So, according to the series mythology, alien colonisation of Earth was set for approximately 2012 (or ten years or so after the final season). Now it's on it's way back. Planned, or happy coincidence?
This isn't the only series which set a future date for events, either.
Twin Peaks had it's "see you in 25 years" cliffhanger - the episode aired in 1991, and is due to return on Showtime in 2016...
