Invasion

The new Lost?

[RichUK]

I watched the first 40 mins or so, flicked over at the ads and never went back.

So I'd say, no.

Sounds just the same as Lost then...

Seems a bit slow, although thats not necessarily a criticism. Lost can be a bit slow, but is fabulous if you can maintain an attention span for more than 5 mins

Isn't that what the ads were for?!

[fozzi]

so far so good, will defo give it a couple of weeks to see how it develops.

episode 3 was way better than the first two. needs more 'jump' moments though. and perhaps a bit more nudity.

I see a new title, hear a yank accent and switch off, they're all the same

Nude aliens?! Nervy, I salute you!

[YamR1,V64motion]

so just to clarify, Lost has now finished?

Last episodes are this week.

Invaison's not that bad, been downloading the shows as they air in the states. A bit more of a slow burner and you don't see anything alieny until ep 9, maybe ep 10. But not all that bad honestly.

Agreed; episode 9 and 10 are where it starts to get interesting, but it's got the advantage over most series like this in that all of the episodes I've seen so far do at least have some new disclosure every episode, however minor, rather than verging off on a tangent completely for an episode or two.

Same here, great start and then..........*yawn* *click* computer time

[anonymous-user]

the adverts about 6 minutes into the 1st episode nearly did for me but then persevered through the first 3... roll on the aliens, but now i know i have 6 episodes to wait- bummer. Is there going to be any nudity in the meantime to compensate? :-)

[zoom_jones]

Watched the first 2 and thought yeh not bad. Channel flicking era we're in though it was hard to keep watching, didn't lead me in like an old episode of X-Files.

Big storm, some lights, cheap special effects and a cheesy 'love square' with good and evil developing.

Possessed by an alien? Of course she is, she smells differently!? ooo err.

*flick*

[havoc]

I missed the first 2 minutes, but felt they didn't introduce the characters anywhere near enough - can't remember more than about 2 names, oh, except for that damn cat of course!!!

Will give it a chance, see where it goes, but so far it's not amazingly well written.

I tried to get excited, I truly did - I loved X-Files like there was no tommorrow, and I was hoping this could be the same.

But adverts 6 minutes into the programme made me wander off, and I never came back.

I agree, thats the reason X-Files worked so well - led you and kept you there - this and Lost as well just drives me up the wall...

And don't get me started on the 118 (and whatever is sponsoring Invasion) adverts - these repetitive adverts turn me off the product being advertised - surely the markerting bods must realise this?

No, around the 9th episode of season 2 on ABC i believe.
