	Alien Nation (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alien Nation was a science fiction television series, based on the movie of the same name.
		Several years later, with Fox now a going concern as a network, the story of Alien Nation was continued with several television movies reuniting the original cast.
		The show built a strong fan base, and popular demand led to "Dark Horizon", the episode that would have begun the second season, being novelized and adapted as a comic book.

	Alien Nation
		Also in the movie Alien Nation, the newcomers were supposedly as strong as 10 humans, but this strength would come and go on the TV series.
		Very few tv shows, in my humble opinion, never jump the shark, but i would have to classify Alien nation as one of those shows.
		Jumped when the alien let the human bang his wife, the male was the one who got pregnant, and the double vagina thing made no sense...but it made no sense in a way which confused the viewer so badly, the viewer thought he or she was the only one confused.

	Alien Nation DVD Review
		Rockne S. O'Bannon who has gone on to produce the popular science fiction TV series "Farscape" among other projects, wrote "Alien Nation." The film was developed into a short-lived television series on the Fox Network, which also followed the series up with four made for TV movies.
		The appeal of "Alien Nation" lies in the interaction between Sikes and Francesco and the richly textured culture and issues that were explored in greater detail and to a greater effect on the TV series.
		However, had their not been an "Alien Nation" feature film, sci-fi fans would have never gotten to enjoy the spin-offs that resulted so while not a perfect film, "Alien Nation" was good enough to inspire a fan base that still exists today.

	Eric Pierpoint
		Alien Nation has been a part of Pierpoint's life for more than ten years - since he saw Mandy Patinkin's performance in the original feature film, before anyone knew there was going to be a series.
		It's pure alien biology - that part is taken for granted because it's normal for George to be able to have a baby.
		Pierpoint's most recent foray into the world of aliens was for the upcoming Star Trek Voyager episode "Barge of the Dead," in which he plays Kortar - the disgraced Klingon condemned for eternity to ferry lost souls across the river of blood to Grethor.

	Alien Nation: television
		The perspective was that of the embarrassed, "normal" human companion, with the alien (or witch, or genie) as comic foil.
		As in the drive-in classics of the era, aliens on The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits were often invaders bent on destroying American life as we knew it.
		But when it comes to TV shows that feature aliens, the most memorable ones give us creatures who are not so "out there." Although we often go to the movies to see our fantasies played out, we've learned to rely on TV as a mirror, however distorted.

	TIME 100: David Sarnoff
		When Dick Solomon, the alien high commander in 3rd Rock from the Sun, declares, "God bless television," he is merely reflecting the feeling of most earthlings: that television is the most influential medium of the 20th century.
		Not only was he instrumental in creating both radio and television as we know them, he was also nearly clairvoyant in seeing how each medium would develop.
		RCA's general foresaw radio as a mass medium built around a network, then did it again for television, rearranging living rooms everywhere

	Reviews : Alien Nation books
		Set in 1995, Alien Nation is the story of humanity’s first contact with intelligent aliens — a peaceful race of former slaves known as the Tenctonese.
		Fans of Alien Nation have been waiting since May 1990 for the resolution of the season cliffhanger "Green Eyes." K. Jeter had the unenviable task of turning the already scripted finale, along with "Green Eyes," into a single cohesive book.
		For those who mourned the cancellation of Alien Nation, this new series of novels is not to be missed.

	Alien Nation
		The alien bodies recalled by several eyewitnesses were in fact a combination of injured pilots and lifelike crash dummies, according to the recently released Air Force report on Roswell.
		As the debate rages over whether or not aliens came to Earth that summer day in 1947, many Americans are likely to see a bald, bulging-eyed critter looking out at them from their television sets or living room coffeetables.
		Specifically, it was the knowledge that aliens did crash at Roswell and the subsequent opportunity to utilize their advanced technology, which gave humanity the power to unite and to finally set itself free.

		And of course, there are the anecdotes, like how Gary Graham (Detective Matt Sikes) saw his future wife for the first time when she was in her alien mien, and asked her out on the spot (pun intended).

	Alien Nation
		In spite of that Alien Nation is innovative in the science fiction genre, even if the innovation itself has been played out to nausea elsewhere.
		A routine cop thriller with a comedic sci-fi twist, Alien Nation> has two things working in its favor: Caan and Patinkin form a memorable duo, and the basic premise--as conceived by Rockne S. O'Bannon (who later developed the film as a TV series)--intelligently accounts for the sociological impact of an alien population.
		It's entertaining for a brisk 90 minutes, but in its attempt to be widely appealing, Alien Nation glosses over issues that might have made it more uniquely provocative.

	SoundtrackNet : Alien Nation (rejected) Soundtrack
		With the then-pending Russia House love theme as the main highlight, the score for Alien Nation is also appealing because it was performed by Goldsmith himself.
		Flourishes of the fantasy score, Legend, add to the atmosphere of intrigue and eerie otherworldliness while fragments of The Explorers's funky "alien" synths find their way into "Alien Dance" and "The Beach".
		It is with sheer inventiveness and borrowed bits and pieces of previous works that he manages to achieve a number of effects and moods without the use of real instruments.

	Alien Nation Review: TELEVISION REVIEW; An Immigration Debate's Real Issue
		The "Firing Line" anti-immigrationists would go further; they call for "a pause" of indefinite duration in all immigration to give the nation an opportunity to absorb those who are already here.
		Congress is about to grapple with a plan put forward just the other day by a Federal advisory commission that would reduce legal immigration gradually by one-third.
		Still, it's a peppy two hours that offers both the text and the subtext of a nasty argument that may be about to get nastier.

	Alien nation? - PittsburghLIVE.com
		The chance for the United States to be a nation of 1 billion later this century is almost certain given the willful indifference or studied neglect practiced by our government leaders.
		But between the politically irresponsible immigration proposals of the Bush administration, the cheap-labor crowd, and the ethnic lobbies, the die for passage of another amnesty for illegal aliens may well be cast after Nov. 2.
		These lawbreakers get away with flouting our existing immigration laws, as all illegal aliens do -- and our government is doing far too little about it.

		O'Bannon went on to write for the Alien Nation television series (which I was a huge fan of...), along with Farscape, SeaQuest, The Twilight Zone and Amazing Stories.

		I'm not sure if he's related to Dan O'Bannon (Dark Star, Alien, Heavy Metal, The Return of the Living Dead, Lifeforce, Invaders from Mars, Total Recall, Screamers...) but it fits.

		...Together O'Bannon, Graham, Patinkin and Caan created a rich tableau with Alien Nation, and it's easy to see why the film went on to spawn a TV series (albeit short-lived) and five television movies.
		Mandy Patinkin is the "newcomer," as the aliens are called, who is teamed with Caan to ferret out the perpetrators of a series of mysterious murders among the aliens."--Video Movie Guide
		...It's great the vibes between Caan and Patinkin are so good, 'cause the central plot, about aliens secretly manufacturing a narcotic drug they were originally fed on the slave ship that brought them to Earth, isn't very interesting.
