Never seen Lost but it must've been a big hit. During the Finals I've seen alot of commercials "wierd" series this fall.

One about an alien invasion. And one that looks to be about lurking monsters.
They both actually look cool.

The alien invasion on is on CBS and is titled "Threshold". It's an X-Files type series with Carla Gugino, Charles S. Dutton, and Brent Spiner from David Goyer (Batman Begins, Blade Trilogy). It looks "decent". Much better than what NBC has coming...

You can see a four-minute preview of Threshold here:

The "lurking monsters" one is a total Abyss rip-off on NBC titled "Fathom". It probably won't last the whole season.

Then there's even more than I thought.

The commercials just ran. One's called Invasion the other Night Stalker or Dark Stalker, something like that.

It's Night Stalker. It's a remake of the series that inspired Chris Carter to do the X-Files.

Anything dragon related? That would get me in front of the TV again.

TRUTH!

Damnit, how easy would it be to build a cheap, flammable set and then just set the whole thing on fire? The special effects do themselves! And everybody loves dragons! One day...

ABC also has an alien-invasion show, creatively titled Invasion.

Dragonheart came out nearly a decade ago. That was promising, and the Discovery "documentary" (although there was nothing credible in it) was pretty exciting. So what's taking so long?
