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?
Answer: 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.
