Members Juliajms Posted June 4, 2011 Members Share Posted June 4, 2011 This show starts on June 19th. It kind of looks like V, except hopefully better. Here's a link to the preview: http://www.tnt.tv/dr...87324&oid=81643 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted June 5, 2011 Members Share Posted June 5, 2011 this might be interesting. I will take a look. They botched V in the casting I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted June 5, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 5, 2011 Yeah, the casting seemed off and it was too stylized, imo. Camelot doesn't have enough CGI, but "V" had too much computer crap going on. It didn't feel gritty enough. I think perhaps, "Falling Skies" will feel a little bit more realistic in that regard. The promo looks decent at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted June 5, 2011 Members Share Posted June 5, 2011 ' The first V was a lot of fun with earnest Marc Singer as the star. The new V for some reason decided the Marc Singer role wasn't needed and they made that wooden blonde woman from Lost the star. She was blah on Lost, I have no idea how she got to star in another show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricaKane70 Posted June 6, 2011 Members Share Posted June 6, 2011 V's problem is that I moved so damn slow. I love Elizabeth Mitchell and I think the writers are more to blame than she is. I also think it would of been better off on the Syfy channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted June 13, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 13, 2011 A review by Hollywood Reporter. They seem to like it a lot: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/falling-skies-tv-review-196959 I had no idea that SS is also behind Terra Nova, which is coming to Fox this fall. Guess he's been busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricaKane70 Posted June 20, 2011 Members Share Posted June 20, 2011 I give this show an A+. Its Lost meets Battlestar Galactica to me heres why: Lost: Taking the kids only, not knowing what the enemy wants, the isolation, and the random attacks on land. Battlestar Galactica(especially season 2.5): The resistance, the formed military and that military keeping the civilians safe, the robots roaming around taking people out, robots take over the land, and the whole father/son thing. I think this show has alot of promise, I was surprised that they didn't show us the attack, but I guess either they thought we saw it all before or that episode will air in the future. This is what I really want to know did the aliens create the robots or did the robots create the aliens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted June 20, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 20, 2011 I thought tonight was a promising start. The scene where the kid shared his skateboard and all the kids lined up to take turns was sweet. I'm glad the outlaw guy seems to be joining the resistance. He should spice things up.

Members wingwalker Posted June 20, 2011 Members Share Posted June 20, 2011 Wow, I loved the premiere. Off to a great start. I so needed a new sci-fi show after ABC canceled V. It's sort of a V meets Battlestar Galactica (another series I liked). Can't wait for the next episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricaKane70 Posted June 20, 2011 Members Share Posted June 20, 2011 Now if TNT were smart they would try to get Mary McDonnell to be on next season if its picked up. She is currently on TNT's the closer, but the show is ending after this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
