I really wanted to like this, because I am a fan of Katee Sackhoff. But this Netflix show somehow got a season 2 renewal and I am scratching my head wondering why.
Last night Falling Skies returned on TNT and didn't waste anytime jumping back into action. When we were left last season, the overlord was killed and a new alien visitor showed up. We were wondering, are they friend or foe? Well for the time being they are friend, and they've definitely done some help with technology, if not for man power.
A few years ago, when Star Trek was rebooted with JJ Abrams at the helm, I was very cautious. I worried that they wouldn't do the series justice with a new, younger cast. My fears were quickly calmed after watching the first Star Trek movie with Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, etc. Now, after watching Star Trek Into Darkness, I am thoroughly impressed with what they have done.
Last year Falling Skies came out and I loved it. The first season ended with a cliffhanger, it came back with a bang, but now a few episodes into season 2 and I'm starting to slip away. After last night's episode "Homecoming," I really hope there is more action next week. It's something that this show has always and will always need more of.
Falling Skies is coming back to TNT 1 month from today. It seems like it's been gone forever, but it looks like it will start things off with a bang in it's 2 hour season premiere on June 17th.
