I noticed we've been a little lax on our
Invasion coverage lately. I am not going to recap; instead, I'd like to ask what you think is happening. The basic premise is that this show is like
Invasion of the Body Snatchers right? Or at least that was my original thought but lately it seems to be a bit different. This week's episode, with Mariel's discovery of her own rotting corpse in the water was particularly interesting. If she's an alien, why is she so conflicted and confused? And if her husband, the deliciously creepy sheriff, was aware of this why did he seem so shaken? Originally it seemed like he was a malevolent mastermind but now he seems more and more clueless as to what is happening in the town. Is he even an alien or just some kind of alien helper? I like that this show, like
Lost, has a lot of unanswered questions but I wonder if there's a bit of intentional muddying of the waters going on. Certainly the
fake blog set up by "Dave" is no help. The
Invasion Forum reposted an interview from the Boston Globe with Shaun Cassidy (yes, that Shaun Cassidy) the show producer and while he didn't reveal anything too important I thought this quote was key: "Their blended family is kind of a metaphor for the bigger invasion of a species. [Pause.] If it is another species. " Are you still watching and if so, what do you think, is it aliens?
