It's 1999, and as the end of the millenium approaches, people are attempting to find spiritual enlightenment. But a few people want to skip all the work that entails, and a holy Tenktonese relic in the hands of a heretic is giving them a shortcut. But it's not quite as easily controlled as she says.

Great addition to a great series which began with Kenneth Johnson's brilliant adaption of the theatrical movie to TV series format. The characters are believable, well-acted, and the entire concept thought-provoking and enlightening--as well as enjoyable. The "aliens-among-us" concept allowed talented screenwriters and cast to explore topics of current social interest and cause viewers to re-examine their own perspectives, values, and (even) prejudices in a constructive and non-threatening way.
I EAGERLY await the day when this--and the other "Alien Nation" TV movies that spun-off from the TV series--will be available to fans and collectors in a boxed, DVD format!! (Studio--please take note!).
