I received my copy of the Falling Skies Press Kit today along with many others it appears from the twitterverse. I have enclosed eight photos below detailing what was the press kit.
First of all, the bag that contain the other materials is awesome. The tag on the bag that can be seen in image two and three belows has the message "IF YOU HAD TO START OVER, WHAT WOULD YOU BRING?" with the Falling Skies and TNT logo on the reverse.
Inside of the bag, I discovered several goodies. First, there was a letter giving me some instruction about not revealing spoilers in my coverage of the show, due to it's mysterious nature. Also there was small booklet containing, 11 definitions of keywords from the show and a large number of character bios for 18 characters.
Next is the really fun part, a DVD case pictured below containing the two hour season premiere and a second disc containing what essentially would be episode 2 (or 3 if they later break the pilot into two parts for repeats or on the later DVD/Blu Ray releases), and a press release about the Two-Hour Premiere on June 19 at 9/8c.
The last thing inside the bag was something that at first glance just looked like packaging to protect the DVDs during shipment. The DVD case was wrapped in a piece of newspaper. A very special newspaper, from the Boston News that features the headline "WE ARE NOT ALONE." I think this was an awesome little extra for the press kit.
I have not watched the episodes yet. I received this package a few hours ago and later tonight I am excited to be able to check out the show! I will post some non-spoilery thoughts here soon as well as have them included in an upcoming podcast. I have not had a new episode of the Falling SkiesCast since January, but one will be available soon discussing the press kit and viewing the show!
