A topic to discuss the new TNT summer series, Falling Skies. The series is set in the near future after a mysterious alien invasion has destroyed over half the life on Earth, and only few pockets of civilization are left. The 22nd Mass. is a small resistance and the center of the plot. Tom Mason, a history professor and now Second In Command, is the main character, and is seen helping watch over his two sons, Hal and Matt, while protecting the remainder of the survivors and finding a way to destroy the aliens. Tom also searches for his missing son, Ben. There have only been two episodes so far in Falling Skies.
