		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, I have a lot of criticism of the show, but I have to admit that I tore through the entire season in a couple of sittings whereas its sister show Terra Nova (also Spielberg ex-produced) seemed like a chore to sit through each episode.  Skies was underwritten while Nova was overwritten.  Overall, I&#039;m happy to see Skies return.


On the criticism side, hiding in a school seems totally ridiculous.  The freedom fighters are totally out in the open and the aliens could take them out just from dropping a few rocks on them.  The Boston area doesn&#039;t have many caves, but there&#039;s a big cold war bunker in Framingham, cities have extensive sewer systems under them, and buildings have some fairly deep basements that they could hide in.  I&#039;m tired of the old sci-fi trope that the aliens don&#039;t want to wipe them out for ______ reason.  Also the low budget led to a lot of talking instead of action in the later episodes.  A couple of them could have been chopped without missing anything.  But I&#039;m looking forward to season 2.]]></description>
