I haven't even seen Battle for LA and I can already tell you that ANYTHING is better than Battle for LA. ;)
As for The Walking Dead, I'm not sure if I like the tv version or not. They only made 7 frikkin episodes and that isn't long enough to even build basic character development.

I never heard of it but I just saw the trailer. Looks like Battle LA which I stopped watching after 40 minuets because it was so terrible. Basically it is just crappy face paced far away CG so you can’t tell what is really going on. They do this so they can just ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- it out with out spending any time on the detail. I am sure they have a multimedia class do half the work for them for free.
Hey we got this building and sky background and these people in the foreground staring up at the sky looking amazed. Can you take these shity ufo models fly across the sky real quick so you cant tell how shity they are, then put a blow up effect with smoke effect, then we will pan back to the actors real quick.
Total garbage not interested.

My biggest complaint with falling skies is the same complaint I have with most alien invasion movies or shows. It seems hollywood can't figure out how to make a species so far advanced beyond ours look advanced. They always look like primitive swamp creatures or something. How is something like the creature in this show or Independence day supposed to build intricate devices with the clunky looking articulating devices they have that are supposed to be hands?

Well you've got to understand that smart looking aliens typically are going to look very weak. Monsterous aliens seem like more of a threat as they are scary looking.
In the case of these aliens, they apparently are capable of mind control, so that should explain how they get things built. ;)
Also if you look at the crab aliens on the show they actually seem very intelligent. Sure their digits aren't as fancy as ours, but they have two fingers and an opposable thumb, and that's all you really need.

The show already suggested that the 6 legged aliens didn't create the 2 legged robots. Since it already got signed for a second season I'm guessing they’ll milk the suspense for another season.
