TV News: TNT’s Hit Series #FALLINGSKIES Invades #ComicCon

For those of you who haven’t seen the show, please check out some of my reviews. This show has become a huge hit with audiences, so much so TNT has already renewed the series for a second season. While I have issues with the religious overtones and sometimes cheesy scenes, the overall show is quite entertaining. It’s action-packed as the humans try to regain their footing after an alien invasion wipes out all electrical devices (including fuel-injected vehicles) and destroys major cities including Washington, D.C. The cast is well rounded and there are moments of humor, both light and dark, mixed in for good measure. If you are going to Comic Con this year, go visit the Falling Skies panel.

TNT’s Falling Skies, which recently chalked up cable’s #1 series premiere of the year and was renewed for a second season, is returning to Comic-Con in a big way. Falling Skies, which comes to TNT from DreamWorks Television and executive producer Steven Spielberg, starring Noah Wyle, will have a multi-faceted presence at the annual gathering. Activities will include a panel discussion with stars Noah Wyle, Moon Bloodgood, and other members of the cast and production team, preview clips from upcoming episodes and an autograph session. In addition, TNT will give away a series of collectible pins. Attendees can pick up each pin in the five-pin Falling Skies set at specific locations throughout Comic-Con.

Falling Skies, which airs Sundays at 10 p.m. (ET/PT) on TNT, takes place in the chaotic aftermath of an alien attack that has left most of the world completely incapacitated. Tom Mason (Wyle), a Boston history professor and the father of three sons, must put his extensive knowledge of military history to the test as second in command of a regiment of resistance fighters protecting a large group of civilian survivors.

Dream chaser extraordinaire! Judy tends to be a tad sarcastic and kind of goofy! She is an avid admirer of all things supernatural, paranormal, celestial and mystical. She loves to read, write, and watches way too much TV. She enjoys many genres of film and music (and let's be honest, most music from the 80s). She also has a wicked sweet tooth. Cupcakes beware.
