"Invasion" Tv Series creator Shaun Cassidy, a new Joss Whedon ?

Monday 29 May 2006, by Webmaster

Question: As a fellow Invasion fan, what did you think of the series finale? I thought it was pretty close to perfect - it would have been perfect if we had a second season to look forward to. So much action, so many questions answered and so left unanswered. The possibility that Larkin would start the second season as a hybrid - along with the subtext I read into Russell and Mariel’s relationship - promised more emotion along with the sci-fi for a second year. Now that CW has passed on picking up the series, do you think Shaun Cassidy and company might pull a Joss Whedon and release a feature movie to tie up the loose ends and continue the story? - Ben

Matt Roush: For my analysis of Invasion’s first-rate finale, check out my Dispatch from the morning after. As to Invasion’s future, it’s an awfully long shot. The show would have to do well in the afterlife: in repeat viewings on Sci Fi or wherever, and in DVD sales for sure, which is what helped Joss Whedon make his dream of a movie version of Firefly a reality. This would be an awfully expensive proposition, so I wouldn’t count on it. But I’d be even more excited about this than I was about Serenity, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

    To compare Invasion to anything Whedon has done is simply insulting. Invasion had absolutely nothing going for it.

    it was by far the best new sci-fi offering of the season. and it had rather solid ratings, sad to see it go...and rather surprised. it was never going to be the new Lost, so why the network disappointment?

    I bought the DVD as soon as I heard it was available. I spent an entire week of evenings watching all 22 episodes as well as the extra material. As far as endings go I don’t see how it could have been any better. Tom was faced with an almost impossible decision and like most decisions in life it was a choice between two evils. He could let Larkin die and deal with his guilt and Russell’s animosity/hatred or he could save her life the only way available to him and still deal with Russell’s animosity/hatred. I don’t know if this is what Mr. Cassidy was thinking at the time, but it’s what I felt in the last moments of the show. If Invasion had a problem it’s that it was to intellectual for most viewers.
