Saw a trailer for Falling Skies tonight during Southland. Looked pretty good, some recognizable cast members, but maybe dangerously close to being V. LOL

The trailer we saw tonight had more cgi and action, but I don't see it on youtube yet. This one is from a month ago.
Keep your fingers crossed that it will be good.




edit: this looks a little like the one tonight, but seems shorter.

I truly hope it will be good, unfortunately we have been let down by quiet a few shows.

I am starting see more adverts for this series.

~4 weeks to go to the show premiere. Has anyone heard advance word on this show? good? bad? fair? The adverts and vids above look good!

Well, the executive producer behind it is Spielberg and he's had a very good track record with tv shows that he's been involved with so far. I will definitely watch the 2 hour pilot. Oh, and I noticed Mark Verheiden is a co-executive producer as well. He was one of the top writers for the new BSG.

Looks great.

What the new V should have been, perhaps.

The premise reminds me a little of the classic BBC series The Tripods (which I loved - also a youth-focused survival-in-a-world-where-the-aliens-are-already-here story).

Interesting that Disney picked up the rights to The Tripods, movie-wise - rumored to be a film planned.

I'm nervous. This is looking too good. I'm still afraid it may turn out to be another V. I want something more along the lines of a sci fi "The Walking Dead" type treatment.
We find out tomorrow night!

Addendum to my post above, couldn't let that reference pass without posting a video.

Oh, how I loved the eighties.

I really enjoyed it. I saw some disconnects but what the hell, still was enjoyable,
