While the sense of escalation is reasonably contagious, the push to the finale would feel better if it were worth investing in any of Skies' army of limp, interchangeable characters. Read full review

Based on the first few hours, then, it would be premature to suggest the sky is falling. But as the producers labor to manage and advance all the show’s moving parts, they appear to have lost a couple of battles. Read full review

Good show with a deeper plot than one would expect in a science fiction type program. The roles of the actors have been well developed within reason and the plot of the show. The last season was weaker for plot and the writing overall but this could become a cult classic and a real winner ifGood show with a deeper plot than one would expect in a science fiction type program.

I do think that they could have better the season so it wasn't a roller coaster of ups and downs, however they left themselves enough room to work with to end on a high note with the final season approaching.… Expand

This show has progressively decayed into the realm of absolutely stupid and braindead. The amount of cliche and downright cheesy in the progression of this "plot" (and i use that term loosely) is enough to bring some to tears with outright laughter.

If you're ready for another season ofThis show has progressively decayed into the realm of absolutely stupid and braindead. The amount of cliche and downright cheesy in the progression of this "plot" (and i use that term loosely) is enough to bring some to tears with outright laughter.

If you're ready for another season of a handful of people spearheading the defense of earth against invaders from space, well..... I suppose this might be the show for you.

Makes me wonder what the rest of the world is doing during all of this though. Are these handful of people all that remains of the human race? If that is supposed to be implied, then that certainly increases Falling Skies' comedy factor by a hefty margin.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This season is trash. I greatly enjoyed 1-3. I can barely slog through this one. Each episode has so many garbage things happen. I actually thought they'd breath some life into it with Saturday Night Massacre, but the only people who died were extras. Except Tector, the amazing sniper who can't make an easy shot at short distance because that guy must be useful to the plot later. They should rename the show The Uhhhh-mazin' Adventures of the Unkillable Masons. It's just so predictable. Oh no Maggies in trouble she might die, oh wait Hal's in trouble he might die, oh boy oh boy Tom's heading into certain death. Oh wait no none of them can die, so just wait to the end to see the amazingly unconvincing way they don't die. WD - Carl messes up and Rick lets him know it. FS - Matt lets the girl who is (obviously) carrying the whistle loose and Tom's just like no big deal man, you love her. It doesn't matter that we lost the weapons cache or that we almost died (yet again), that Anne ran in front of a guy firing a fully automatic weapon trained right on where she ran from. Because we're the Masons, we can't die. Garbage.… Expand

Thank God the season is over. One of the worst seasons of TV ever. If you thought seasons 1-3 were bad, just wait to see how bad season 4 becomes. This show is a complete joke.

If you thought seasons 1-3 were bad, just wait to see how bad season 4 becomes. This show is a complete joke. By the way, i only watch to criticize and see how bad it becomes. The season premiere was one of the worst premieres and episodes ever coming to see the light of day. First, they had to use concentration camps. Seriously, they had to incorporate that. Also Anne is a bad-ass all of a sudden. She's been a complete **** in the show and now she kicks ass' Oh okay, that makes complete sense. Tom and some other characters are kidnapped again. I swear, Tom loves to get kidnapped. The season is a stupid bore fest with some of the stupidest characters on TV. Also none of the main cast is ever in any real danger because they just kill off minor and useless characters. It's funny that they think these deaths mean anything. Everyone knows a Mason can't die in the show. There's always a BS way they get out alive. There is no character development in the show period and the writing is completed by a 3rd grader. I have no idea what they're thinking when they are writing this @#$^. To me it sounds, what bs can we add into the show now. The second part of the season finale was fine, but only the Tom and Lexi moon story line was meaningful to the show. The other story line provided no real danger for the characters. Thank God season 5 is the final season.… Expand
