With the two-hour premiere of the second season of TNT’s Falling Skies coming up tonight, it seemed as good a time as any to look at some of the questions left over from last year.Be aware that, because of the nature of this story, spoilers are ON and you should stop reading if you haven’t seen the first season yet.The series began as a pretty standard alien-invasion plot wherein the invading force was a group of insectoid creatures referred to in-story as “Skitters.” As the season wore on, there were a number of revelations about that species and their plans which raised as many questions for the viewers as they did for the characters in the show.
