Falling Skies/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Tom establishes the "badass" in his Badass Bookworm by being the first character to beat a skitter one-on-one on-Screen.
  • In "Grace", Pope kills a nest of sleeping Skitters by attaching a couple of grenades to a gas can and tossing it at them.
  • Anne kills the captive Skitter with nothing but a scalpel by reaching into its mouth and stabbing it in its weak point (the soft palate between the mouth and its brain).
  • Mike's Heroic Sacrifice You Shall Not Pass moment, holding off the Seventh Mass so that Hal can get the Second Mass's kids to safety.

"I might not be able to stop this, but I won't be a part of it!"

  • Pope maybe a complete bastard but when he figured out how to kill the Mechs, with the help of Matt, and was demonstrating it to the 2nd Mass, this trooper was cheering along with the crowd.
  • Even after the attack on the alien structure fails, Tom still manages to strike a blow against the invaders by hitting one of the alien fighter craft with a Mech metal-enhanced RPG (basically a one-in-a-million shot), which then crashes into the structure and causes extensive damage to one wing of the structure.

Weaver: "Good shot."
