407.0. "The Invaders:miniseries junk" by SWAM1::MEUSE_DA () Tue Nov 14 1995 18:37

    
    
    
    
    
    Way back when, the original Invaders was not a bad show for
    it's time.
    
    This miniseries is terrible. It's a bore and all the f/x appear
    to be borrowed ideas from other films.
    
    A real yawner.

407.1DeJa Vu?VAXCPU::michaudMartian ChroniclesWed Nov 15 1995 00:153
	This is strange, I could of sworn George had created this topic
	already sometime yesterday, but now it's disappeared.  Could it
	be the Invaders are now in control of this conference .....

    	It might have been in the SF conference or something, because I
    	know I remember seeing something recently [somewhere].
    
407.3I agree--boringCSC32::MA_BAKERWed Nov 15 1995 10:146
    I agree. This was a big bore. I should have watched "Streets of Laredo"
    instead.  I really had high hopes for this one too, because I remember
    the old series as being pretty good.  I also like Scott Bakula, even
    though I keep finding myself expecting him to be Sam and he never is
    :-), so I was really looking forward to this show.  What a big
    disappointment.

	I don't read the SF conf., unless the Invaders are controlling
	me as well ....
407.5Thumbs DownSCAMP::MCCLELLAN_WWed Nov 15 1995 12:1031
    I have to agree with the previous noters; big letdown.Was good to see 
    Roy Thinnes again in his David Vincent role, and I thought Bakula and 
    Richard Thomas did well with what they were given, but overall too many 
    holes and too slow.
    
    What really set me off was the very end when...
    
    (SPOILER ALERT IN CASE SOMEONE TAPED IT AND HASN'T SEEN IT YET)
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Scott Bakula's character just walks away from all them cops.  Get real,
    even in LA.

407.6please, do me a favor and check for methane, pls?SWAM1::MEUSE_DAWed Nov 15 1995 12:4614
    
    ....how about the light over the truck that is supposed to be a
    spaceship or copter or whatever.
    
    "They are looking for us"
    
    (light goes away and comes back later)
    
    bad, really really bad f/x.

407.724 hour radio showBRAT::MCCLELLAN_WThu Nov 16 1995 12:585
    ... or the 24 hour a day talk radio host.  They showed him early in the
    series doing a morning show, then later a late night show.  Don't think
    so.
    
    
407.8rip off WMOIS::TARDUGNOSat Nov 25 1995 21:313
    I have to agree that this was a terrible remake. Bakula's acting
    Really stinks...I loved the original Invaders and Roy Thinnes
    was terrific but this was a ridiculous rip off.....
