Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Joshua Lawrence Pike Threshold I'm going to let you all in on a secret, I rarely like alien invasion stories. It's not that I dislike the idea, it's that they are hard to get right and most of them have glaring flaws I can't ignore. That was my problem with Falling Skies.Threshold has been called a reverse X-files. In it a probe gets to earth and changes people, they become faster, stronger, and tougher. They start to carry out the agenda of the aliens. The show is about the team that is put together to make contact with them, then to deal with the threat.The show is intelligent, it has very well developed characters who try to solve problems made harder by the fact that only they know what is really going on. They have countless people working for them but none of them know the whole truth. Often classifying data during emergencies is shown to be done with little thought, or just serves to get in the hero's way. In Threshold it is rightfully shown to be necessary, it causes headaches and sometimes makes things worse but is needed.It is just one season of a planned three, but It's still good and worth watching if you can track it down.www.JoshuaLawrencePike.com

Pilje I'd like to be very short in review, and i try. Good atmosphere in every episode, good music, picture - so-so, elements of drama - good as well, screenplay - excellent, in summary - close to perfect. Al in all, very very good show. Atmosphere is slowly warming up from episode to episode, very well described. I don't know why do they cease with production. Actually, it should have at least 20 or something episode, and it will be complete show, and now, only 13 is very short, but after all, enough to tell the story. Actors are very well chosen, and this show as someone said, is better than most of others of this genre. Similar story happened with "V", who deserve also to be in my list of five best SciFi shows ever.

S.R. Dipaling Sci-Fi television shows have a notorious ability to ware very quickly on the patience of networks and producers. Indeed,if you were tick off a list of Sci-Fi shows that "made it" (i.e. lasted longer than a couple of seasons), you'd have barely enough to count on one hand("Star Trek","X-Files","The Incredible Hulk" and "Quantum Leap" come immediately to mind),and it could be argued that the TRULY successful shows--try "Star Trek:TNG", "ST:DSN", "ST:V", "Xena:Warrior Princess", "Battlestar Galactica(Sci-Fi channel's,not ABC's legendary offering)" and "Babylon 5"--were so because they were syndicated rather than network produced,allowing these shows to find their followings at their own pace,rather than the tight schedules of network TV.Herein lies the great downfall of this otherwise quite intriguing show.A team of government experts are dispatched to investigate an unexplainable phenomenon that occurred to a shipping vessel,and the results found are even more bizarre and otherworldly. A VERY solid cast--CArla Gugino,Brent Spiner,Charles S.Dutton,Peter Dinklage and Brian VAn Holt--comprise the team,and the story lines,while somewhat murky and maybe bearing a little TOO much resemblance to stuff like "X-Files" or "Kolchak",still made for reasonably compelling entertainment. But CBS accursed this show from the start,stuffing into Friday nights,giving it about two months if that,then dropping and re-running the show sporadically over the rest of the 2005-06 season. Is it any wonder it made it to a WHOLE compliment of shows! Here's hoping that Sci-Fi network can bring back the re-runs and maybe,just MAYBE produce this show anew.

Arnold Bontsema I go for the look and the feel in a show. Of course the story and writing are as important as well. Threshold had a lot of that.An exciting new sci-fi show was what Threshold could have been. But ratings decided otherwise. I hate ratings I really do. I liked Threshold still do. It had an X-Files feel to it story-wise a Star Trek glow and a touch of.. Perhaps the pacing of the show should have been somewhat faster.They tend to stretch story lines in shows like these. Probably to get there 22-24 episodes out. I would rather have 12 really good, story, layered episodes (60.min) than 24 not so good forgettable television.
