Falling Skies

Majestic · 23-Jun-2011, 19:44

Out now at the usual sources.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1462059/

I'll report back once I've watched it but hopefully should be good! Anyone else seen it yet?

Rainy · 23-Jun-2011, 19:54

I watched it last night but I really couldn't get into it. Nothing seemed bad just all very cliche. Was expecting something a little darker but it's all very tame.

I'll give it another few episodes and see if it evolves into something worthwhile.

Inertiaman · 23-Jun-2011, 20:40

Cack.

Inertiaman · 28-Jun-2011, 13:02

Watched ep 3 in case it was less cack. Ended up downgrading it from cack to retarded.

Scorpius · 28-Jun-2011, 13:24

yea, saw the 1st two. Seems very souless for a show about families and humanity

Bleh · 28-Jun-2011, 13:41

I watched the first ep which turned out to actually be the first 2 eps. Not the greatest sci-fi series on atm, but then we dont really have a huge to choose from either

Watching ep3 tonight.

jackthezipper · 28-Jun-2011, 14:15

Who needs sci-fi. Breaking Bad starts a week on monday.

Scrobbs · 28-Jun-2011, 14:17

Isn't there another SciFi series supposed to be starting soon.

Re: Breaking Bad - that's great news!

Now, tell me about MadMen.

Breaking bad is great, but i like to get my geek on

Scorpius · 28-Jun-2011, 14:22

Terra nova, meant to be on soon. Futurama has returned for new season.
Walking dead reurns in the autumn and Torchwoods back in july.

Socrates · 28-Jun-2011, 15:07

its got moon bloodgood, series gets cancelled after first season fact

Bleh · 09-Aug-2011, 08:48

Anyone still watching this? I watched ep10 last night. It's actually improving and developing some half decent characters and plot.

Q-Target · 09-Aug-2011, 08:53

Watching it. Enjoying it. Waiting for the plot to move forwards.

Bleh · 09-Aug-2011, 09:05

I've not been left with the same level of suspense at the end of a series since BSG tbh.

Q-Target · 09-Aug-2011, 09:14

I'm watching it as it appears on FX or whatever channel it's on.

DizMatt · 09-Aug-2011, 11:34

interesting, will give this a watch as I love a bit of gritty sci fi

Bleh · 09-Aug-2011, 11:36

Be aware dude, the first 2 episodes are a little weak... it does get more interesting tho.

Inertiaman · 09-Aug-2011, 11:47

Good to know - I stopped watching that. Will grab a handful.

DizMatt · 09-Aug-2011, 12:06

right, tbh I watched the first ep of firefly and gave up for 9 months, then got hooked much later
now...I'd audition to be a door on that series if it helped make more episodes

DizMatt · 09-Aug-2011, 14:52

watched one of these this morning.
quite liked it.
decent production and casting
basic story so far but lots of potential and the effects enhance the story instead of letting it down or just being a showcase

burundi · 09-Aug-2011, 16:23

God it's slow, a lot of waffle and not enough action. watched the last three ep's in about 45 mins, kept forwarding through the waffle to anything interesting. Got the gist just fine.

Bleh · 09-Aug-2011, 16:43

If you're looking for continuous violence then you will probably only find it in a single episode tbh.

and people complain that there is a lack of character development, dialogue and plot in the movies/series we watch today....it's all semi brainless violence...and this is why

skyline is for you I think fella

DizMatt · 11-Aug-2011, 10:14

looks like it did really well
nice to see some SciFi hitting the spot

maybe this is where V went wrong, although I was enjoying that too tbh

http://screenrant.com/falling-skies-...-mcrid-127301/

just finished it ....good cliff hanger. next summer is when the new season is aired...BAH!

however, did anyone have a flashback to when they were a kiddie????

ROFL!!!!

Spoiler: highlight to read

you tube flash back!!!!

jimbobaggies · 26-Aug-2011, 19:44

Just finished watching season 1. Definitely got a whole lot better in the last 4 or 5 episodes.

DizMatt · 12-Jun-2012, 19:29

Kenny · 12-Jun-2012, 19:38
