Anybody remember Invasion?

Evanathsma January 12, 2010

Realizing that we're in the very short time left in which we don't really have anything too substantive to talk about... who remembers Invasion? It was the body snatcher show that aired on ABC after LOST during the second season. Does anybody remember how cool that show was? It got screwed by Hurricane Katrina and ABC, but I decided to derail my third rewatch since the end of season 5 (the one in the middle was to show it to a girl, so I am less insane) by watching the first and only season. This show really was a perfect companion to LOST and we would all have been watching it after LOST every week had it continued beyond the first season. If you haven't seen it, you should. I think that it is on par or better than the sci-fi shows that people keep comparing to LOST (Flashforward, Fringe, and V [Although, I really dig Fringe and V]). If you like LOST I'd be surprised if you don't like Invasion.

i grabbed "invasion" from a used book,cd,dvd store... i had never heard of it but i liked it a lot. i really didn't think it was anything special, but it did appeal to me.
sci-fi channel sometimes has marathons of series that only lasted one season during the weekdays. i've caught "invasion" before as well as "threshold" (which featured the actor who plays ethan rom as a villian!) and "surface," which both were on around the time "lost" started.
but the hands down best show that started around the time "lost" did was "carnivale." its sad it got cancelled after two seasons.

Well, of course they are. That was more of a recommendation than anything else.

Invasion had so much potential, but that huge chunk of middling episodes where the plot stood still were really boring. It did pick up at the end, and I did really want it to get renewed for a second season, because the tension was great, and with patience, it had an almost perfect build up to a second season. I was impressed, however understanding why some didn't like it.
I was a fan, but I didn't think it stood up to Lost in any way. I think it's unfair to say "If you like LOST I'd be surprised if you don't like Invasion. " They are completely different shows, with different meanings.

I really didn't like very much Invasion, but I'm quite sure I think this because it has been stopped after one single season.
By the way, William Fichter's character was awesome (as any characters of him) and it's seems to me he could have been in Lost without problems! (as Kate's marshall, maybe)
