I caught this last night and really enjoyed it.

It’s a half fiction half documentary of how an alien invasion _could_ take place. What makes this series so interesting is the producers of this show did their homework. They got the right “science-y type” people together and throw out one possible scenario for an alien invasion.

They put into it as much sound science into it as possible.

Anyway, this is season two. I can’t believe season one came and went with out my knowledge. I’m a sucker for this kind of stuff!

Also, kudos to the science contributors to this show. What creative minds. Hollywood would do good to hire these guys for their next sci-fi block buster.
