Awesome! I'm into this show

This was on UK TV on the FX channel during the premiere of Falling Skies, I think perhaps it was made by the channel to raise hype for the new season despite there not being any footage available. So kind of not fan made but also not really anything to do with the actual show.

The gulf in quality between the excellent pilot and the rest of the episodes was a little strange. If every episode packed the punch of that pilot, it would already be one of my favorite series ever, but now I'm fairly skeptical of what's to come.

It reminds me of The Black Donnelly's. The pilot was written & directed by Paul Haggis and was incredible, and although the rest of the season was okay it was a steep drop in quality from the initial episode.

a) Props for the Black Donnelly's name drop. I loved that show. Crazy awesome pilot, but there was no way to follow that up with an entire series at that quality. I still thought the rest of the season was great, and ended well.

b) After a couple episodes, The Walking Dead lost all steam for me. It all felt so rushed. Just awful character development, especially between the old guy and the blond who's sister dies. They have like one scene together, then all of a sudden he loves her like a daughter or whatever. Awful, awful stuff. I know enough people that like the show that I'll have to keep watching, so I really hope season two has way better writing.

This series is amazing, although I'm less excited by the trailer.
