Thirty years after the premiere of his first television series, Harve Bennett's last television series was released. Invasion America was a prime time animated series about a high school boy who finds himself in the middle of an intergalactic civil war.

In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, Mike and John take a look at Bennett's final series. We discuss his ability to adapt to the times, the bold nature of serialized cartoons, and his collaboration with TNG writer Michael Reaves. We also ponder the extent of Steven Spielberg's involvement with the show.
