Being on the Sci-Fi Channel email list, I have been inundated by emails urging me to watch "Taken", so I had to take a gander. I ordinarily like science-fiction, but this was just plain confusing. I found it hard to distinguish between the different families and some of the male leads (aside from Michael Moriarty). I tried my best to pay attention, but I just don't know where they're attempting to go. It looks good from a visual standpoint, but it's too bad they didn't bother to make it better story-wise (and clearer) and more compelling acting. *Sigh* Give me any episode of the original 'Twilight Zone' any day for top-notch writing and production (with the added bonus of grainy black and white helping a creepy atmosphere).

If you can find it in your area, watch "First Wave." An "alien-flick" that's light-years ahead of this dull stuff, and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, on top of it. As a non-TV watcher, I found myself dropping what I was doing at 2:00 PM central time to go spend an hour in front of the boobtube for my date with "First Wave."
