Carol Barbee joins TNT's 'Falling Skies'

A few days ago we reported that the hit TNT sci-fi series 'Falling Skies' was getting a new showrunner in David Eick. Well Eick isn't wasting any time in putting a new team together: today it was announced that Carol Barbee has joined the 'Falling Skies' team as a consulting producer.

Barbee and Eick worked together on the recently cancelled Kiefer Sutherland series 'Touch.' Barbee is Barbeean experienced showrunner in her own right, previously working as a producer on 'Hawaii Five-0,' 'Three Rivers,' 'Swingtown' and 'Judging Amy.' Just as Eick brings a lot of science-fiction credibility to 'Falling Skies' having worked on 'Battlestar Galactica' and 'Caprica,' Barbee previously worked on 'Jericho,' which like 'Falling Skies' is set in a post-apocalyptic world.

Barbee also has several writing credits on each of the series she has produced, mentioned above. Eick made clear his intentions to begin writing a fourth season of the TNT drama as soon as possible; given the immense set construction and post-production effects necessary for such a sprawling epic science fiction series, 'Falling Skies' writers often work well in advance of shooting schedules in order to give various people the time needed to bring their scripts to life on screen.

On June 9, 'Falling Skies' returns with a third season on TNT. Iit seems all but certain that 'Falling Skies' will be renewed for a fourth season after this one. The show is TNT?s #1 scripted series in the younger demographics.

Wow! What a season a premiere. The preview for the next episode looks good. I was impressed by the quality of the CGI. It's amazing for a TV show. I was also surprised by the actor that played Cochise (Doug Jones). His name isn't well known but he's been in a lot of movies.

He played Abe Sapien in the Hellboy movies:

I knew I recognized the agoraphobic scientist Dr. Cadar from somewhere by his voice. Took me sometime, but then finally figured it out.

It's Wilson from House! Glad to see him back on tv! :)

OH MY GOD! THANK YOU for this, it's been drilling my head for the last few weeks! Loved House!

 

 

This is one cracking show. One of the best on TV currently!

I agree it was definitely filler and they shouldn't have the luxury of that in a 10 episode season. I liked the idea of them probing his thoughts and giving him that alternate reality to find out the target for the attack. I also like the building relationship between the Colonel and Pope. Pope has bad the bad boy but I keep hoping he's going to have a real hero moment.

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers by Karthik Mudaliar SpaceX reportedly wants to sell mobile phone plans directly to consumers in the United States as part of a wider expansion of Starlink. According to a report from the Financial Times, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell discussed the plan with investors during the company’s recent IPO roadshow. The company is also said to be considering building a terrestrial mobile network to complement Starlink’s satellite coverage. The plan is quite different from how Starlink currently operates in the U.S. mobile market. SpaceX already provides satellite connectivity for T-Mobile’s T-Satellite service, but T-Mobile remains responsible for the subscription, billing, and customer support. A Starlink-branded mobile service would give SpaceX control of the customer relationship instead. It could also turn the company from a partner of traditional mobile operators into a direct competitor. T-Mobile also began testing its Starlink-powered satellite service in early 2025. The beta was initially limited to text messaging and was also available to some AT&T and Verizon customers. The service has since expanded to support limited data access through selected apps, including WhatsApp, Google Maps, AccuWeather, and AllTrails. It is designed to provide a connection in areas where normal cell towers are unavailable, rather than replace a conventional mobile network. However, if SpaceX actually has a plan to serve nationwide, it needs to do more than just satellite networks and actually support on-ground operations. It can also partner up with existing carriers and become a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). With that said, SpaceX has already spent heavily to support its mobile ambitions. Just last year, the company agreed to acquire wireless spectrum licences from EchoStar in deals worth a combined $19.6 billion. EchoStar's spectrum includes AWS-4, H-Block, and AWS-3 frequencies that could be used for both satellite and terrestrial communications. According to a SpaceX securities filing, the Federal Communications Commission approved the transaction in May 2026, although it is not expected to close until late 2027. There's no official statement by SpaceX for now. Pricing, availability, and other details remain unknown. Source: Financial Times
