Get ready for another ten episodes of Falling Skies, as it?s announced that season three has been ordered?

At a time when new sci-fi and genre series are struggling a little to even get past a first season, one of the quiet successes has been Falling Skies. Okay, maybe not that quiet ? this is a Steven Spielberg-backed project after all ? yet it?s still a show whose future at one point appeared a little cloudy.

It turns out, though, that Falling Skies is surviving where others have failed. And now the news has come through that, off the back of solid ratings, TNT has ordered a third season of the show.

In the US, apparently, the show is ranked as basic cable?s top summer drama with adults aged between 18 and 49, and outside of the US Falling Skies continues to earn a solid audience. As such, a ten episode season three has now been confirmed.

The characters just lack any sense of depth. Something I really miss in the show are flash backwards to how normal life was for them just before the attacks. We also have no idea whatsoever what happened the day of the attack apart from the trailers and quick references. Apparently they didn't attack right away. I think that's a major reason why, as a viewer, you don't feel connected to them. Basically the only thing you see is how they're fighting to stay alive which gets boring after a while.

Man I miss the new Battlestar Galactica in this regard. :(

I'm enjoying Falling Skies, and I'm glad that for once a show I like doesn't get cancelled and maybe we'll actually find out what is going on.

My partner and I both like it. It picked up a good bit this season I thought. Not a bad show at all. :)

Gotta say, as a UK Sci Fi lover, this is a great little show. All story and character progression....Aliens are being used as a plot device too which is nice.

I watched the first season and honestly thought I'd read it'd been cancelled.....so when I saw 2nd season out I was well happy.....will continue to watch this I think.

Now to continue my quest to get "Flash Forward" back on the air...christ I loved that :)

It's a really good show for the summer season when there's not much else to watch. Don't know if it'd fair well in a september - may schedule on a major network, but as it is now I watch it every week.

I like the show overall but i'm getting tired of this whole Ben bit going back and forth over and over. I hope now after this newest episode we can move on to the next plot point quickly.

      Brave Browser 1.91.178 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.178 changelog: Fixed certain extensions not working as expected. (#56271) Fixed inability to use Brave Sync in certain cases. (#55203) Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.196. (#56598) Download: Brave Browser 64-bit | 1.2 MB (Freeware) Download: Brave Browser 32-bit View: Brave Homepage | Offline Installers | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      Yeah, I signed out of everything when I changed the password to my account. I keep checking device history and there's never anything new other than my own activity.

      Microsoft are already committed to making patches for Win10 due to the IoT edition, so they may as well continue to sell access as they were doing the work anyway

      Oh goodie! We can look forward to more videos of people with these huge bombs catching on fire, exploding etc. There is a reason why most countries restrict the size of LiOn batteries, especially in air travel.
