A first bite at Falling Skies

Do you wonder what will happen when aliens invade the Earth? You then have Falling Skies. I had the chance to catch up one episode of Falling Skies on AXN Asia channel this week. It makes a captivating story. To me it does because I am one guy who dream of being in space and have the chance to see what is out there, aliens included.

I do picture aliens as humanoid beings with big dome heads. Skitters doesn't look like that.  Rather, they are insect like creature. But they don't seem to be primal like the aliens we see in the "The Alien" movie in associate them with. One thing is certain so far, they didn't come here to eat us but just to scare us and  make a slave out of us. I wonder how it feels like to have that centipede like remote control attached to your back. Talk about putting chills to your spine literally.

Not only that, human survivors have to contend with the Mechs, the biped robot companions of the skitters. I do wonder why these robots are bipeds considering that their companion and possibly makers are the multi-legged skitters. Then again, this seem to be a multiple alien kind of invasion as some other alien will reveal itself as the show progress.Well the show looks so good so far.
