Great season finale to cap off a really good season 2...can't wait to see what season 3 has in store.

Two great cliffhangers to end it.....

I can't wait until Noah Wyle jams his AK up the blonde bitch's box and unloads a clip.

I thought the show got really, really good this season. Last year it was kind of a throwaway "I'll watch it because there's no other science fiction on TV" program for me, but this year I thought virtually everything about it was better, from the storyline to the production, to the quality of guest actors, to just the overall show itself. It became the kind of show that I didn't want to miss, and I'm greatly looking forward to season 3.

Although I will make one caveat. I actually thought the very end of the episode was a little too much like the end of season 1. But it's a small nitpick.

Yes.

It's like they read our little thread and decided to make a good show.

Robert Sean Leonard is hanging up his white coat for a scientist coat -- which we guess would still be white -- as he takes on a short-term recurring role on 'Falling Skies.'

Robert Sean Leonard spent eight years as Dr. James Wilson trying to keep the sanity of "House's" title character together. Now he will have to work to keep his own sanity intact in an upcoming mini-arc for TNT's "Falling Skies."

Leonard will play Roger Kadar, a scientist who lives underneath Charleston (where humans have gathered as a refuge in the second season) where he runs the power grid and has an assortment of pet rats.

This is the first post-"House" role for Leonard, who appeared in "The Outer Limits" in 2000. He will not be the only former television doctor (well, physician assistant) making his way to the series. Gloria Reuben, who co-starred with Noah Wyle in NBC's "ER," also is set to make an appearance as well.

Leonard is set for a five-episode arc, but will likely not stick around after that. Leonard is looking for a new series to be a part of, and he'll be looking at potential pilots while filming his "Falling Skies" episodes.

Reuben, who played HIV-positive Jeanie Boulet in "ER," will work closely with Wyle as an assistant to his character, Tom Mason, according to Deadline.com. This is the first time Reuben will work on a TNT series since "Raising the Bar" in 2009. It's also her first genre credit since 1994's "Time Cop" with Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Reuben was nominated for Emmys in 1997 and 1998 for "ER," losing to "NYPD Blue's" Kim Delaney in 1997 and Camryn Manheim from "The Practice" in 1998.

"Falling Skies," which was recently nominated for an Emmy of its own for special effects, was picked up for a third season by TNT in July, and is expected to return next summer. It stars Wyle, Moon Bloodgood, Colin Cunningham and Will Patton.

Season 2, especially late in the season, was a lot better than Season 1.

keg in kc · 07-02-2013, 07:40 PM

Hmm, no talk about this season. Like it so far.

Season 4 is now official for 2014, 10 eps.

jiveturkey · 07-03-2013, 07:34 AM

This show has improved dramatically over the first season. There's still some wackiness but it's now a show that I look forward to every week.

blaise · 07-03-2013, 08:58 AM

It's good. The things I can't stand are:
The youngest son - I have no idea why they think they need that kid in so many scenes.
The oldest son and his girlfriend having discussions. Just boring, you could fast forward through the whole conversation and miss nothing.
And the general kitsch. The President's speech was just so corny, I thought, and then the chorus of children- blech.
And often I feel like a scene starts and it's like, "Ok, here's ___ and ____ bonding scene. Cue the sappy music. Maybe we should do it on a hospital bed."

But I do like it as a whole. It seems like they have a plan for where they want to go.

frankotank · 07-03-2013, 09:02 AM

I almost gave up on this show. but this season has been better.
Noah is a really good actor.
but some of the story lines are just......I mean.....

Spoiler!

ShowtimeSBMVP · 07-22-2013, 04:56 PM

Good one last night.

**notorious** · 07-25-2013, 10:39 PM

This has been a great season.

Less family moments, more conflict.

frankotank · 07-30-2013, 12:55 PM

man I just watch too damn many shows......
somebody tell me this cause I can't remember exactly...and I didn't want to go rewatch the episode in question.

Spoiler!

Karen showed Tom a couple of bodies in a pod. It's inconclusive IMO and killing the kid would be dumb because there's a lot of potential with it being some type of half breed. When they first showed us signs of the kids ability I figured that it would play a big role in future story lines.
