‘Falling Skies’ season 5, episode 9 preview: ‘Reunion’ is beginning of the end for Noah Wyle, cast

We are almost now to the complete end of the road for “Falling Skies.” Next week’s “Reunion” is the penultimate episode of the series, and there is certainly going to be plenty of violence, surprise attacks, and preparation for what is a fully engrossing final chapter that will hopefully provide you with at least some sort of hope. We’ve said time and time again that this does need something to hang its hat on when it comes to this in the end, and we can only hope that this episode provides that.

Before we do too much else for now, let’s start this article by sharing the official synopsis courtesy of TNT:

“Tom gains a powerful new weapon against the Espheni. Ben puts his life on the line to extract enemy plans. Pope discovers that Tom is alive, and launches a final attack. Meanwhile, the 2nd Mass must reassess their situation when an unexpected visitor appears.”

What is really going to get you hyped up right now is watching the promo below, which features Tom more or less questioning his own existence while an enormous ship comes out from the sea. With the arrival of a Queen, things are about to get potentially so much worse, and survival becomes a ticking clock. We have some faith the in 2nd Mass still; they’ve been underdogs every step of the way so far, and that is not changing.
