There are interesting tendrils sticking out of this pudding, and if there was a way to keep Scott the Teen Wolf out of Teen Wolf, it might be even better than that... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)
A new baddie promises some interesting twists and nifty changes, but let's hope the played-out characters get shifted off screen... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)
No matter how advanced the technology or how ugly the aliens, Falling Skies keeps reminding me of pioneer Westerns, and what counts, every time, is not who has the better weapons, but who has the smarter strategy.... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)
A slow-moving story where the most interesting characters are not the main characters. There's hope for the series, but not a lot... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

The third episode of the new Steven Spielberg series, Falling Skies, is a textbook example of good story pacing... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)
From a smart, sassy, self-aware teen drama to a clumsy, uneven comedy in one week. I don't expect every episode to be a home run, but this one was a real letdown... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)
Is it just the dichotomy between British and American sensibilities, or have they truly come up with a drab pioneering sf story and made the good guy into the villain? (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

Some oversights rectified, some admirable characters (though perhaps not those we expected at the outset), and a pretty damn good episode, written by the series creator himself... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)
I need a hero. Once again, it's looking like HBO is blowing a big budget on pretty scenery, and leaving out the truly exciting elements that would keep us watching. And a cast of damaged people doesn't provide anyone for the audience to root for... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)
There may not be much love in this show, but there's more crazy than in Arkham Asylum on a full moon. And this week, we get a really neat execution... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)
Too much boring political intrigue, too much repulsive sex, and not nearly enough magic, but at least a hint of dragons this episode... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)
