I came across this totally by accident on late night TV back in 1988-1989. It was on right after the "Friday the 13th" TV series. I watched and had two feelings. It WAS good but it was also one of the most repulsive things I've seen on TV. The violence and action were extreme--nothing was held back. I know this was fiction but it was so in your face it got disturbing. Some good acting made it even harder to stomach. When they got to the plot about stealing human babies to do--something (I forgot what)--I stopped watching. It's years later, but I have never shaken the image of a screaming nude baby in an aliens claws and the mother sitting a home and crying next to the empty cradle. Yeah--it's fiction but there ARE limits and this one went way overboard. I'm giving it a 7 nonetheless--it was a strong, interesting TV series. I'm not going to give it a bad vote just for a few minutes that bothered me.
