Falling Skies (TV Series) The Pickett Line (2013) User Reviews

The Mole

[claudio_carvalho · 7/10 · 11 February 2022]

Tom and his sons leave Charleston and ride on the road looking for Anne and Alexia. Out of the blue, they are robbed by a masked gang that steels their horses, supplies and weapons. However the Mason family decide to look for the group and retrieve their belongings. They find the robbers in their farm and there are betrayal and confrontation. Meanwhile Conchise brings the wounded President Hathaway to Charleston and he sees the Volm weapon with Marina and Weaver.

'The Pickett Line" is an episode of "Falling Skies" where the surprising identity of the mole is disclosed. Now that the viewer knows who the assassin and spy is, many occurrences in the past make sense, inclusive how the location of the meeting between Hathaway and Tom was discovered. Hard to understand why Tom leaves his sons and the search for Anne and Alexia to help the Pickett family. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "The Pickett Line"

Seriously?

[nemesis-88 · 1/10 · 23 September 2020]

In an intense armed brawl a man attacks the older brother with a LONG knife. When he has the knife at the boy's throat, the youngest brother shoot the bad man. The man falls to the ground, raises his head and asks: "Why did you do that?" Mind you, a few hours (two minutes of screen time) ago the man and his family held the brothers at gunpoint and took all their possessions. But the young boy looks guilty as hell, because hey, the good man was only holding a sharp knife to his brother's neck for the giggles. What could possibly be a threat! Everything is alright in Speilberg's universe.

Mason Family Adventures

[MajorBaleegh · 1/10 · 13 February 2021]

Initially, I thought it to be a science fiction TV series, but watching up to season 3 I realized that the name of the show was selected wrongly, the name of the show should have been "Mason's Family Adventures" as apart from this family the rest of the cast were placed to fill in the gaps rest every episode was revolving around Mason's Family. In each show, one of the member of this family ran in to the trouble and the rest of the cast just run around and try to help them and bring them out of that situation. In totality this family drama ruins the entire TV show and now I am getting sick of the same plot again and again.

Mexican stand offs

[theredbaron2007 · 1/10 · 30 September 2023]

They're supposed to be hardened soldiers two years into a war and considering how many ridiculous stand offs they get into. You think they'd understand numerical advantages. Or at least shoot first talk later. The second or third in this episode was ridiculous. They both had guns on each other and all the masons also had guns. There was no logical reason other than bad writing for them to loose that one.

It's gotten ridiculous.

No wonder people started losing interest in this show. The writers suck.

Hell why was no one else tied up? Like what is strategy? You let them visit him one at a time. So many ways to avoid this. This is stupid.
