I can't believe I missed that. This show is sounding a lot like the “Tripods” series I read in grade school.

The books had three legged aliens with 3 legged vehicles and they use mind control to take over the Earth.

First they used subliminal messages to control the weaker minded adults(and kids) to attack the adults that resisted.  Then they started "capping" pre-teenagers to insure the control. The resistance had to recruit strong minded children before they were capped.

Also the 3 legged aliens are just in the caterpillar stage of the aliens' development, the aliens would eventually mature into pure energy beings.

I wonder if Falling Skies is stealing those ideas?

The two legged machines could be controlled by aliens that have matured into something other than 6 legged creatures.

The more I try and figure out this show the more I hate it.

The old SF novel Puppet Masters had the same thing clinging to you back for the same reason.  In SF nothing is new.
