Incursion

I've been watching "Surface", "Invasion" and "Threshold" and it occured to me that it would be far more interesting if all 3 were facets of a 3-pronged incusion by some diabolically clever aliens. In "Threshold" the characters are government agents that are at times ruthless in order to cover up the invasion and in the other 2 ruthless government agents are involved in covering those invasions up. Also water/the ocean plays a part in all the shows. If only the networks were that clever letting the 3 shows intertwine to really hook us in *sigh* I don't actually love the shows as none of the characters truly grab me (except maybe Nim--does he count?) and I'm afraid one or all the shows will be cancelled before I know what's really going on!!! I still remember years ago the frustration when "Prey" was suddenly cancelled leaving the Adam Storke character in a cage, me with no answers and Deborah Messing free to become Grace *g*
These shows have some BtVS crossover fanfic potential as I can picture Graham, Riley and Sam becoming involved. This is especially true for "Surface" as Nim and his kin could be considered demons. In the past ignorant superstitous humans would've called any non-human a demon regardless of where it came from--outer space or another dimension. Maybe demons are actually aliens.

A Favorite Fic: Quantum Xander (S/X)

jameschick's "Quantum Xander" (http://www.geocities.com/kiwileesa2000/jameschick) is a fascinating romp across parallel worlds with Xander finding and losing Spikes along the way. You see he made this wish, "I wish I knew how my life could have been, if I had made different choices." and we all know what happens when you make a wish in Sunnydale. It's a long tale (75 chapters) that takes a year's time to Xander though only 2 1/2 months to the Scoobies left behind and at the end he is mourning the loss of the Spike he loves but who is not the Spike of his own reality. However fear not for Jameschick has written a sequel "Quantum Xander II: In the Wake of the Curse" (65 chapters) where things become really complicated for our bois.
Jameschick is a talented writer and has written a remarkable saga. These are fun fics though there are dark moments and like Lay's potato chips, it's hard to eat (read) just one (chapter) so make sure you can block off enough time to read them.
