Abstract: In 2005, three U.S. television networks launched science fiction

shows about alien invasion that commented critically on conditions in the
United States after 9/11. Although their close alignment with films from the
1950s limited the efficiency of their critique, their conservative context re-
situated them as moderately oppositional texts.

Keywords: 1950s, alien invasion, Bush years,

Although 1950s science fiction emphasized the stability

To the extent that alien invasion is not the cause of
instability but that it takes place under preexisting
conditions of instability, the contemporary shows reiterate
on a grander scale the point they make about marriage,
parenthood, and the nuclear family: that social disorder
can be, but does not have to be, an effect of invasion.

[T]he range of political content in Invasion, Threshold, and
Surface is, by and large, that of 1950s science fiction. . . .
Their primary political significance consists in the gesture
of announcing these historical origins and thus asserting
an analogy between the 1950s and the Bush years.
