Everyone loves a happy ending, but the explosive series finale that Falling Skies fans hoped for wasnt delivered.
ThisFalling Skiesfinale review contains spoilers.
But after a fast-paced rush job of a finale, humanitys victory felt hollow.
I do like how the episode was framed, I must admit.
I almost wondered if we might see a flash forward to President Matt Mason down the road.
Marty died in the black hornet attack, having served his purpose.
Anthony is told to hold down the fort and is suddenly cured of PTSD and redeemed.
Anne announces shes pregnant because, okay, why not?
Oh yeah, Isabella.
Everything was rushed to its conclusion!
This anticlimactic joy of victory was represented well by the fizzling fireworks of exploding skitters.
Hooray and yet thats it?
And oh, the tragedy of Annes death!
However, the drama of the moment was spoiled by the unbelievable resurrection somehow affected by the Dornia.
The rubble that buried him last week was so abrupt that no one could believe he was truly gone.
So I end myFalling Skiesreview stint with my lowest rating ever given, and it breaks my heart.
But then I realized that would only be… whats the opposite of gilding the lily?
