@Kerolden I wasn't talking about slavery in general. I was talking about the music which has some african touch to it, and with the slave-theme already there... Well, those two things together just makes one's mind wander just a bit. Even my mum was mortified.
If there was a different theme tune for the series, I would not have reacted as I did.
@JCubDK i understand,honestly when i first heard the music it didn't seem african,i guess because i havent heard much african music. this series does actually have racial themes(the prejudice and bigotry that the aliens face), but i always thought it was done in an honest and understanding way,not exploitative.
Wow, I'm so glad this is on YouTube like I figured it would be. But holy shit, I used to watch this show religiously. I can't believe it wasn't on longer. Thanks for uploading the intro.
@MoriChan328 I feel ya one night after watching 21 jump street and something else came on in it's place can't remember I'm like wtf happened to my perfect TV line up that show should have had 10 seasons or more or hell a permanent place on FOX next to the animation domination block
I used to love this show. Eric Pierpoint was great, but looking at him and remembering the show, Rene Auberjonois would have also done a really great job in that role.
I like how people are going on about how "powerful" and "innovative" District 9 is, and calling it "A Completely New Direction for an Alien-based science fiction plot"
Yeah....D9, while not _terrible_, can't really hold a candle to any given episode of Alien Nation, even if you forgive it for blatantly resorting to allegorizing the Apartheid, and doing so in _very_ poor taste.(Which is...hard to do)
@Eldeecue - I haven't seen District 9, but I suspect that people - even if they're only a small group - will be discussing " Alien Nation " after District 9 has vanished from movie goers' & video - viewers' collective memory.
Fox had GOLD in that series, & they settled for mostly mediocrity or even dreck after cancelling it.
@knoxvilleguy2 Eh, you should see District 9. It's worth the Netflix rental price, I promise. It's just one of those movies that really could have gone from "good" to "great" with a few very obvious ..fixes. It _has_ a good story, _has_ good acting, good characters....but it just...feels it has to make itself into a cringe worthy Apartheid allegory somehow--it's like if they made a (good) movie about us mistreating an alien race called the "Djoos" and putting them into death camps.
@Eldeecue - Hmmm..... An alien race called the " Djoos ", & humans are like " Nazis ", I'm guessing. Subtle. Just like " AVATAR " where the Na'vi were like the pure unspoiled natives in the " New World " & the Terran humans were the evil, resource - hungry, disease - riddled Europeans. I've got the deluxe DVD edition, but I've ALREADY heard so much abt. " AVATAR " that I'm biased w / out seeing more than a minute of it.
Like M.A.S.H., this show was one of the few adapted movie-to-television shows that expanded and improved upon the original. One of the best shows on TV in the 90's and sadly unwatched by many.
Hopefully with the new revamp (or relaunch?) that will change. =]
what is the name of the new movie coming out? it is a remake of alien nation. i saw the trailer during the new terminator movie, but can't remember the name. something GREEN.
Some days I agree with Sykes at 1:34

@JCubDK always associating slavery with black people is more racist(i assume that's what you're implying, this series is racist)
