[spoiler]98% of this episode was a load of soppy BS, baby shower and 'dad, dad is that you', slow scenes little action.

1% was a cool scene where to doc kills a skitter up close and personal, although they also killed any chance of surprise by basically telling you it would happen.

1% was the freaky actions of the skitter perched above it's harnessed children, looked kinda like it was an animal looking after it's young, new twist maybe it they invaded to make more of their race.[/spoiler]

Overall, I will try the next episode but if it continues to go the way it is I may give up on the series



Though it was kinda sappy drama ... I think it was a rather important episode.

[spoiler=]The aliens nursing them youngsters ??? like they were their children.
The one that killed the doctor, seemed to behave strange when the doctor was busy with the drugs.
The doctor mentioned a new sound while he was working just before he got killed.
How they now get killed :P gross, but still :P

And ofc the getting of more kids ....

all in all, visually not very appealing, but I think it adds to the story line.
I'm curious to the next episodes nonetheless.[/spoiler]

Re: Falling Skies

I was glad when this episode ended....i am giving the show two more episodes to get better or i am not bothering with wasting bandwith on it....The worse part is that the show got renewed for a second season after just 3-4 episodes...I would much rather have another season of SGU then this....unless they start to do something more then hang around a school and stop talking about there feelings...i want action and i want to see a army of Ed two O nines walking around shooting anything with the laser tag guns they have going on :smt043
On another note as anybody watched the new Torchwood and Alphas...Torchwood was great and i plan on watching the other show later on..

While I agree with what you say about Falling Skies, and Im very surprised they already commissioned a 2 season when so many better programs have been canceled and this one has not yet proved itself, I would say that SGU deserved to be canceled and I would shed no tears if Torchwood was canceled too, Cpt Cheesy and his band of stereotyped Welsh accents really annoy me.

Re: Falling Skies

They is only 2 episodes left of this season of this shown that as so much promise but the fact that they are suppose to be battling aliens but each week they stand around talking about their feelings :smt017
Also the women playing the piano when they are suppose to be hiding it's a :smt021 moment.
I am hoping in the last 2 episodes that they have at least a pretty big firefight or something else bar talking about each other and there feelings ](*,)

Also torchwood this season as been very good....different is the word I would use and it reminds me of 24...and 24 was the best show ever :-D hopefully they can carry it on..

24 was one of the best shows ever, best might be a push, top 10 for sure

I did watch this despite telling myself not to, some mad optimism took hold and made be believe it would improve. That was my first mistake, I agree on the piano thing, was my first thought too, the children being 'adopted' & transformed is confirmed but the rest was just blah blah blah, babies, lets not fight each other, blah, dull, asleep now.

My 2nd mistake was watching Torchwood, how can you compare it to 24 ???? Not even close, not even close to the same league, just.. just.. NO dont do that. The only thing remotely interesting was 'bigger on the inside' = Timelords, which although could be an excellent Dr Who tie in is in no way 24. Then the just walked on like 'bigger on the inside' has no meaning ???? If the child killer turned out to be a new incarnation of The Master and the Timelords making humans into unkillable soldiers for their timewar that would just maybe save this show from Cpt Cheesy.

Re: Falling Skies

I have just watched the last 2 episodes of this show and i have to say that it sucked....i was waiting for the action and nothing...[spoiler]they killed the one edd209 and i then the army of them came around the corner and i was thinking it's going to get good then it did not :smt017[/spoiler]
As for season two this is what going to happen [spoiler]instead of the dad saying he has to get his son back it's going to be the other way round..his son saying he has to find his father for the first 6 episodes of seaosn 2 and them talking about their feelings and other lame things..[/spoiler]
I was kind of hoping they would kill most of the cast off and have a reset for the next season but over 5 mil people watched the last 2 episodes so i doubt they will change anything....overall this show had so much promise but they talked to much and they was not enough action ](*,)

i miss 24 and stargate (any of them) :smt088

Re: Falling Skies

I liked Falling Skies. The graphics and story lines were just above average, not amazing but I found it really easy to get into the characters, get to know them and like them so by the end of the season it seemed happily common place for me to be watching Falling skies amongst bleach, supernatural, Stargate and breaking bad as if I had been all along.

It needs some improvement in some areas (really only the season finale was THAT epic and comparions of it with LOST S1 finale were accurate) but I can live with it. I think a second season is easily justified, it has good ratings and they're not trying to drown you with cliche's, mysteries and uber fights/graphics like other shows try. It's gritty and great and I look forward to it. Two seasons will give us a way better look at whether it's ultimately and actually ever going to be really good or not.

Yes, a second series has been commissioned, although unfortunately it won't be aired until the summer of 2012.
