I noticed the show is full of “anti-hero” people. Almost every person has some major character flaw. Once in a while they do a good deed but they are not good people. This is standard Hollywood pabulum. Falling skies is pretty good but they have several characters that are bad as well and they try to force the diversity thing...

"the diversity thing"

I've noticed that more and more corporate ads feature people of every ethnicity and age group, each of them saying just one word or phrase as the camera shifts to the next one. I find it very annoying. Allstate has had that black actor for years, Sleep Country has its Mary Tyler Moore type Caucasian female, and Progressive has "Flo." Why do some companies think they have to include EVERYBODY in their ads?

A lot of SKs books have flawed people. Very few “good guys”. Storm of the Century showed everyone had some flaws and secrets. He’s a good writer but must lead a depressing dark life.

Now I do like Falling Skies. But the way people think these days is crazy....it's all upside down. I was reading on a Falling Skies discussion forum, and the majority of the posters there hate the Masons because they're very much about family. Pope is by far the favorite, and they think he should be put in charge (LOL). But the most despised character is Lourdes....because she reads the Bible.
