As much as I LOVE scifi, UFOs, & aliens...I am skipping this one which looks like yet another re-tread of SKYLINE, ID4, BATTLE LOS ANGELES, etc. I am weary of negative scenarios (hostile alien attacks, apocalyptic dark worlds) and long for the days of E.T., COCOON, CE3K, and other friendly visitors. (PAUL was great). Pass.

With Spielberg attached I was expecting a big(ish) cheese to score this.
Step forward....Noah Sarota.
But then I'd never heard of David Bergeaud before Earth 2 and his music was great!
And I'd never heard of Laura Karpman until I heard her music for TAKEN, which was very good.
Though I can't say I've heard of anything she's done since....

I found the first 3 episodes of the season so far were a LOT better than last year.
Possible, albiet minor, spoilers ahead. Nothing big, but I'll black it out anyway.
The 2nd Mass is on the move which is a lot more realistic than camping out in a high school all year, and the casualties in the three months Noah Wylie's character was away were enormous. There's now a feeling of movement and a tangible goal, plus the hint of a regular adversary. I'm liking it a lot so far.
Will Patton is still the highlight of the cast. If I have to bitch about anything, it's some of the dialog. Especially Pope's. He's a great character, but sometimes what he says makes me scratch my head; "dollars to doughnuts"? "Beaucoup skitters"?

Last year I couldn't stay far enough away from this series. Now I am actually looking forward to future episodes. My nit-pick? The biker gang are always dirty and grungy while the rest of the people seem to wash their faces between battles. Guess your more the bad ass if you don't use soap. 
There's actually a pretty amusing exchange in one of the episodes about some of the gang and how they smell.
@ mstrox - I agree regarding the pilot sub-plot. I expected something a little more significant to come from that. There was never really a pay off.
Me too, I thought she would have some kind of connection to someone or at least have a much larger role in the episode. Ah well.

Gotta admit that even though I was excited about this show before it premiered I've not seen it yet! Sidetracked by too many other shows. Considering finally getting into it, now too knowing that it's had years to develop its story.
Thoughts on the show? Avoiding spoilers, why or why do you not like it?
