Falling Skies tells the story of the aftermath of a global invasion by extraterrestrials (including the insectoid multi-legged beings known as "skitters," a race of humanoid gray-skinned beings that seem to be their commanders, and mechanical attack drones called "mechs") that neutralizes the world's power grid and technology, destroys the combined militaries of all the world's countries, and apparently kills over 90% of the human population, all within a few days. The invasion and the aliens' objectives are not explained, though the aliens try to round up children between the ages of 8 and 16 and attach a biomechanical obedience device onto (and into) their spines, referred to as a "harness." The harness controls the child's mind, and forcibly removing it instantly kills the child. The story picks up six months after the invasion and follows a group of survivors who band together to fight back. The group, known as the Second Massachusetts (an allusion to a historical regiment from the Continental Army), is led by retired Captain Weaver and Boston University history professor Tom Mason who, while in search of his son Ben, must put his extensive knowledge of military history into practice as one of the leaders of the resistance movement.

Finale was cool. The whole episode was a huge set up for the final moments in the episode, but that's okay because it was still entertaining. I felt afraid for a lot of the characters. I thought we'd have more fatalities than we did. But I'm not complaining. Ally or Enemy? Total ally. Come on. Look at it's face. Adorable. lol jks But yeah, it's a friend, I bet. I'm probably like, the only person on this forum that watches this show. *Cries* It's okay. I'll have conversations with myself when it comes back next year for season three.
