Falling Skies

Notice a trend in my posts? Falling from my bike ... falling rain attacking the homestead ... and now Falling Skies, a new sci-fi series on TNT.

The show features Stephen Spielberg as an advisor, and deals with the situation on Earth after an alien conquest. The plots are meant to balance the human interest within the human camp with the aliens themselves.

Much like "V", no one knows what the aliens, called Skitters because they dash about quickly on six legs, are up to. Currently, they are enslaving the younger set, much like video games have already done.

The show has garnered excellent reviews, runs on Sunday nights, and deserves some time to develop.
