TNT to Present First Two Seasons of "Falling Skies" During Build-Up to
Two-Hour Season 3 Premiere on June 9
Full-Season Marathons Slated for Memorial Day and June 1
As TNT prepares to launch the third season of Falling Skies,the
network will give viewers the chance to catch up on the riveting first
two seasons. Noah Wyle stars in the epic drama, which comes to TNT
from DreamWorks Television and executive producer Steven Spielberg.
On Monday, May 27, TNT will present a Memorial Day marathon of the
entire first season, beginning at 10 a.m. (ET/PT). The following
Saturday, June 1, TNT will roll out the entire second season,
beginning at 10 a.m. (ET/PT). Then on Saturday, June 8, the day before
the new season begins, TNT will present the backhalf of the second
season, beginning at 7 a.m. (ET/PT). A complete schedule for all three
marathons is included below.
The war against an occupying alien force will enter a volatile new
phase when Falling Skies returns for its third season with a two-hour
television event Sunday, June 9, beginning at 9 p.m. (ET/PT). The
top-rated summer drama will then settle into its regular timeslot
Sundays at 10 p.m. (ET/PT).
In addition to Wyle, Falling Skies stars Moon Bloodgood, Will Patton,
Drew Roy, Connor Jessup, Maxim Knight, Seychelle Gabriel, Mpho
Koaho,Colin Cunningham and Sarah Carter. As the new season of Falling
Skies opens, seven months have passed since the survivors of the
2ndMass reached Charleston, which has been named capital of the New
United States. The government has formed a tenuous alliance with a
band of rebel skitters, but the alliance may not be enough to
overpower the enemy Espheni, whose forces are now being led by an even
more sinister overlord. To complicate matters further, another race of
aliens has just entered the battlefield. Among the guest stars set to
appear this season on Falling Skies are Doug Jones,Gloria Reuben,
Robert Sean Leonard, Stephen Collins and Terry O'Quinn.
Falling Skies debuted on TNT in summer 2011 and ranked as basic
cable's #1 new series of the year. The show returned last summer,
garnering 5.6 million viewers and ranking as basic cable's #1 summer
drama with adults 25-54 (3 million).
Falling Skies is produced for TNT by DreamWorks Television. Steven
Spielberg and DreamWorks Television heads Justin Falvey and Darryl
Frank serve as executive producers, along with Remi Aubuchon and Greg
Beeman.

Seriously, it's such an annoying series. The soap opera aspects
take such precedence. We have space aliens who have invaded and
pretty much destroyed human civilization on the planet. And these
space aliens continue to harvest children and kill people. And now
there's another species of alien.
So the invasion by space aliens isn't enough, the different aspects
of how all of humanity could be exterminated isn't enough, the
drama the producers really want to invest in is who will kiss whom,
who knocked whom up, will personal revelations from before the
world ended be too much for the character being told that his
girlfriend used to be a bad girl by standards that must have gone
away with the rest of the world. Feh!
And they'll continue to have awful continuity gaps, like Dr.
Carter, I mean Prof. Tom Mason being very particular about picking
up a shotgun and then walking away with a Kalashnikov. And they
just have loads of ammunition for every different kind of firearm
that they carry, and they carry all sorts of guns. Really, there is
a good reason why you issue your troops uniform weapons and that
really good reason is that they can all use the same ammo.
I'll probably watch it, but I'll continue to be annoyed at how they
rip off other science fiction TV shows and movies and about how the
people writing this series at least appear to have no military
experience at all, while setting the series in a military
environment. Maybe that's why the soap opera aspects of the series
predominate.

They're just here for the good eats. They like ribs. Our ribs.
