June 2. 8, 2. 01. August 3. 0, 2. 01. Series overview[edit]Falling Skies begins six months after a global invasion by extraterrestrials, where in only days, the invaders neutralized the world's power grid and technology, defeated and largely destroyed all the world's militaries, and killed over 9.
The aliens include mechanical attack drones called "Mechs"; a species of light brown- skinned six- legged beings known as "Skitters" that appear to control the mechs; and a mysterious species known as the Overlords, or "Espheni", presumably the actual engineers of the invasion and the masters of the Skitters. The aliens' objectives are not explained until season 4.
They plan to extract helium- 3 from Earth's moon to power their technology, and to use humanity as an enslaved front- line army in their war with another alien race. To do this, the aliens round up children between the ages of 8 and 1. Forcibly removing it generally kills the child, but midway through season 1, a surgical method is developed that allows a harness to be safely removed, leaving in place the "spikes" that connected the harness to the spinal column. In Season 5, it is revealed through an Espheni communication device—which Ben can interact with by touching it, due to having the spikes—that there is a being superior to the Overlords, known as "the Queen". In the series finale, the Queen explains that the invasion about which the entire series is based upon is the result of a prior Espheni attempt to invade Earth, the only habitable planet in this galaxy and thus of immeasurable strategic importance. Her beloved daughter led that invasion, but the Espheni underestimated humanity and the invasion was stopped. The Queen's daughter was killed and the Queen swore to wipe out humanity in revenge.
The story follows a group of survivors who band together to fight back. They call themselves the Second Mass, an allusion to the historical regiment from the Continental Army. The group is led by retired United States Army Captain Dan Weaver. Boston University history professor Tom Mason is second in command and must put his extensive knowledge of military history into practice while searching for his son Ben.[3][4]At the end of season 2, a new alien race known as the Volm are introduced. Led by a Volm nicknamed Cochise by Tom Mason, the Volm are another species who the Espheni conquered in their galactic expansion, and who want to destroy the Espheni in revenge. While more Volm forces arrive at the end of season 3, an attack on the Volm across the galaxy causes all but Cochise and a small team of Volm to abandon the Earth. Cochise and his soldiers continue to aid humanity in their war with the Espheni despite the lack of support from their superiors, notably Cochise's father.
In season 4, a devastating Espheni counterattack relegates humanity to Espheni- controlled ghettos across the planet. Meanwhile, Tom's half- Espheni daughter Alexis continues to grow and develop psychic powers due to her heritage. After the 2nd Mass eventually escape the ghettos, another attack severely depletes their numbers. Learning of a power core on the Moon that controls all Espheni technology, Tom and Alexis launch an attack on the power core using a captured Espheni aircraft. Alexis sacrifices herself to destroy the power core and Tom is left lost in space, but the Espheni war machine is left crippled with the loss of their air support and mechanized servants. In season 5, Tom is rescued by the Espheni's ancient enemy, the Dornia, who guide him into finding his inner warrior to defeat the Espheni once and for all. Returned to Earth, Tom rallies humanity into a global resistance that will march on major Espheni bases all over the world.
Tom leads the militias in the United States in a march on the Espheni base in Washington, D. C. With the help of an Espheni communications device, humanity learns that the Espheni serve a previously- unknown queen who comes to planets when victory is assured and the Espheni are moving from invasion to occupation. Indeed, while in Washington, Tom spots signs of the Espheni moving in on Earth.
Tracking the queen to the ruins of the Lincoln Memorial, Tom confronts her alone and she informs him of the true reason for the invasion. Tom manages to infect the Espheni Queen with a Dornia bioweapon, killing her and spreading the bioweapon throughout the Espheni species. The Espheni are destroyed and the Earth is freed.

Cast and characters[edit]Main cast[edit]Recurring cast[edit]Production[edit]Conception[edit]Development officially began in 2. TNT announced that it had ordered a pilot for an untitled alien invasion project.[7]Falling Skies was created by Robert Rodat, who is best known for writing the Oscar- winning film Saving Private Ryan, which was directed by Steven Spielberg. Rodat wrote the pilot episode from an idea which was co- conceived by Spielberg.[8] Originally, Falling Skies was called Concord, referencing the battles of Lexington and Concord and Tom Mason's former profession as a history professor.[9] Spielberg then came up with the title Falling Skies. I felt that this was a very interesting postapocalyptic story with a 2.
I came up — out of the blue one day — with the name Falling Skies, which is basically what happens to the planet after this invasion. Watch Gone Too Far Download there. What is unique about this particular series is that the story starts after a successful conquest of the world," he stated.[9]Spielberg was attracted to the project due to its themes of survival.
I've always been interested in how we survive and how resourceful we are as Americans. How would the survivors feed the children? How do they resupply themselves militarily in order to defend and even take back what they have lost?" he added.[9] Like much of Spielberg's work, such as The Pacific and E. T. the Extra- Terrestrial, Falling Skies' running theme is family and brotherhood. He explained, "It's a theme I harken back to a lot because it's something I believe in. It's something I have the closest experience with. Laughs] They say write what you know, and with seven children and three sisters..
I tend to always come back to the family as a touchstone for audiences to get into these rather bizarre stories."[9]While writing the pilot, Rodat dedicated a five- page montage to the alien invasion, but decided not to go through with it as it had been done before in films such as War of the Worlds. I wrote a few drafts of it and I looked at and say, 'Ay- yay- yay, I’ve seen this before. There’s no emotion to this.
