This show looks like it's going to be the next "Lost" and what a coincidence, it's airing right after it.

Quote:

Invasion
Wednesdays, 10/9c

For centuries man has searched the skies for signs of intelligent life… but to no avail.

What if the explanation lay in the fact that aliens were already here... already among us? And what if all of the natural disasters we have been experiencing of late were smokescreens designed to mask something far more ominous?

When yet another devastating hurricane threatens Florida, temporarily cutting off a small town at the edge of the Everglades, U.S. Park Ranger Russell Varon takes heroic measures to keep both the town's citizens and his family safe. In the middle of the violent storm, his young daughter is the only one to see small lights floating towards the water, seemingly unaffected by the vicious winds. At the time he thinks nothing of her claim, but begins to suspect that something may indeed be amiss when his missing ex-wife is found naked, with no memory of what happened during the storm.

As the tiny town struggles to recover while his nemesis, the Sheriff, quarantines the entire area, Varon begins to investigate the strange goings on, unwittingly beginning a fight for the survival of the human race.

Veteran Writer/Producer Shaun Cassidy, and celebrated Director Thomas Schlamme (The West Wing) bring you the suspenseful tale of a blended family that finds itself at the center of a conspiracy designed to mask an alien takeover that is happening one neighbor at a time.

I've seen the commercials for this one, and it's definitely on my must check out list for the fall. I love a good sci-fi/mystery/aliens attempt to take over the world but humans fight back kind of show.

I'm checking it out because of the following...

1. Alexis
2. Evan
3. Kari
4. Eddie

Yes, the cast is awesome. I really can't wait for Alexis, she's a really good actress. I've missed Evan! I miss "The Days!" Kari, yes! Another "Wonderfalls" cast member. Eddie, well, dude, he's hott.

I'm glad it's on right after "Lost"...I hope it succeeds. From what I've seen, it looks intense!

Oh, although i have yet to have viewed the Pilot Episode. Invasion has to be in my No.1 spot of most anticipated Freshman shows.

I just viewed the Pilot Episode, and i can officialy say that this will be my No.1 new show this Fall. Incredibly entertaining, and it really leaves you eager to view Episode 2.

How did you already get to see the pilot episode!? I must say that I'm really jealous.

I'm afraid i did the unthinkable, which involved *whisper: downloading :whisper* the Episode. If you would like the link, then feel free to instant message me.

Downloading is so wrong! *wink wink*

As tempting as that offer is, I have probably the slowest dial-up on the planet and it would take me forever to download an hour long episode of something, so I guess I'll have to pass.

But thanks for the offer.
