Pope did have one point: everybody did just accept Mason’s yarns at face value, and nothing bad ever happened to them. Heck Tom even got a wife upgrade thanks to the invasion, Anna was way hotter and nicer than what we saw of wife 1.
And then Anthony unPTSDs in a snap.
Joel Hodgson (main guy from MST3K) does rifftrax now, basically the same thing but it’s audio only so you play it while watching the movie (keeps him from needing to get the rights). Maybe if enough of us request it he’ll start doing Falling Skies riffs.
Tom was a speechifier, no doubt. He was nice eye candy, though.
I think the show started to bug me when they re-did the Mechs. I loved the first version, and I thought they were genuinely scary.
Then off we went into “WTH” territory, with Nazi schools for kids, etc.
I’m going to check out rifftrax and make a request.
