The chaotic aftermath of an alien attack has left most of the world completely incapacitated. In the six months since the initial invasion, the few survivors have banded together outside major cities to begin the difficult task of fighting back. Each day is a test of survivalcitizen soldiers work to protect the people in their care while also engaging in an insurgency campaign against the occupying alien force.
Falling Skies Episodes 1 to 4: To the casual observer this series might appear to be a merely formulaic rehash of the now tried & tested sci-fi/action soap opera (e.g. Battlestar Galactica; The walking Dead; Lost; etc.). Unfortunately the apparent truth is even more unfortunate; not only are the stereotyped stock-characters laughably undeveloped (partially due to the apathetic acting of the cast), the basic premise that the US (& by extension presumably the Earth) has been invaded by a hostile alien occupying force is yet another thinly veiled cliché for the childish 'USA #1!' propaganda which leaves the rest of the world shaking its collective head in bewilderment.<br/><br/>That the narrative of a presumably successful, planet-wide invasion can be dealt & presented with such clumsy banality is utterly astounding. It's certainly the only surprise this series seems to have to offer,each episode (currently from 1 to 4) predictably shambles on mindlessly, apparently deliberately avoiding any chance of character or plot development in favour of repetitively sentimental set-pieces, constantly regurgitating the attempted rhetoric of 'We never had it so good'.<br/><br/>This series is neither for adults nor children who are capable of basic reasoning. Essentially it'smuch an insult to one's intelligenceThe Expendables.
When "Falling Skies" first premiered, I absolutely loved it. Fast forward to Season 4, and the writers just phoned it in. They essentially lost its originality, and stole from every other SciFi series they could to cobble together something barely palatable. This season, they blatantly ripped off Stargate SG-1's Ori leader Adria and essentially just called her by a different name, ransacked the 80s series "V" for their primary plot, and tossed in a dash of Hitler Youth right down to the uniforms for some pretense razzle dazzle. Add to that a whole half season torn from Fox's "Prison Break" scripts and you now know what season 4 is like. Go watch Dr. Who for a good SciFi alien series, because this one is going to the reject pile for me. *Sigh* And it had such good promise.

So the mechs aren't just robots, they have pilots inside.<br/><br/>http://tinypic.com/r/1zodt06/8<br/><br/> SPOILERS AHEAD: While the second answer posted above could be correct, I suspect it's not. As a fan of the show, and ONLY a fan, I've nonetheless paid very close attention to all aspects of it (and have consumed just about all sci-fi shows and movies going back to "Lost in Space" and the original "Star Trek" in the 60s).<br/><br/>As has been shown time and again in the show – including in the most recent episode (Season 4, Aug. 10 – Episode number isn't available to me at the moment), although many parts of Eshpheni technology are solid metal, and thus totally mechanical, many others are of a biomechanical nature, implying that the Eshpheni (whether they're totally biological beings, or not), have used integrated biomechanical features in almost all of their technology.<br/><br/>As was in evidence when Tom reached inside the "squishy portal" to activate the hatch to get inside the crashed Eshpheni ship, "something bit him," in other words, there was something "biomechanical" inside that grabbed his hand and decided based on it being biological to open the hatch. Then, when he happened to touch one of the orange, glowing, gelatinous-looking panels on the inside of the ship, he was not only badly shocked, but "something" came off that panel and imbedded itself inside his arm, and began writhing under the skin like it was trying to work its way up to his nervous system. Dyangann had to quickly wrap a TIGHT belt around his upper arm and then YANK the thing out by the roots, and when he did, it was like a hard shaft with little wiggling worms on the end of it – OBVIOUSLY biomechanical…<br/><br/>The same was true when Anne transplanted three of Ben's "spikes" to Maggie's spine to try to heal her paralysis. As she removed each one, the end of it wriggled and jiggled like the tentacles of a live octopus pulled out of the water, andsoonshe gently placed it on Maggie's back, over her spine, it "knew" exactly what to do, and burrowed right down into her spine.<br/><br/>Although the "mechs" could have some sort of "live" pilots inside them, I think it's highly more likely that they're more of the same sort of biomechanical weaponry, controlled by the minds of the Eshpheni, and that when any sort of "blood" oozes out of them when one of them is "killed" it's some of that biomechanical "life" that's draining away, not any actual live being inside of the "mechs."<br/><br/>In the case of the "skitters," they were once independent beings justare/were humans, but were conquered by the Eshpheni and were put under their control the same way the Eshpheni are now turning humans into their slaves. We have no way of knowing if the "skitters" originally looked anything like they do. They may have walked on two legs,well, but changed drasticallya result of the Eshpheni "evolution" process. We know at least ONE had the same control device inside it, tied to its nervous system that once was tied to Ben's spikes, controlling him. We don't know if they all do, or if many of them either willingly gave up and became slaves in order to live, or were "converted" into what they are now by a process similar to what Lexi showed to Ben on the Aug. 10 episode. But we do know that THEY are biological beings, even if they do have some technology implanted in them.<br/><br/>At any rate, the "mechs" were obviously designed to move like the overlords. Although humans have designed some combat robots to disarm bombs and some flying robots to take pictures or drop bombs, there seems to be an overwhelming desire to create robots that walk and look similar to us. There's no reason to believe another intelligent life form wouldn't see things in a similar manner, even though bipedal movement has some major disadvantagesfarbalance and swift movement and maneuverability go.
