... Falling Skies
9-11 PM TNT, SEASON FINALE
Summer's white-knuckle pleasure, about survivors of an apocalyptic alien invasion, ends its first season with a rebel yell: Pill-popping Weaver (Will Patton) assaults Boston's towering alien base, while Tom (Noah Wyle) prepares for the evil ETs' final strike. Sure, the story's assembled from used parts — Lost and Battlestar Galactica, especially — but it's by no means rusty. Better yet, the finale bears the unmistakable mark of exec producer Steven Spielberg, right down to a mother (ship) of a cliff-hanger that plays like a dark, mirror-universe version of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
