I've seen the two-hour series premiere of Falling Skies that airs Sunday night on TNT and I can safely say: it's tremendous.

The extended episode feels like a movie, introduces characters that feel like real people and features Noah Wyle as the lead of a great cast. Look for my review to go live the instant the premiere concludes.

In the meantime, enjoy the following two sneak peeks at the installment. In the first, we see Wyle's Tom Mason on the run with his son; in the second, the action slows down a bit and we get to know a pair of main characters a lot better...
