Falling SkiesDoes anyone else watch this? I just finished the first season. It's soooo good, especially towards the end of the season. The aliens look so badass & menacing it's great! Wasn't expecting the ending either, which is always nice.
Pretty glad there's still some good sci fi on TV after all the cancellations recently (SGU, The Event to name two). I mean it does have a lot of problems, the acting is bad in places, the plot rather unbelievable (especially that missile in ep 10), and overall too emotional. But it's a nice show to sit down & watch.Last edited by Ewan; 21-08-2011 at 16:46. -

Re: Falling SkiesI've only seen a couple of episodes but the way it's shot is a big turn off, it's a grizzly and blurry
A reckon it could have been a really good show but for me theres too many kids running around.......actually i'm with the aliens take em!, we might get some bloody quite for once and some decent acting a might add

Re: Falling SkiesI thought the first season was really good, I just hope it gets enough ratings to stay on for a good few seasons.
Tell me about it! There's hardly any good Sci-Fi on TV any more.(Original post by znh)

Re: Falling SkiesI sound like a selfish kid but it is not fair! Especially with terrible shows that are on season after season yet sci-fi shows are always getting cancelled!(Original post by explicit4u)

Re: Falling Skiesooo il have to watch out for this - personally i thought the first season was mostly awfull, right up untill the end...
far to cheesy, overly religous at times etc... --- but that kinda made it my guilty pleasure, and i ended up quite enjoying it... -

What a shame the show got canceled. I liked both this and Terra Nova.

Re: Falling SkiesI don't think it's started here yet but it's on episode 3 in America. It's available on various torrent websites.(Original post by wanderlust.xx)
OMG it hasn't been cancelled! Woo!
Geez I really regret deleting the first season off my computer now. Need to find the channel now... what channel is it being broadcast on here in the UK?
It's normally broadcast on FX.Last edited by whyumadtho; 26-06-2012 at 20:59. -

Re: Falling SkiesThe shows okay, don't exactly watch it for the acting or writing, it passes the time well enough.
I always thought Hal was a likeable character but I was just going through the IMDB message boards and everyone seems to hate him
They move around too much as well. -

Re: Falling SkiesSorry to bump an old thread, but I just finished watching the second season finale. It's actually gotten a lot better this season. Less emphasis on kids being harnessed and with some added crazy **** - rebel skitters, a new US capital, the fish heads actually being important. And Ben just became a badass overnight. Can't wait for the third season.

Re: Falling SkiesJust finished season 2. I really hope Revolution turns out to be decent because I am craving a decent post-apocalyptic type show. This show has potential but the writing is so bad and is letting the show down. The show is way too family friendly which leads to some cringe dialogue between the characters as well.
Spoiler:ShowI can't believe we're going to have another season where one of the main storyline will end up being whether a Mason can be trusted or not, this will be 3/4 now. And have you ever watched a show were you feel absolutely no connection to any of the characters that die so that when they finally do die, you don't really care? I read somewhere that there will be a major death in the finale but I genuinely can't tell whether that was meant to be the red eyed skitter or Dai, and either way I didn't really care. For a show that spends nearly all it's time trying to develop characters and relationships it does a pretty piss poor job of it.
