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), Los Angeles Police Department Detective Matthew Sykes investigates crimes related to the Tentconese, 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.

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 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.
