- A cast clearly talented and a setting that is exceedingly-rare, Falling Skies works best when the action and the drama are not focused so much on alien technology but rather the human struggle and the visceral nature of the characters - something done quite well in this fifth season compared to the previous four.

Note: Full spoilers for Falling Skies: Season 5 follow.
The final season of Falling Skies had a promising start. Tom’s return sparked new questions about an enigmatic race of beings named the Dornia who were a powerful force that the Espheni actually feared at one point in time. The 2nd Mass were on the offensive after Tom blew up a facility on the moon and everything looked like it was building to a well-planned finale with ten episodes of room to develop some conflict and mystery.
For the first half of Season 5 it felt like things were working well. There weren’t any standout episodes in particular but it was fairly smooth sailing. However, it started to become apparent that the Espheni as a threat had significantly diminished. In part, this is explained from a story perspective as Tom did blow up a key power source for their entire war machine. Still, it’s a little strange that a highly advanced alien race that traveled across the galaxy would find it difficult to maintain more than one way to power their vehicles. Their invasion effort had essentially devolved into rushing the 2nd Mass base of operations over and over again. An effective strategy, sure, but not what you would expect to see from the Espheni.
There were a lot of good episodes this season but as a cohesive whole Falling Skies Season 5 is frustrating due to its inability to pace important story arcs over the course of the season. This failing results in an unfortunate end to a series that was never great but always managed to deliver some level of entertainment. [widget path="ign/modules/...
