Sci Fi just aired part one of the series premiere tonight. I presume they'll be showing it all (including unaired episodes?) Seems to be phase two of their three part plan to pick up all of those major network, "let's see if we can capture the Lost crowd" alien invasion series, all cancelled after one season. I remember seeing ads for Surface sometime last year (an NBC show they already had the rights to). Now they've got CBS's Threshold. I wonder how long before they con ABC out of Invasion?

Anyway, I honestly wasn't that impressed. It seemed fairly cheesy. The characters were all rather cliche, and I can't say the whole "crack team of archetypal misfit nerds" hasn't been done to death in every disaster movie I've seen (major Armageddon vibes). Spiner was solid, but the rest of the acting was rather... B-movieish.

Does the series pick up after the first episode? Or is it a good example (whether you enjoyed it or not) of how the rest of the series goes?
