5. I didn't actually like the book.

I know that is blasphemy. But I kept waiting for the big alien invasion, the proof that everyone who welcomed the changes were suckers and then basically nothing happened. I guess I have become too addicted to things like BSG, Alien Nation, and other evil alien sagas.

The TV show was OK. I thought they did a pretty good job of trying to make the book interesting to a 21st Century, internet- born and raised audience. It wasn't great though.

I much preferred the premiere of The Colony (once again, an evil alien scenario . . . boy have the writers of that show got my number . . .).
