TNT, as a network, shares strong familial values, and the
relationships between families, adults and children form one of
the core dynamics of Falling Skies. That said, quit with their
whining! After what the survivors have seen, no child should be
too young to receive defensive training and we'd all be a lot
better off not having to suffer through teenage angst when
there's, you know, an alien apocalypse outside your door.  Hal's
a full-fledged fighter, Matt's going to pitch in however he can,
Rick's over his creepy Skitter obsession and Ben's going to turn
into a lizard or something. We've accepted it, stop over-
dramatizing it and let's move on!
