For some reason I never got very involved in this show. I didn't hate it or anything, some of them are pretty good. And I loved it's primary predecessor The Night Stalker. But it was never one of those things that I had to see every week. That being said, I generally liked the non-alien episodes as much as the little green men ones.

The new film seems to be taking alot of flak for NOT being an alien invasion story and looking cheap. There were no effects shots in the trailer I watched earlier today, but frankly if the story and the suspense are there, I would certainly forgive such an oversight. Also, maybe they're just not giving away all the best parts of the film in the trailer (what a unique idea, maybe it'll catch on ). Can't help but suspect the success of this film is a gauge to decide if the fan base is still willing to come out and support this franchise before sinking a $100 million into another effects soaked alien plot.

Either way, I want to see it but I'm pretty stingy with my theater visits these days, this will most likely be a rental for me.
