SFFTV: Falling Skies — Another Monumental Disappointment
I’m done with TNT’s Falling Skies. This is the second science fiction TV show they’ve produced that I’ve given up on and I’m starting to see a trend. The first was The Walking Dead, which suffered from many of the same issues that make Falling Skies such a weak piece of science fiction. Namely, the moronic use of the generic/subgeneric conventions (for The Walking Dead, post-apocalyptic zombie survival; for Falling Skies, post-alien-invasion post-apocalypse survival). But if failing to use the clichés of the genre effectively weren’t bad enough, perhaps the series’ blatant political agenda and its wishy washy handling of normally interesting and relevant subjects (to Americans) kills the show for good. Falling Skies, essentially, is about how conservative America—in the current conception of that ideal—can save mankind

Why? Because our listeners chose Batman & Robin in our Torture Cinema poll and forced us to watch it. Thanks a lot, jerks! The good news is I’ve “hidden” Arnold Schwarzenegger in the episode, which should bring you all some joy while we die of asphyxiation. The other good news is that next week is all about our special edition episode of the show! It won’t be live, unfortunately. Technology seems to hate us. But it will be filled with our friends: Jason Sanford, John Ottinger, Adam, and your lovely host regulars! Tune in and enjoy!
