From the Universal Chat with Rob: MoonDancer asks "Is the Xena Staff working overtime to deal with Lucy's appearance in Grease?" Rob_Tapert says "No, the Xena staff worked overtime last year because of Lucy's injury on the Tonight Show. They shined like the golden scribes they are"

The show was the brainchild of ‘X-Files’ and ‘Millenium’ veterans Glen Morgan and James Wong and it was launched as sort of a competitor to Paramount’s ‘Star Trek’ cash-cow. Though it was a great show and unfortunately crossed premises with Paul Veerhoven’s then-forthcoming ‘Starship Troopers‘. But S:AAB was its own special animal.

The X Files is indeed an accurate translation of its small screen sibling. The show often consists of B movie plots reworked with some contemporary science-fiction technobabble, and the movie is basically a reworked version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, cleverly disguised beneath a plethora of extended suspense scenes set in various lengthy, steam or smog filled corridors and very little actual plot. There are plenty of shadowy villains and some rather unnecessary violent and gory scenes of confrontation with alien life forms, but underneath all the slow burn, there's little real heat other than that generated by the performances of its leads. It's the story of the pod people spiced with big budget set pieces which have no real purpose except to do things that couldn't be done on television, and at the end of the day it is not even remotely as chilling as the greatest sci-fi conspiracy yarn of them all.
