Template:Use mdy dates Template:Use American English Template:Infobox television
Alien Nation: Body and Soul (original airdate: October 10, 1995) was the second television movie produced to continue the story after the cancellation of the Alien Nation television series. In this series (itself a spinoff of the 1988 film with James Caan), human Los Angeles Police Department Detective Matthew Sykes (Gary Graham) and his alien partner George Francisco (Eric Pierpoint) investigate crimes related to the Tenctonese, a race of aliens that have become stranded on Earth.[1]
Alien Nation: Body and Soul was written by Andrew Schneider, Diane Frolov, Renee & Harry Longstreet (previously novelized by Peter David), and was directed by Kenneth Johnson. In the film, Detective Matthew Sikes and his partner must investigate a scientist who is crossbreeding humans and Tenctonese.[2]
Plot
It follows the television series format of two parallel storylines. The first plot is about a seemingly human-Tenctonese hybrid child involved in a sinister experiment with a Newcomer (a euphemism for Tenctonese) scientist disguised as a human. The subplot is the budding relationship between Matt Sikes and his Tenctonese neighbor, Dr. Cathy Frankel. The relationship between Matt and Cathy was an ongoing theme of the Alien Nation television series.[3][4][5]
