I had to reset one of my Windows 7 Media Center systems so I need to add Falling Skies as a series recording. That and True Blood as well as a few others.
Last season when I watched it, I felt the same way. Actually had missed the last couple of episodes when they came out. Strangely as I watch the season again this week, I find myself liking it better than the first time. Maybe because as I watch it now I don't have 5 minutes of commercials after every five minutes of show time.
