Invasion really knew how to balance and combine it's sci-fi and soap elements in subtle ways, Buffy style. The other thing I loved about it was that it really built and connected from episode to episode, minor characters would appear weeks before they became important.

It was a little hard to take the hurricane stuff seriously after Katrina, though, which probably killed it.

Also, Eddie Cibrian was uber-cute.

Threshold, Surface and Invasion were awesome shows that had me on the edge of my seat. And not one gave us closure. I'm still furious about that. Since then, I've made a point to email a network whenever I like a show. (Jericho!) I'm so sick of ratings. Fans need to start telling the networks what we want to see, not what they want us to see.

I liked Threshold much better

I loved this show and was so diaappointed when it was cancelled, leaving us wondering how everything was going to work out. Oh well, maybe I'm in the minority--I was one of the 12 viewers who watched the other Shaun Cassidy show with Gary Cole--American Gothic, I think. Cole played the sheriff--who was also the devil, or a close relative of said demon. Really cool, dark show that also disappeared without any ending. There's really nothing else on the air that I can think of that's really creepy without being too "out there" (think Sci Fi channel).

That show was terrible, it actually got worse each week. I finally gave up about halfway into the season, I think.

Loved the show and hated that we didn't get a resolution to the cliffhanger, much in the same way the terrific NOW AND AGAIN (not ONCE AND AGAIN!) never got to resolve the finale cliffhanger. That's why viewers don't get involved in continuing storyline dramas anymore!

The show was good, but not great. I agree with ajprice that the plot simply moved along too slowly... but then by the end of the series it seemed like the plot was running out of steam.

I'm not sure how they could have extended the show to a few more seasons without going into the realm of the ridiculous. If they made it a fixed # of episodes from the start like HBO Rome or much of British TV, they could have given us 18-24 really good episodes with a solid plot arc, but trying to strongarm this into the traditional US style with 22 eps per year for X years... it was never going to work.

I loved this show - hated that they canceled it. the only good thing to come of that is Tyler ending up as Sock on Reaper, one of my favorite characters on TV right now.

This series was way too slow for me to keep interested in it, and thats saying something, Lost (up to series 2 before it went to Sky in the UK) and Heroes are shows I think are great and others think are slow going. It was really frustrating to be so many episodes in and they were still making the point over and over again that Mariel the doctor liked water A LOT... get on with it, I get that bit, she likes water!! Got bored and gave up watching in the end, so don't know how it was left.
