Falling Skies a Game of Risk

During the initial invasion the "mother ships" brought millions of skitters to earth and they quickly killed 90% of the population. This is when some Falling Skies mythos that isn't touch on in the show all that often begins.

Those mother ships and skitters left the planet, presumably to conquer and enslave another world. This is part of the story that has only been mentioned a couple of times. This strategy of bringing a large force and destroying your enemies defenses and leaving a much smaller force to maintain control seems to be basic military strategy. It is also the strategy many use while playing the board game Risk.

These overlords or perhaps their rulers are playing an intergalactic game of domination. From what we've seen on earth, they play this game well.

The new species of alien may bring some Risk cards to the 2nd Mass and provide some much needed reinforcements. If not, the 2nd Mass and the rest of humanity may be wiped off the map.

The New Species of Extra-Terrestrial on Falling Skies

Season 2 of Falling Skies ended with the arrival of a new species of extra-terrestrial.  What will this mean for the ragged band of survivors in Charleston?  Has a new ally or a new enemy arrived?  The answer to that question is sure to shape the things to come for The 2nd Mass.

From the few seconds of screen time, this species reveals a space suit/body armor complete with helmet, that was reminiscent of Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe and maybe a little Batman.  Perhaps this alien is from a warrior species; whereas, the Espheni (aka Over Lord or Fish Heads) are slavers bent on conquering planets.

From the brief comments from Ben Mason in the season finale, it appears that the 2nd Mass destroyed a weapon intended to stop this alien from reaching earth.  The old adage says that an enemy of my enemy is a friend.  Perhaps, Tom, Weaver and the rest of the 2nd Mass can work with this warrior species of aliens to begin to reclaim earth.

Adding another group of ETs to Falling Skies will likely create more drama and expand the shows mythos into a larger universe.  Perhaps season three we will see many more revelations about the fish heads, the skitters and as well as this new species.

Falling Skies Season 3 Still Five Months Away

The long hiatus is not as long as it once was, but the first episode of Falling Skies Season 3 entitled "On Thin Ice" is still over five months away.  TNT premiered the first two seasons on Father's Day. This year Father's Day is June 16, 2013, which is currently 157 days away.

Principal photography of Falling Skies season 3 concluded back in December 2012.  The crew will probably spend the next several months of post-production for all of the SFX shots.
