For those that would care to know, like I did. :smirk:
From SciFi.com-

Invasion Back With A Bang

Tyler Labine, who plays Dave on ABC's Invasion, told SCI FI Wire that his alien-invasion theorist character will be vindicated when the series returns from its hiatus on April 19 and promised that many questions will be answered on the way to the season-ending cliffhanger. "There's some different sides of Dave coming out here," Labine said in an interview. "Let me just say this: I can only be pushed so far. And I think I finally snap. It's in a very positive way, but I finally take some initiative and grow a bit stronger of a backbone. Let me just say some familial things push me to the edge."

Labine added: "I have a lot of things coming up with Deputy Sirk, the one-armed deputy, and he's very strongly involved in my vindication."

Labine's Dave, who was considered a bit of a conspiracy nut in the beginning of the series, quickly set forth his own theory about the changes in many of the local residents after Hurricane Eve hit the town of Homestead, Fla. Those changes involved so-called "extraterrestrial biological entities," or EBEs.

The series is headed for "the cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers," Labine said. "We are steam-rolling towards the pinnacle of the show. The episodes we've shot have been so unbelievably well-planned throughout the whole season. There's stuff coming up that I didn't even remember that we shot. And it's being tied in so cleverly. ... It was like things that you felt were insignificant or out of place early on, they weren't. They're being tied in all over the place, and we are shooting the finale right now. It's got a really, really huge cliffhanger shocker at the end."

Labine confirmed that it all has to do with another hurricane that's headed back toward Homestead. The new hurricane is "going to be like Eve, only we know what's coming this time, so we expect the s--t is going to hit the fan with this hurricane, and people are preparing for that. We can see hybrids preparing for it. We can see humans preparing for it. And we are preparing in two very different ways."

While there's no word from ABC regarding a possible second season for Invasion, Labine is hopeful. Despite the cliffhanger, he promises a lot of "burning questions" will be answered. The writers have "had to incorporate that into the writing of the last few episodes with just the possibility that, if this is the end, you don't want leave people just, like, more frustrated than entertained." ABC will announce whether or not Invasion will be picked up in mid-May.

I guess they want us to watch the show ... I've already got it programmed in my TIVO.

I read that ABC is ordering something like 34 new pilots for next season, and unless they renew "Invasion" or the being-jerked-around "Commander in Chief," none of this year's pilots will survive their first season. I wish they'd give Invasion a chance to grow an audience, it's a cool show.

Well I watch it! I watched all of the series to begin with, but this was the one that caught my attention and keeps me coming back for more.

I haven't heard that yet. TVGuide.com almost certainly would've had something.
Don't get me wrong, it wouldn't surprise me if they did cancel it, but it would've popped up at TVG by now.

And I actually just read CW is quite interested if/when ABC shelves it.

But networks are "interested" in other properties all the time. It's *so* rare when they actually do move. (Yeah, I'm talking to you Mitch Hurwitz...)

It's listed among all the ABC stuff in that first paragraph. This was the first webpage to report Arrested Development was being cancelled. This is from LA Weekly. The offical word comes on Tuesday.

Variety reports it cancelled.

Just in time for it to get interesting. I have to say, I really trodded along with watching it. It was trying to be LOST in it's style of unfolding, but it was just going too slow.

Then all of a sudden it really picked up and now it's great. Figures that it would get cancelled.

Crap. Crappity crap-crap, crappity crap-crap-crap. :angry

:(

I just happened to catch a full 10 hour Invasion marathon a few weeks back,
and I taped it all! I've been taping all the shows up to now, with the hopes
of finally sitting to watch the whole thing...

Well, at least Supernatural was picked up for a second season. :o

Well, there have been rumors that the CW (WB and UPN in an unholy union) was looking to grab Invasion if ABC shitcanned it. AND since Aquaman looks to be tied up at the moment (see superherohype.com and do a search for Aquaman), I'm sure they'd like to have another show to fall back on.

The CW is only going to have two strong shows to carry the network right now - and those are Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls. A good portion of Gilmore Girls' fanbase is vowing not to watch next year (I'm watching) because of the major stupidity that happened this season and the ratings for last season were not very good (due to said stupidity).

The CW needs another strong show, so I wouldn't be surprised if they picked up Invasion. The WB/UPN have always been fans of Sci-Fi anyway.

Um...I think they're relying more on Smallville and Supernatural as their two big shows.

Honestly, until I saw a commercial for it last week, I thought Gilmore Girls had been cancelled a few years ago. I thought the same thing had happened to Veronica Mars after the show's dismal ratings last season.


But then again, I never watched those shows or paid them much attention, so what do I know?

I completely forgot about Supernatural! I don't know about smallville being one of their big shows (and this could just be because I find the show insipid), but Supernatural definitely. I hope to catch it in reruns this summer.

And yeah, GG is still a critical darling (except this season with everyone going WTF?). However, the actors' contracts are up after next season and I don't think either Lauren Graham or Alexis Bledel are interested in renewing - 7 years is long enough. But, there have been many articles stating that Dawn Ostroff is counting on GG as one of the shows that will give the CW a strong launch.

Supernatural had it's season finale already right?

Yup. Two weeks ago.

I was reading a posting today about Invasion and a person said :

"apparantly Invasion ended its run on a very sad cliffhanger ending that will now unfortunatly never be resolved... d'ohh.

R.I.P. Invasion - you will be missed."

What is this poster talking about. I missed the show.

The new CW does not have Invasion on the schedule. It's gone.

Larkin was critically wounded and Underlay took her to the water, figuring that hybridization was the only way to save her. We see him holding her in the water, but there are no lights nearby.
Cut to Russell and Mariel discovering Tom's car at the side of the road. They get out and ask him what happened. He appears to be in shock. He turns around and we see that he is no longer holding Larkin.

That episode pissed me off in so many ways.

Yeah I liked Underlay and Russell going Wild Bunch on everybody, but how come nobody fought back from being shoved in the water. If it's me, I'm going for knees to the groin, fingers in the eye. I'm in beserker mode. There are more of them then there are hybrid soldiers.


I also liked Dave coming in with the cavalry. It's about time he got to do some cool stuff.


Overall, tepid reception from the Fastcar household. Downer ending, too, if it doesn't come back on CW.

Great new show and one heck of a twist towards the end with Larkin I was glued to my tv, I forgot about my beer for about ten minutes just watching it, I seriously hopes CW picks this up or the Sci-Fi channel.

Make of this what you will -- the artwork on the DVD boxed set says it's "The Complete First Season," not "The Complete Series." Odd, don't you think?
