Falling Skies - Season 5
The series goes back to a wide range of dramatic drama and adventure. The fifth season begins with a new set of events, most notably Tom's life hanging in the balance as he drifts into space in which he encounters a surprise guest. Meanwhile, the second Massacre continues in the attack against Espinn. On the other hand, a sudden attack of skiers leaves the second mass without food. In desperation, Maggie, Ben, Pope, and Sarah go on a dangerous mission hoping to find supplies. Along the way, they encountered a severely scarred family by the Espheni plan. Maggie must make false promises to ensure the survival of the second mass.

With the human death toll continuing to rise, even significant wins against the Espheni are coming at too high a price. It feels like an ever-increasing game of high-stakes chess, and there are only so many pawns left on the board.

Tom's inner rage bubbling to the surface definitely brought a new kind of energy to the show. His no nonsense attitude is certainly refreshing even if it can be a bit scary at times.

I was underwhelmed by Falling Skies' return largely because I was so impressed by the Season 4 finale. It promised us a new world. I'm still waiting for my new world.
