Invasion

digiman

Anyone watch this last night? I only saw the first one but I thought that it was good enough, nothing brilliant but I will try and catch a repeat of it somehow.
I have heard a lot of people compare it to Lost but I don't think that it is much like it at all.
Has anyone being following the US episodes? Without giving away anything is it worth sticking with the show?
What did everyone else think?

I got hooked last night. Watched the second episode, and then delighted to find out the 3rd episode was being shown on E4. Happy days.

It was/is a little slow moving, but keep you on tender hooks to know what's going to happen next. Acting isn't bad, scenes are shot in 'movie' mode (sure there is a technical term for that) but basically it looks more like a movie than TV show.

The ladies have their eye candy in the shape of the main character (My wife nearly passed out when he was having a shower). But no such blessings for the lads.

Fingers crossed it will be as good if not better as the weeks go on.

Well worth watching though

it's well worth watching. I've seen up to episode 10 of the U.S episodes. It is slow moving and I think that's why people compare it to Lost, you only find out bits and pieces every episode, but it does get very very good around episode 7/8.

so the alien people don't know they've been taken over? does the cop?

Spiler tags might help there lostexpectation.

Only read this if you've seen up to episode 10.

I thought I knew what was going on at around episode 3 or 4 I think. I thought that the aliens were killing the people and turning into them, by sucking out their memories and morphing into the same shape as their body. The sheriff's dead body was my first clue to this and my suspicion was confirmed in the episode where they tagged one of the aliens and then found the tag in the hill billy guy in the swamp. Why didn't your man cop on to what had happened at this point though? Surely he suspects that his ex (and all the others) is actually an Alien now.

That's what I thought up until the autopsy on the croc. The bit of alien tissue inside it was described as being like a womb, for gestating a new being in perhaps? I now believe that the "Alien People" are clones of the original people. The Aliens in the water kill you, suck out your memory and pass it into a cloned body that they grow inside of them. The cloned body has also got Alien DNA/Blood etch and also, it would seem, Alien programming too.

The people are not fully aware that they are Aliens, but they know they are different. They can breath under water, for example, and it doesn't seem to bother them.

The sheriff is the one I don't understand. He seems to be holding onto his past life far more than the others. He doesn't want his wife to know what she is now. Maybe the process didn't work too good in him and he's a little too human?

Anyway, I'm enjoying it and looking forward to it's return. Must start watching Surface now too.

I like Invasion so far (after 3 eps)

Speaking of Surface,which also looks interesting,any news of when it wil be on an Irish channel,or a British channel I have access to. I heard Channel 5 had it,but i can't get that.

Ive watched 10 epps and thought it was very slow. It seemed to be a si/fi come soap show attempt to appeal to a broader audience.

I watched the first 2 and then got the next 8, and currently up to 4...

Tis interesting enough, don't like what people here saying about it being very slow moving though... I don't have the patience!

Will watch up to 10 anyway before the weeks out and see how it is

I kind of half watched ep 3 tonight after enjoying the first 2 last week on Channel 4. It has moments of really good stuff, where you sit there wondering what's going to happen next, but on the whole, I think it's incredibly slow moving. We're 3 episodes in, and I have no idea what's going on..

watched up to 11, really enjoying it... must say enjoying it a lot more than Lost
