WonderCon 2011: “Falling Skies” Panel Video and Footage Reaction Dan Koelsch, April 2, 2011April 2, 2011 One of the first panels on Friday at Comic-Con was the panel for TNT’s Falling Skies, which is set to debut on Sunday, June 19, at 9 p.m. with a two-hour pilot episode. The Steven Spielberg-created sci-fi show chronicles of a group of people trying to survive an alien invasion six months later.

I was pretty impressed with the footage, which focused on two action sequences with the aliens and the clip below. It has a theatrical film feel with good acting.
