The First Three Action-Packed, Yet Somehow Incredibly Boring Minutes of Falling Skies Season 2
Question: Are any of you guys watching this? Do I need to cover this show? I know I should, because it’s a sci-fi series and this is a nerd blog, but obviously my inclination is no — seriously, I can’t remember watching a scene where aliens and humans brutally try to murder each other in which I was less captivated — but maybe if I’d seen season one this would be totally awesome. Just let me know, I guess. (Via Blastr)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
