Comments on: Invasion: Hey, we’re not stupid https://www.yourish.com/2005/12/07/407 Cutting straight to the point Thu, 08 Dec 2005 16:07:58 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Drew W https://www.yourish.com/2005/12/07/407/comment-page-1#comment-1241 Thu, 08 Dec 2005 16:07:58 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/?p=407#comment-1241 I’ve been watching Invasion too. Frankly, I liked the new plot development that featured the man and woman out to uncover the truth about the invasion as underground operatives. (To keep up with Lost, the woman was Iraqi — a new ethnic casting fad?) But frankly, when they asked us to buy that go-chainsaw-your-new-arm business, I think the show may have jumped the glowing stingray-shaped thing. Only if the bad cop had hypnotized or otherwise controlled the mind of the regenerated cop could this have made sense. The way the show did it, though, was unconvincing to say the least. Maybe the writers will knock off the four-martini lunches in the future — if the show has a future.

And up until that point, the episode had really been great. We met the anti-alien underground and had a nice shock when the one-armed cop revealed his regrown arm. And in what was the first truly funny moment in the show, the now-two-armed cop delightedly bantered with himself about his amazing new limb as he shot baskets, with the sinister police chief chatting nervously with the sinister minister about how they’re supposed to explain a magically re-grown arm. It was really a delightful scene.

And to top off all this bad news, Threshold has been canceled.

Any chance the aliens are Jewish, and they come from the Mikvah in Outer Space?
