wondering what y'all thing of the show

S1 was interesting, and showed SOME promise. S2 was acceptable, and an OK follow up. S3 is painful.

It has become nothing but a sugar-filled dessert that just doesn't hit the spot. The writing is not edgy or cause any excitement. Everything is about the kids and a single family doing everything and getting treated differently from everyone else. Pope and weaver had a debate in Popes bar, and all the patrons made the obligatory mumble-grumbles at all the right moments like the good extra-lemmings they were. Lazy writing.

I will keep it on my DVR through this season, but I will seriously consider treating it like Revolution after the S3 finale (giving up on it) if it does not turn things around and act like a cable-show instead a cheesy network neutered show.

I do agree with you that falling skies season 3 is nowhere it was season one... But i dont give up on shows... its my problem... But i dont think it is that bad, it is a little annoying that the group has gotten to charlotte(season 2) but still only talks about the original group...

 

[calsnowskier]

Oh, I rarely give up on shows either. That is why the shows that I do give up on have to be bad.

A few shows I have removed from DVR over the last couple years...

Revolution
Shit my dad says
Dice (his reality show)
Swingtown
Teen Wolf

There have been others, but not many.

 

[calsnowskier]

Is it time to remove this garbage from my DVR?

Seriously, do they even have a writing team on this show anymore?

 

[douggie]

That show suddenly without warning started to suck like Axl Rose's voice.

 

[MarkOU]

So what's happening now?

Last I seen the Old President was alive but another President had been elected and the slave aliens were helping the humans and the friendly alien went with the old President and the new President crashed his plane and yeah. Wtf is going on?

new season has started out stinking up the joint. Damn shame because season 3 was probably their best effort by far and had me re-interested in the show.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Is the show any good at all? Looked interesting, haven't watched it. Was curious if it's worth a download.

 

[calsnowskier]

I liked S1. S2 was OK. S3 was a shitshow. So far, S4 is unwatchable.

The storyline is so far out in left field right now, it really is hard to believe they actually have a writing team.

I will likely keep with it, but only because I get addicted and can't let go of a show I have watched for more than 1 season.

Gawd, I hope they cancel it...

I was only able to catch a couple episodes of season 3 so can't say too much about it. I thought seasons 1 and 2 weren't bad. Watched the first episode of this season and not quite sure what to think yet. Still have this past episode on my DVR that I need to watch.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

The writing is so bad, your IQ will drop if you watch this show.

Sad to see this show end

It is about time. I have not been able to remove it from my DVR (Hi, my name is calsnowskier, and I am an addict), but is a complete waste of time.

This last episode was painful.

1) they immediately know that Lexi is a fake. They have always given the Masons EVERY benefit of the doubt, and of course, they have always been right to do so. The one time they immediately change this trend, they are right.

2) why have a gate at the base at all? They open it completely and expose everyone to whatever danger may exist anyway.

3) a beer maker is able to re-engineer an alien bio-weapon in a matter of days to make it safe for humans?

4) Pope dies like that? That whole battle was cringe-worthy.

Wait, so taking cover behind 100 explosive barrels was a bad idea?

something tells me that he isn't dead

something tells me that he isn't dead

That would be even worse.

Not digging through the rubble to confirm his demise would be another act of incompetence from a military unit that, while ragtag, still has the structure and origins of the actual military.

True that

On the other hand, I really don't watch that much TV with the expectation of realism so not too concerned that obvious things are being missed on a weekly basis.

I think he is. I don't think the writers wanted to cram another thing into the finale to try to explain.

I've really hated this season. They have had a whole bunch of filler when they could have been wrapping stuff up.

Good point. There is only 1 episode left. There really just isnt time to bring in ANOTHER Pope side-story.
