    I can't for the life of me understand why such an OUTSTANDING show was cancelled. I feel as though I read a book with the last chapter torn out and will never know the ending. PLEASE bring this show back on the air somehow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's very unfair to take it away when it had so many fans who were addicted to it and miss it so much!!

    I love the cast, but the storyline is too slow for my taste. There is more action in Threshold and I prefer the twist in the Threshold storyline to the "we don't know what's out there or who is possesed" premise of Invasion.

    I can't believe Invasion is not coming back!!! It was such an awesome show! I'm so pissed at ABC. Shame on you. You would rather show garbage than an excellent show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've been looking forward to the season premier all summer and just found out there isn't going to be one. I am so disappointed! I watched it faithfully every week and thought it a great show with a great cast. Another show worth watching bites the dust!

    Increditble story, believable cast, endless suspense...CANCELLED- that's how much ABC cares about it's viewers. I hope the game shows work out better for them- I know I had enough of that inconsiderate network.

    I've watched the first 2 episodes. It's decent entertainment. I like how they haven't revealed really ANY of their secrets thus far. Are these people alien replacements? Are the human? We don't think so, but we're not sure. Hopefully the payoff is worthwhile.

    dont ask me why i like this show, kuz i've seen it all before in movies, and this seasons other television serie's. like threshold and surface. but this show does the best job of not showing us what the alien looks like, just by, as the critics said " the dread and anticipation" of the series that makes us, and me, keep watching.

    The only season primier I was looking forward to this fall. I used to watch part of Lost just because it was on before Invasion, but now I won't be watching anything on ABC.

    hollow characters and stupid writing, but it has a decent premise, which just isn't enough for me. ABC did well pairing it with LOST though.......and by the way, people who complain about not having a new episode each week need to settle down and be reasonable. You act like you've never watched a tv show before. It happens to all shows, that's just the way it is!

    Bring back Invasion!!! What is taking so long? Thought the Evidence show be good, but it's not. They need to give clues that mean something to solving the case not junk clues. Invasion is a far better show, nice try now bring back the good stuff. Cast is great, sci-fi is great, you have a winner, just keep it going!

    I loved this show!!! I can't believe it has been cancelled. I want to know the end of the story!!! The least thing ABC should do, is make a 2 hour conclusion movie. I had this show as number "1" to record on my DVR and will leave it as #1 just incase someone at ABC or even another station will continue the story. I am so disappointed. Sure wish ABC would find another night or time I loved this show!!! I can't believe it has been cancelled. I want to know the end of the story!!!

    1 minute per hour of special effects, weak characters, slow plot, no amusing bits to counterpoint, and a strange feeling of deja-vu... It can only get better, sadly i won't be there to watch the progress.

    Why do i care about a disfunctional family fighting aliens. I was bored to death and had to turn off the pilot halfway into it.

    How could you cancel this series. It kept me hanging each episode. at least have another few episodes to answer all the questions and give it a good ending. please

    Borderline over-the-top moments threaten the sense of verisimilitude usually expected in prime-time drama.

    Like ''Lost"... the mystery is provocatively open-ended and, assuming the writing continues to be good, absorbing.

    It may be hard to believe that "Invasion's" premiere could be touching in the context of Katrina, and effective as a sci-fi drama. But that is the power of high-quality storytelling.
