Falling Skies

On Friday at Comic-Con 2011, Room 6BCF hosted much-anticipated panels for Falling Skies.The panel began with a video presentation of already-aired clips, ending with the conclusion of last week’s episode, “Sanctuary, Part 1.” For this new series, which has been cable’s top launch of 2011, fans listened intently to the first question addressed to the entire panel: "What is your favorite episode?" Star Noah Wyle favored the pilot, while Sarah Sanguin Carter (Margaret) and co-executive producers Mark Verheiden and Darryl Frank preferred the final episode of the first season. Panelists answered most fan queries with lines like “You’ll find out,” “Be patient,” and “Keep watching,” since the burning questions dealt with back stories of the characters, intentions of the aliens, why the skitters want the children, and the future of Tom and Anne’s relationship. The audience did learn, however, that there will be no flashbacks of the alien invasion, which caught quite a few spectators by surprise.
