Being a ham, I got a kick out of the spoiler "easter eggs" they'd send in Morse code at the start of every episode.SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-79308180355994357112011-08-13T16:19:46.777-04:002011-08-13T16:19:46.777-04:00Falling Skies also has Spielberg behind the projec...Falling Skies also has Spielberg behind the project, something V and Jericho didn't have; a big name to keep it afloat if it wasn't successful right off the bat.<br /><br />Heavens I miss Jericho. It was really getting good when they canceled it. Although, it did make me giggle to see fat characters staying fat during lean times and hard labor. <br /><br />-KreshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-31771620147940465912011-07-30T10:30:51.434-04:002011-07-30T10:30:51.434-04:00It's too late for me!

The plot is uncomplicated, and the characters are good and seem realistic. <br /><br />Two weeks ago, the doctor has a gun shoved in her face and antibiotics are stolen. She's bloodied and traumatized by the event. Soon, one of the girls who is regularly on patrol gives her a handgun. By the end of the show, she gets over her, "I don't like guns" attitude and shoots it. The actress really nailed the newbie shooter's smile! You could see the confidence grow in her. <br /><br />I'm pleased to see a show where the good guys are armed all the time, and the guns are viewed as their best chance against the overpowering bad guys.SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-34360274857610404742011-07-29T13:28:00.958-04:002011-07-29T13:28:00.958-04:00FS is on late enough it's not supposed to be a...FS is on late enough it's not supposed to be a kids show, but kids like it. The big plus for it is the uncomplicated plot.GardenSERFhttp://gardenserf.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
