However, what I'm really looking forward to is Falling Skies, a new sci-fi TV series about some sort of alien invasion with Noah Wyle, Moon Bloodgood, Dale Dye (also know for working with Gearbox on Brothers In Arms) and a bunch of others. Starting this Sunday, it'll tide me over until The Walking Dead comes back!
