The engine's still sputtering a bit, but I think it turned over on this show's third try, an uneven episode that at least has enough going for it to rise above the mundane. Rising above the mundane is a good thing. Keep it up.
Some say the world will end in fire. Some say ice. Others say it will just be boring and dumb. We now know where "Falling Skies" placed its bet. But then, didn't we always?
The title of tonight's episode sums up the series to date: a sure-fire hit that everyone's waiting to see rev up. This hour is better than last week's interminable pilot, but it hasn't found its stride yet.
