‘Falling Skies’ season 5 spoilers: All-out war breaks out between humanity, Espheni

“Falling Skies” is going to return to TNT for its final season on Sunday, June 28, and we know that this is going to be a crazy handful of episodes that we are going to see leading up to the epic series finale. There is a whole lot of story to be tied up here for Tom, his children, and the rest of the 2nd Mass, and when you consider the short seasons that it has, that is not a significant amount of time.

While much of the production of season 5 has been quite a mystery, today SpoilerTV posted what is a fairly lengthy look ahead to how the story will close. Basically, it seems like we are going to descend into all-out warfare in order for the humans to survive:

“As season five opens, all breed of beast and mutant are running rampant on earth. The Espheni’s power core has been destroyed, and humans are now ready to fight on their terms, even if it means resorting to hand-to-hand combat against the enemy. After four years of being tortured, imprisoned and mutated and having their loved ones stolen from them, Tom and the 2nd Mass are filled with rage, ready to destroy the enemy in an all-out battle to determine the fate of Earth.”

We can not imagine a better pitch for the final season beyond all-out alien war. Also, given this premise we anticipate many people dying. We wouldn’t be shocked if Tom did, if it meant the betterment of all those around him. We really hope that this is a show with a happy end, mostly because this would otherwise be a heck of a depressing series to have sat through over the years.
