Invasion Thoughts
ABC’s new science fiction drama series Invasion kicks off tonight at 10pm. It’s run into some promotional trouble as the opening episode features the aftermath of a hurricane. However, unlike some of the other sci-fi pilots this season, it’s also getting good reviews. The fact that its by American Gothic creator Shaun Cassidy may have something to do with that.
The synopsis for the first episode of Invasion goes like this:
When a small town at the edge of the Florida Everglades is threatened by a raging hurricane, U.S. Park Ranger Russell Varon must go to great lengths to protect the small community and his family safe. During the storm his young daughter claims to have seen mysterious lights, seemingly unaffected by the gale-force winds, floating near the water. Varon dismisses the sighting, but begins to wonder if there really was some truth to the story after his missing ex-wife turns up naked and her memory of the storm is completely gone.
While the community begins to clean up after the storm and piece their lives back together, Varon begins to investigate the strange happenings as he tries to make sense of what is happening.
I’ve got this one down for recording on TiVo tonight, but at my current rate, probably won’t get to watch it till the weekend. So I thought I’d post a reminder to watch the show and also ask for feedback from people.
What did you think. Good? Bad? The second coming of the X-Files?
