New "Falling Skies" Trailers: Noah Wyle: Defender Of The Universe
By TK | Posted Under Trailers | Comments (8)
I have this problem with “Falling Skies,” the new Spielberg-produced series coming later this year. It looks like something I should be interested in. Frankly, I’ll just say what we’re all thinking: It looks like “The Walking Dead” with aliens. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but there’s just one… small… problem…
Noah Wyle.
It’s not that he’s a bad actor. He’s fine. Perhaps, as his tenure on “E.R.” showed people, more than fine. But my problem with him is that whenever I see him, from now until the end of time, I can only think of those ridiculous TNT movies starring him as The Librarian. You know, the one where Bob Newhart plays some sort of immortal nerd-master and co-starred people like Kyle MacLachlan and Gabrielle Anwar. Jane Curtin was in them too, and I could smell the shame on her from my living room. Not MacLachlan, though… motherfucker hasn’t known shame since he agreed to Showgirls.
I digress. My point is, Noah Wyle has some sins to atone for before I can take him seriously again. Falling Skies has potential — it’s shooting for that gutty, gritty survivalist vibe that I hope they hit, instead of pulling punches and becoming yet another crappy cable sci-fi show. And I’ve had more than enough of that. Anyway, here’s the newest trailer/clip from the show. Shows more of the creepy, arachnoid aliens, and more desolate America. Take a look-see:
(“Mankind”)
In case you’re curious, here are the other spots:
(“Resist”)
(“Only Hope”)
(“An Epic Battle”)
(“Flashlight”)
In case you’re hankering for more, TNT actually has a multi-part webcomic serving as a prelude, which isn’t too bad. It’s not exactly Frank Miller or Mark Millar, but it’s not terrible.

Gotta say that looks quite interesting.
I just hope it doesn't suck as much cock as The Walking Dead which was easily the biggest tv show disappointment in the last few years. Incredible poor storylines and poor execution truth be told.
