This series is an example of scifi at its best it entertains and educates. It is very well written, directed, coriographed and acted out. If tou haven't expierenced it yet the show is out on dvd just go to http://www.geocities.com/illudium_pew36/index.html for the full scoop. If you realy love this show help the series return!! There is interest on the part of FOX, Scifi and even NBC to bring back ALIEN NATION as a weekly series with the only problem being feer of a fan base to sell commercial time to. If we want it back we must prove it now!! Start sening letters, postcards, emails and phone calls to fan the flames under the powers that bes' butts. If anyone can provide addresses and phone numbers to the powers that be at these networks please list them A.S.A.P please!!! Thank You!

Have you made any progress on the wiki so far? And what about the forum? I'm a little surprised that with all the forums and websites out there dedicated to TV series I haven't found one on Alien Nation yet.

There is or was an Alien Nation apperciation group in England at one point. You could look it up I'm sure. It is a genuinly puzzling mistake that this superbly 'realised' show was cancelled. The movies were excellent but five were not enough.... These should have prompted either more stories in a film format or another season....

Tim Minear has a real hit and miss record. I would KILL to see Ron Moore's take on Alien Nation, but with Caprica his hands are full.

I don't like this "They're looking for more grounded sci-fi and close-ended episodes, and at the heart of 'Alien Nation,' it's a cop movie. It's grounded. And it has a tremendous amount of dramatic possibilities and humor."

Close ended in my interpenetration is they are not creating a story arc across seasons which I'm hooked on with BSG, Bablyon 5, etc.
