After doing battle with cyborgs as a tough-as-nails pilot in Terminator Salvation, you’d think Moon Bloodgood would be reluctant to return to a post-apocalyptic , alien invaded world of TNT’s Falling Skies.
But to think that is to misunderstand Bloodgood’s personality. Although she has a varied resume that includes Burn Notice, Journeyman, the video game Darksiders and more, one constant that has seemed to develop in Bloodgood’s career is her selection of strong, typically bad-ass women. The trend continues with her role as Anne Glass, a pediatrician who has to assume responsibilities as a physician and surgeon to a group of human survivors after angry extraterrestrials wipe out 90 percent of the planet’s population.

In fact, there is a dark edge residing underneath the good doctor, and in the Season One of the science-fiction show, she was the focus of a particularly violent, gory scene that involved an alien “skitter” in a cage.
When Moon Bloodgood spoke with Paranormal Pop Culture about her character arc in Season Two, premiering June 17 at 9 p.m., she said fans can expect even more growth for the independent, darker Anne.
