Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA closeup of David Vincent's California driver's license indicates that his date of birth is October 2, 1934 (making Vincent four years older than actor Roy Thinnes), he is 5'9", weights 170 pounds, and has brown eyes and brown hair. His home address is listed as 4022 Laguna Street, Santa Barbara, California 93101.
- GoofsDavid Vincent's driver license lists him as 5' 9" tall with brown hair and brown eyes. Moments later, the computer describes him to newly-arrived aliens as 5' 11" tall with sandy hair. Close-ups clearly show Vincent has blue eyes, not brown.
- Quotes
Male Alien: [One of the classrooms at Cortland Academy is set up as a nightclub. The dialog is vintage 1967] . Look, if you ask me, we outta drop the Bomb on China, before they drop it on us. I don't know why we're taking all this pushing around.
Female Alien: You better believe it, baby! These new cops are all power-hungry. We keep playing ball with them and this country's gonna turn into a real police state! Is something wrong, Doctor?
Dr. Reynard: Much too passionate. Fanatics never influenced anyone. Now, if we are going to poison their minds, sow the seeds of hate and destruction - we must be convincing, sincere. Now you've learned the theory - will you please put it into practice!
Female Alien: Yes, Doctor.
Alien #1: I mean, why make such a big scene about LSD or pot? It's groovy! Who are they to tell us how to live?
Dr. Reynard: Now that is very good!
Naturally, David gets wind of Midlands Academy and he infiltrates it...and finds it's training aliens by using mind control techniques. But to do what? And why the indoctrination? And, when David learns about the pilot, he spends the rest of the episode trying to find him.
While it does seem odd the aliens would rely on a human pilot and a plane already about 30 years old instead of some other form of transportation, it is a very good episode. Paranoid (as you'd hope) and exciting....especially with what they are doing at the indoctrination center! Very much worth your time and very well written.
By the way, it is interesting that Susan Oliver stars as the pilot's wife, as in real life she was a pilot herself. She even flew solo over the Atlantic the same year she made this episode.
