiar with the program than I am, due to my aforementioned lack of concrete direct experience, and whom may be better able to advise me if I should further pester my "buddy" (cf. above) to devote some of his time to this endeavor, as specified.

Does that enlighten you any, or have I missed the source of your confusion somehow? ;)


:D

Re: Falling Skies
 

I couldn't find the first season on Hulu+ but I bought it for $11.00 in HD on Amazon.
I watched S1E1 last night, thought it was decent. Reminds me alot of Walking Dead just with Aliens instead of Zombies.

Re: Falling Skies
 

I concur :D

Re: Falling Skies
 

Didn't see that, nice comparison! :tu

Re: Falling Skies
 

LOL, sorry man, I just didnt understand "as is his wont." and "or need I merely let it hang?"
I must not have had propper quantities of caffine in the system at the time.
:tu

Re: Falling Skies
 

interesting.... hunting begins... ngeh ngeh ngeh

Re: Falling Skies
 

Not a problem, and in fact I'm glad you took my lengthy tongue-in-cheek reply in the best possible humor, as afterwards I began to fear I'd been a bit too much the @$$hole . . . as is MY wont. :r

BTW, FYI, my buddy had NOT watched that premiere, and presently has no plans to watch it at all. Shoot, he has 50-year-old episodes of Sugarfoot, Maverick, and Have Gun Will Travel to view. :D

Re: Falling Skies
 

I think I am on S1E5 now and I gotta say this show is starting to really pick-up.
I am really into it now. After the season premier I wasn't sold but now I am.

Re: Falling Skies
 

The characters and the storyline really does pick up, by midway season 1 I was hooked as well

Re: Falling Skies
 

I was gonna Err, Acquire the show, too, but read that the show sucked.
Guess I was mis-informed by IMDB. Amazing what people with nothing to do all
day but post on the net will do to other people....wait....not ME, I am one of the
GOOD ones that is on the net all day, lol.

Of course, Aquiring stuff got a lot harder lately, so it was a no-brainer in the end.

Re: Falling Skies
 

I hope they don’t keep it at 9:00 on Sunday! I will have to decide to watch walking dead or falling skies!! :hm

Re: Falling Skies
 

Each show comes on at a different time of year, one will be done well before the other begins. Both shows cater to the same range of audience so it'd be suicide to have a conflict & lower ratings for both

Re: Falling Skies
 

:tu So Now I Have Something To Watch All Year, Michael!:banger:D

Re: Falling Skies
 

Yep! Falling Skies and Breaking Bad will easily hold me over until Walking Dead. Oh and then we got this little thing called SEC football I hear comes back in September :D

Re: Falling Skies
 

Any thoughts on the last two episodes, gentlemen?

No spoilers as to the latest one but I liked how they had a mural of Robert E. Lee on the side of a building next to their camp with his quote: "It is well that war is so terrible, lest we should grow to fond of it."

I assume they made it to Virginia 'cause I don't think you'd see that in Massachusetts :D

Re: Falling Skies
 

I have not watched the latest episode but the season is off to a good start. They have set up several different tension points that should keep the season interesting.

I am wondering about the gal with the bi-plane.

Re: Falling Skies
 

I was eagerly and excitedly waiting for season 2 to come out, until I fired up S02E01 and realized I was completely lost, I had NO idea what was going on. Turns out for whatever reason I never finished season 1, yet somehow had filed the show away as "awesome" and "can't wait for next year" in my head. :bh ... back to playing catch up!

Re: Falling Skies
 

I only was able to catch the second half, What did I miss?

Re: Falling Skies
 

Love the way this show is coming together. No spoilers but.... is there an alliance in the near future? ;)

Re: Falling Skies
 

I watched last season and am watching this season too. I echo the thought that it's Walking Dead with aliens. Not bad for a summer show.

Re: Falling Skies
 

Based on the previews for the next episode I am starting to get concerned that they are introducing too many different twists that don't help resolve the main plot line...

Re: Falling Skies
 

FINALLY got the DVDs from Netflx. 3 episodes in season 1 to go.

Re: Falling Skies
 

Loving how this season is panning out...:tu :tu

Re: Falling Skies
 

Damn fine episode last night...first one without mechs and skitters in a while. So...Charleston does exist. Was very cool the way they played that out. :tu :tu Season finale next week.

Re: Falling Skies
 

The storyline is really starting to come together. Great episode last night. Can't wait for the next one!

Re: Falling Skies
 

Agreed. A good show is one that does not rely upon thrill and action, but the strength and dynamics of the character arcs.

And we've got two more episodes left in the season :tu

Re: Falling Skies
 

I saw Pope in a episode of "Perception" last week, all clean shaven and short hair. Totally tripped me out. I kinda thought I reccognized him...then I heard his voice and gave the ol Ah Ha!!

Re: Falling Skies
 

Great season finale last night. :tu :tu

Re: Falling Skies
 

Good finale. Dai needs to rise from the dead, though. I liked his character.

Re: Falling Skies
 

X2

Re: Falling Skies
 

Any consensus as to whether the new aliens that arrive at the end of the show are going to be allies, or enemies? I'm thinking allies that have their own agenda, and will eventually become enemies! Just a wild arse guess on my part!!

Re: Falling Skies
 

I got the feeling that they will be allies. The alien didn't come out shooting, or making any hostile movements.

Re: Falling Skies
 

I think it's safe to say that the new aliens are enemies of the overlords. (hence the giant space cannon looking thing that was aimed skyward, at the incoming aliens).

But I think you got it right - the enemy of my enemy is my friend... at least until he becomes my enemy also. The new aliens didn't come "just to kill the overlords", because that would make for a very boring TV show. They have their own agenda and will most certainly become a problem, if not an outright enemy.

Damn, going to be a long wait for more.....

Re: Falling Skies
 

Apparently for all her medical knowledge Mason's lady-friend wasn't on the pill :D

Re: Falling Skies
 

lol, that would assume there's any pill left to take ;)

Re: Falling Skies
 

Anyone still watching? I've been hanging on.

Re: Falling Skies
 

Just started recently and got caught up.
Not liking this season as much as the first 2.

Re: Falling Skies
 

I watched it "real-time" up until this year. This time I figured I would do a "Catch-up" on Comcast at the end of the season.

How is it going for you so far Mac?
