Falling Skies: The Video Game – Bold Step Forward or Needless Distraction?

Falling Skies might have just ended their Fourth Season and started work on their Fifth and final; but it seems there is one more project Falling Skies has been aiming for – a video game. Looks like we can add another item to the list of similarities between Falling Skies and The Walking Dead, because…

Examined: Falling Skies – “Till Death Do Us Part”

With the Season finale quickly approaching, Falling Skies has noticeably picked up. There were actually some great moments in writing in this past episode titled “Till Death Do Us Part“.
