I guess Season 4 premiers on the 22nd, but the first episode is fully available on iTunes and Amazon for free. I just watched it and it's pretty terrible and I don't remember enough about the first seasons to make an effort post and I don't have archives so maybe someone else can copy/paste it here. But hey, everybody loved to hate watch it (including me). Discuss.

Falling skies is pretty terrible but I guess thats the charm. Grand resistance strategy that the entire show has been building to is to float a raft of cargo containers with a big gun on it across a lake to blow up the aliens tower. This all goes perfectly according to plan and is pulled off.

Also I like the part where the main character beats Pope to an inch of his life over mostly trivial bullshit, reasonable choices that were made or stuff that can be explained if the main character were to stop punching him in the face for a few seconds. Pope is like 90% of the reason anyone watches the show IMO.

I stopped hate watching it and just watched it because I kinda liked it and it just became part of my summer TV thing. It's not great by any means but by no means as lovely as people make it out to be. Okay, perhaps people still make dumb decisions from time to time. I really can't tell you what happened last season though. Ummm, they blew up a thing? The baby is like super smart or something and they all left the Mall to go fight more aliens because the good guys just hate sitting around in one place? There was a coup as well? Maybe? All the Space French died? Something?

Space French took over and told the humans to go chill in some camps, they got this. The baby is a super being and maybe an alien or something and it ran away but they got it back after shooting the Space British mind controlled lady. Then I don't know what happened. They decided they wanted to keep fighting and the Space French finally let them go fight stuff I think. Its all a blur.

I'm a little fuzzy on the ending too. The new aliens were being dicks but maybe changed their minds? It looked like they basically won so I guess the new aliens will be the bad guys now. And yes this show is terrible but fun to watch and rip apart.

And apparently there's going to be a tie-in game which will probably be terrible too

i binged it recently for the new season and it's it's not so terrible. I prefer it to Defiance. Gotta say though this new episode was just weird. Weaver and Pope are the best. Also Ryan Robins adds class to any sci fi show.

What happened to the kid who got harnessed but they took it off but then he had super powers. Did the humans ever accept him back into their society?

I hope not because then it would make them accepting the gang rapist back into the group just because he was a good cook even funnier.

He's currently being wooed into the perfect society his supersized sister seems to have created. And he saw his brother's girlfriend naked in the shower. So there's that.

The sad thing is that this show isn't even the good kind of bad that remains watchable. It's actually a bit of an insult.

This show is a weird collection of abandoned and dropped plotlines. First there was harnessed kids but then there was a machine and it went away and nothing ever came of it. Then the evil aliens were gonna put humans in a reservation, except they forgot I guess. Then there was the real president and there was gonna be tension between this little settlement and the rest of the surviving government, except he exploded and the people living elsewhere ummm. Well they uhhh. Moving right along. Then the new friendly aliens were gonna put humans in a reservation again, except they changed their mind. I am looking forward to see how the Alien Jesus Baby plot is dropped.

At least the Space French were just going to temporarily relocate the humans to Earth Brazil, which is really not the worst place to chill while two alien races duke it out. I was shocked nobody suggested the compromise of safely getting anyone who wanted out of the combat zone there and letting those who wanted to be a part of the fight stay. That might be what they eventually agreed on, but like most others in this thread, I remember so little of last season.

Pretty good first episode, but then again S3 started off good and they poo poo all over that to be the worst season of all loving time, except for AHS 3. It is a new writing staff, so bring it on TNT.

I don't really agree that they dropped plotlines. I think people weren't paying attention. -The 'Space French' showed up to take down the bad invading aliens. They assisted the human resistance in Charleston while they built their weapon to take out the bad guys' shield over the planet. -Bad aliens blew up most of that weapon before it could be used, so they had to put the remains on a boat to take it straight to the enemy's HQ. -The 'Space French' revealed to the humans that the bad aliens were powering on a device that would not only prevent the good aliens from helping, but would also transform the planet and kill human life within 6 months or so. They used the alien cannon thing to take out the central tower and stop the device in the finale. -The Resistance got pissed because the Space French wanted them out of the way while they wiped out the bad guys, and the Professor wasn't having any of that. -Eventually the Space French reluctantly allowed the humans to fight against the bad aliens but for whatever reason are acting like they won't help them (which makes no sense). -The former girlfriend of one of the brothers turned enemy leader died pretty anti-climatically at the end of the last season. The one stupid plotline was everything involving the US President somehow being alive and then dying 5 minutes later.
