Volviendo al apartado de televisión, hace poco me sorprendió gratamente esta serie avalada por Spielberg, ya no se cuántas van, que gira en torno a una temática ya explotada en otras ocasiones: LA INVASIÓN ALIENÍGENA. Hay que decir que no por ser un tema algo gastado vamos a encontrar lo mismo de siempre. Lo bueno es que en Falling Skies se reinventan ciertos aspectos de las series sobre hombrecillos verdes.
Ya sabemos que Spielberg es una especie de Freak de los extraterrestres (Cowboys and Aliens, Super 8, Abducidos, Men in Black I y II, ET, etc), y aquí los guionistas de la serie nos enseñan más allá de efectos especiales y platillos volantes, la respuesta de los supervivientes a la invasión; cómo los pocos militares que quedan aglutinan a civiles y los convierten en soldados creando auténticos regimientos militares, donde el 2º de Massachussets (Mass.) adquirirá protagonismo de manos de los personajes que interpretan Noah Wyle y Will Patton. Se genera una situación de retroceso tecnológico humano y la guerra de guerrillas cobra su protagonismo durante gran parte del show. Tom Mason (Noah Wyle) es un profesor universitario de historia bélica reconvertido a capitán, aleccionando a civiles y enfrentándose a militares fuera de sí mismos, este personaje es la clave y el generador de conflictos y relaciones personales del 2º de Mass.
Quizás lo más destacable sea la convivencia entre los propios humanos, que como casi siempre se erije en la clave del éxito de la empresa. Una convivencia que regala al espectador los mejores momentos de la serie y que se aderezan con las escasas apariciones de los extraterrestres.
Otro punto fuerte que recuerda a los invasores de cuerpos, es que los alienígenas intentan subyugar a los niños implantándoles dispositivos en la base de la nuca, unos niños que intentan ser devueltos con sus padres y que parecen ser parte de la clave para entender someramente la intención invasora y quizás encontrar un punto débil por el cual atacar.
En resumen creo que es una estupenda manera de refrescar el panorama de series de ciencia ficción, y una oportunidad para visionar un producto apto para todos los públicos y muy recomendable.

Un saludo.
PS: hay que aguantar un par de episodios para que acabe enganchando pero lo hace.
MULDER AND SCULLY KNEW IT
Returning to the TV section, recently I was pleasantly surprised this series endorsed by Spielberg, and many are not, which revolves around a theme already developed in the past: the alien invasion. It must be said that not be an issue we will find something worn as usual. The good news is that in Falling Skies reinvent certain aspects of the series about little green men.
We already know that Spielberg is a kind of Freak of aliens (Cowboys and Aliens, Super 8, Abducted, Men in Black I and II, ET, etc.), and here the writers of the show teach us beyond special effects and saucers flyers, the response of the survivors of the invasion, how the few remaining military and civilian agglutinate become soldiers creating authentic military regiments, where the 2nd Massachusetts (Mass.) hands acquire ownership of the characters played by Noah Wyle and Will Patton. It creates a situation of human technological setback and guerrilla warfare takes its role for much of the show. Tom Mason (Noah Wyle) is a professor of military history converted to captain, instructing civilians and military face outside themselves, this character is the key and the generator of conflicts and relationships of the 2nd Mass.
Perhaps most remarkable is the coexistence between humans themselves, that as erije almost always the key to success in business. A coexistence that gives the viewer the best moments of the series and is seasoned with rare appearances of aliens.
Another strength that recalls the invaders of bodies, is that the aliens attempt to subjugate children implanting devices in the base of the neck, some kids who try to be returned to their parents and they seem to be part of the key to understand briefly the intention invasive and perhaps find a weak point by which to attack.
In short I think it's a great way to refresh the view of science fiction series, and an opportunity to view a product suitable for all ages and highly recommended.
A greeting.
PS: you have to endure a couple of episodes to finish hooking but it does.
