The final battle begins as Falling Skies returns for its last season. As season five opens, all breed of beast and mutant are running rampant on earth, and humans are now ready to fight against the enemy. At the core of the story is Tom Mason, a bookish Boston professor who becomes a commander of a regiment of citizen soldiers. But his primary focus is the safety of his three sons, one of whom was taken captive by the aliens.
Tom's inner rage bubbling to the surface definitely brought a new kind of energy to the show. His no nonsense attitude is certainly refreshing even if it can be a bit scary at times.
Although Falling Skies is a pretty lean, mean, combat machine, with some first-rate visual-effects work, the producers have also incorporated plenty of soapy elements.
With the human death toll continuing to rise, even significant wins against the Espheni are coming at too high a price. It feels like an ever-increasing game of high-stakes chess, and there are only so many pawns left on the board.
I was underwhelmed by Falling Skies' return largely because I was so impressed by the Season 4 finale. It promised us a new world. I'm still waiting for my new world.
[The] alliances remain tenuous right up to the final moments. And while the hour has plenty of action, it doesn't forsake the romances it has spawned along the way.
