Quite. Much of the cast was better than the material.

The one big disappointment was the material written for Kari Matchett.
She's been a favorite actress since I saw her on "Earth: Final
Conflict". She was in the ensemble cast of "Nero Wolfe" playing whatever
female character they needed that week; great fun.

But the "Invasion" writers had no idea what to do with her character and
gave her incredibly weak stuff.
