While the sense of escalation is reasonably contagious, the push to the finale would feel better if it were worth investing in any of Skies' army of limp, interchangeable characters.
Based on the first few hours, then, it would be premature to suggest the sky is falling. But as the producers labor to manage and advance all the show’s moving parts, they appear to have lost a couple of battles.
Good show with a deeper plot than one would expect in a science fiction type program. The roles of the actors have been well developed within reason and the plot of the show. The last season was weaker for plot and the writing overall but this could become a cult classic and a real winner if the actors are given a wonderful scrip.
Most of the acting is very good and engaging (albeit a slight bit over the top **** plot is pretty darn cool and the pace is balanced so what's the deal with the (highly exaggerated) negative responses?
I enjoyed season 4 alot and I ate the episodes up.
Highly recommended for Sci-fi lovers that also have interest in the human/psychological side.
The show and its characters finally take a step forward, making the characters seem more real and relatable instead of drier and inaccessible. While it's uncertain to know how much left the show has, it would be unfortunate to back away from what I would consider the best season of Falling Skies.
Remember that crappy season of Battlestar stuck on New Caprica? This has the same feel. Fallen Skies is at its best when humans fighting for survival against the invaders, linking up with other resistance groups, not this alien baby silliness..
Falling skies is a preview of post apocalyptic life under the thumb of Chairman-O but with much more entertaining, over the top, budget **** CGI

Season FOUR is possible series termination as the shift in focus is the alluded to other-other aliens from Season THREE albeit unseen.
Plot progresses with greater tedium and is more frustrating to intentionally watch
Well it beats watching reruns, but not by much. With little coherence between one episode and the next it's like this series was written by a different set of guest writers every week (who didn't talk to each other). The quality of the plots and scripts rank right there with an intern's summer project. Could have been so much more.
I remember telling people (during Falling Skies second season) that they need to watch this show. I would tell them it was like Walking Dead with aliens instead of zombies. Watching season 4, I hope no one I told actually picked up the show, because it is just awful. Nothing from season 4 connects with any of the previous seasons. Honestly, I am not even sure the new writers have even watched the show. A good example is the alien tech. In the first season, we see these harnesses that physically morph the kids into human slaves. In the second and third season we see these bugs that worm into your brain and take control of your mind. In the forth season, the aliens are trying to convert human children by making them go to a training camp. What!? It doesn't make sense. Another example is the fact that these aliens are merciless (except with the main character), but instead of killing everyone, they put them into a prison/slum. What is going on? Also, forget about the Volm, they have a quickly written plot to excuse them from the scene. Please make it stop... Oh wait, I can. Bye bye Falling Skies.
