    Belatedly Admirer of INVASION // Disappointed with interruption.

    While I agree with the previous comment (whereby this series could have been GREAT, if some aspects of the production had been superior), and although I have only recently watched all the episodes via Amazon.com, I was tremendously disappointed with the fact that INVASION was discontinued after the end of Season-1. There was a great deal of potential for the development of additional episodes...

    Bearing in mind that I am a major fan of SCI-FI movies & series, I am poised to provide a contribution to these reviews, by placing INVASION among the top 10 science fictions plots I have ever watched. Indeed, because of its unique story line, INVASION WAS truly original, for it is not only unlike any sci-fi story I've seen or read before, but it was also NOT predictable, such as most of the other shows of this genre which I have watched for the past 20 years.

    Too bad ABC elected to terminate it.

    Please Save this show...............................

    I was so disappointed to hear that this show was canceled. There seemed to be so much to come. I thought the actors were wonderful and they kept us guessing from week to week. It was i admit a little slow moving to start with but it was worth the wait when it started to fall in to place. I agree with the previous comments that if you don't have patience this is not the show for you. If anyone knows of a way to save this show please let me know, i will do what i can to bring this back. I thought this was something unique, that might just survive. But, i remember another Shawn Cassidy show i loved a lot also that didn't make it. American Gothic was one of my favorite shows ever and it didn't last either, i think maybe that shows that are just a little off don't make it in the mainstream. They like to pretend it will aka Twin Peaks but even that did't last. It has to be just like every other show to make it. Unfortunately that means this probably won't return. that makes me sad....

    The Writing and Acting on Invasion is Tremendous!

    I LOVE this show. I make sure I am home every Wednesday night to watch Invasion. Shaun Cassidy, you amaze me how you created such a adventurous, sitting on the edge of the seat, and fun show. All the writers, I applaud you. I myself am a new actress of 5 years in the Entertainment Industry. I try to watch a lot of shows for this is my "business" but then become selective with my time after discovering those TV shows I like. Well, Invasion, at first I thought oy vay! Gonna be silly and maybe a lot like "alien" shows in the past. But to me it is not. I cant wait to find out.....WHAT IS IN THE WATER? The main cast members are dynamic. And the actor who plays Russel is so believable. The actor who plays the Sheriff......he kind of spooks me! lol Last nights episode kept me on "the edge of my seat". I am glad you are dealing more with what is in the water now. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! L Berger

    Bring back Invasion!

    I am so disappointed about the cancellation of Invasion. I really think another network should reconsider picking it up. I understand that the production costs are significant, but they could be compromised without affecting the plot & script. I really didn't care about actually "seeing" the orange lights or any of the other fancy sci-fi stuff. I am much more interested in the plot and characters. The relationships are so complex,as is each individual character. As a viewer, I am sometimes conflicted as to who to "root" for, and I think that's excellent! This show really should have been given a better time-slot. A lot of people don't watch TV past 10:00, and especially right after Lost (which keeps you thinking about their show long after the credits are rolling. How can you commit to a completely different story when your mind is still reeling?) Even now, with Fitchner having joined the cast of Lost (at least that's what I hear), I still think it's worth another network's while to pick up Invasion where it left of, reduce the production costs, and write off "Tom" (Fitchner). After all, we last saw him at the ocean with an unconscious Larkin in his arms. It would be easy for Russell to kill him for that, even though intentions were good. BRING BACK INVASION!!

    Not up for Renewal-Invasion

    We LOVE this show!!! It's different, very interesting and very suspenseful!!! That one hour goes by too quickly! However, we have just been informed (by a cast member, who will remain anonymous) that this show has NOT been picked up for the new Fall Season 2006-2007. We must do everything we can to prevent this from happening!!! Contact Ex. Producer, Timothy Marks!! I will provide contact info. has soon as I get it! Please pass this on..................it would be ashame to let this show be gone forever! We have WAY too many CSI's and Law and Order. Invasion breaks up the monotony and provides a new and different kind of show that appeals to so many of us!!!
