Falling Skies Season 5  Democracy in America  Book Movie Props
Season 5, Episodes 6 & 7 - Season 5, Episode 6 (22:54 minutes) - Tom Mason (Noah Wyle) comes across this hard cover book titled "Democracy in America" while awaiting his first glass of iced tea in years, in the kitchen of codger Willie McComb (Timothy Webber). As Tom recounts to Willie's daughter Alicia (Chelah Horsdal), this is a classic history book that Tom loves to use in his classes as a history professor. What Tom doesn't explain is the precise significance this book plays in the current, post-apocalyptic revolution that will launch a new democratic system of government (should the humans prevail). Originally published in 1835, this classic book by 19th century French author Alexis-Charles-Henri Clérel De Tocqueville delineates what Tocqueville perceives as the democratic revolution taking place during the past seven hundred years (1135 to 1835 A.D.) and the subsequent development of equality within society. Season 5, Episode 6 (36:56 minutes) - As Tom departs the McComb family's home, Alicia presents Toqueville's book to Tom as a parting present with the words, "Reading for the road" and the knowledge that Tom's probably the likeliest person on the planet to appreciate it. Approx. 9 1/2" x 6 1/2".
