To conclude Falling Skies season one finale, Noah Wyle's Tom boarded the alien ship of mankind's invading enemy.

To open Falling Skies season two, meanwhile, we'll see... Noah Wyle's Tom boarding the alien ship of mankind's invading enemy.

From there, however, the TNT drama jumps ahead three months, as we witness Weaver and Pope dueling with some mechs and skitters, along with Margaret firing the final kill shot.

Falling Skies returns with new episodes on June 17, ones we'll cover in depth each week on TV Fanatic. For now, sit back and watch the opening three minutes from the season premiere:
