Posted July 8, 2011 The chaotic aftermath of an alien attack has left most of the world completely incapacitated. In the six months since the initial invasion, the few survivors have banded together outside major cities to begin the difficult task of fighting back. Each day is a test of survival as citizen soldiers work to protect the people in their care while also engaging in an insurgency campaign against the occupying alien force. Anyone else watch the premiere of this new series this week? I just got around to watching the recording and I quite enjoyed it. I always liked Noah Wyle in ER and thats carried on here. Not entirely sure about his sons in it though, they feel like they could go the way of the annoying kids in the War of the Worlds remake. The aliens seem ok, CGI on the mechs seemed a bit iffy but as its a tv show im willing to forgive that. I saw as well that its already been renewed for a second season.

Posted July 11, 2011 I saw this and i thought it was ok. I expect that it will get better as we get to know the characters more in depth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) Yet to check it out, but it's got Noah Wyle in it, so it will clearly be excellent. Edited July 11, 2011 by Jon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 14, 2011 This is getting better. More characters being introduced is making it heat up a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) The pilot episode didn't leave me very excited but the following ones really moved forward at a fast pace. I particularly like how they try to study the enemy. I couldn't help but think of Starship Troopers though and that this would probably be the scenario if the bugs overwhelmed humanity.

Posted July 17, 2011 I actually really liked the discussion about why they would create bipedal robots when they themselves arent. Its not something ive ever thought about in sci-fi shows and thats something I like with my shows, them making me think more afterwards. Thats one of the reasons I liked Lost so much.

Posted August 2, 2011 Wow, episode 8 was pretty crazy. Two plot things I absolutely did not expect. I guess this explains the harness kids enhanced strength and the bipedal robots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
