List of Falling Skies characters
This is a list of characters from the TNT science fiction television series Falling Skies.
The main character is history professor Tom Mason, played by Noah Wyle, who becomes an action hero battling an alien invasion. His second in command is Desert Storm veteran Captain Weaver, played by Will Patton. Much of the show explores relationships between fathers and sons, including Weaver's relationship with Mason, and Tom Mason's own relationship with his three sons.
One of the female supporting characters is Anne Glass (Moon Bloodgood), who is a doctor and the main romantic love interest for Tom.
In 2011, Entertainment Weekly called John Pope, played by Colin Cunningham, the show's "most interesting character...as twitchy and sarcastic as Tom and Weaver are sincere". He is the leader of a band of marauders.
Originally thought to be the alien species responsible for invading Earth, the Skitters are a race under control of the Overlords. Their home world was subjugated by the Overlords and the Skitters were harnessed just like the children of Earth. Some Skitters have been able to overcome their controllers and plot rebellions against the Overlords.
Bipedal robotic drones that fight alongside the Skitters. Destroyed Mechs are entirely mechanical inside, so there is no "pilot," implying that they are unmanned drones. Those who control mechs can put them into guard/patrol mode, give special orders violating their usual protocol and assign priority targets. These commands are followed even if the commander is dead, implying that they have primitive A.I. that allows them to some extent think on their own. It seems that harnessed children can also order Mechs, such as when Karen Nadler orders a Mech to execute Boon (This implies that harnessed children have a military rank system). The Mechs, along with all other Espheni mechanized servants, are disabled when Alexis Glass-Mason sacrifices herself to destroy the Espheni power core.
Mechs produce a distinct mechanical moan every now and then for reasons unknown.
Are parasitic creatures that allow other races to completely control the wearer. It was not known that these were their own creature (and not just a piece of biomechanical equipment) until season 2. Their real names are chemlocks, according to Red Eye, the leader of the Skitter rebellion. In Season 4 a new type of harness is featured, used to mutate human adults into humanoid skitters. The Harnesses are permanently disabled when Alexis Glass-Mason destroys the Espheni power core along with all other Espheni technology. Though de-Harnessed, Ben Mason still retains the spikes from the Harness and the enhanced abilities granted by it. It also allows him to communicate with the Espheni and Skitters and use the Espehni Shadow Plane device.
