Hey guys ive just started watching this show and in my opinion its 1 of the best going at the minute ive watched every episode over the last 3 days because im hooked lol. But there is 1 thing bugging me...what the hell is that skitter with the red eye doing to ben mason? to me it looks as if it is either taking information from him or planting idea's in his head to basically make him a sleeper agent.

We started watching last season and it is a very good series. Really glad it's back. We just finished watching the season premier this weekend (had it recorded) and it looks like its going to be a good season. That little "bug thing" was really wild.

I too am wondering about that. I think Ben is a spy for them, unknowing, of course. I also think the show is a wake up call for the whole world. A full alien invasion is not that far fetched, you know.

Ya i also think hes the 1 who killed the kid they buried in the last episode nobody was watching and it was after the red eyed skitter did something screwed up to him so i think he might of smothered him.

Also I remember from the end of last season that the Skitters use to be something else. Maybe human???

My son and I enjoy watching the show together. But....We both have a few issues with a few things in the show, both technical, and character.

First, Think it could be a bit grittier, smearing dirt on face n clothes and roughing up hair Im not talkin about. I thinkin more like "the Road" grit. Hell, I think Walking Dead has a great ambiance, feel to it. Falling Skies kinda misses it for me.

Dialog is..eh..not bad, plot pretty good..but..man, that one guy, the leader of the "berzerkers"? Really? Such a joke that guy. "I know explosives". "I can cook awesome institutional food", "My hair is always fabulous lookin" Some characters are a bit one dimensional, he in particular.

How the hell (this is my technical gripe now) have these groups of survivors seriously evading being with superior tech? Driving around in beat up trucks, buses, and noisy dirt bikes? Think they would be underground in tunnels or something? Just doesn't seem like the aliens are trying too hard to get them.
Other than that some good enough action for me n the boy to veg out to.

Yeah, it seems that his character is a lot like Sawyer was on the series Lost but not quite as convincing.

Seems like a good tv show. I went on there TNT website and signed up thru my Verizon. But there is no Season 1 to watch!? Does anyone know where i can watch it? Or do i need to just wait?

10 episodes is too short! This series gets better each ep!

Falling Skies is an American science fiction dramatic television series created by Robert Rodat.It is Full of Action and Crime. Lourdes is my favorite Character in this TV show.
