... SO LONG, FAREWELL: TNT's Falling Skies wraps its second season Sunday (9/8c) feeling like an almost entirely different show from a year ago. The tension in this alien-invasion thriller is greater, the stakes are higher, the relationships go deeper, all of which makes the losses and setbacks hit harder. And the triumphs, such as they are, feel sweeter. The conflicts between humans are at least as harrowing as those between the survivors and the invaders — and that's never been more true than in the battle of wills that escalates in the finale between the feisty members of the 2nd Mass regiment and the military command in the new government based in underground Charleston, which refuses to believe the rebel Skitters could ever be trusted allies.
Will Tom Mason (Noah Wyle, rarely better) be allowed to put what I call "Operation Overlord" into motion and take down the spindly creature who's bedeviled him since last season's cliffhanger? Let's just say this climax isn't skimping on action, with some nifty and scary twists setting up what promises to be another nail-biting season next summer...
