I was really impressed with this episode. I have liked most of them, but this one really stood out for some reason. I liked the way they included the Roswell incident with the weather baloon. I also liked the comment on what the male grey was probing and his wife mentioned him being on the wrong end of one of his probes. This show was very entertaining to me.

Chode gets into some trouble with other aliens, and the setup revolves around the Roswell conspiracy and the government's classified expirements with aliens.

By marvelfan89, Sep 18, 2005

This a typical "Tripping the Rift" episode, has

great gags, politcally incorrect, has some well written lines, and above uses some social history

for satire. In this case, the cold case file

of "Roswell" that started on June 25th, 1947.

Of course the government (as shown by the military

in this episode) deny any accounts of alien eings, but that doesn't eliminate nor discredit

any theories. Anyhow, this episode was great, te whole southern farmer idiot in the middle was a bit lame, but gave soem laughs. The bulk of the laughs had to go to Chode deceiving the military General,dressed up a a doctor. Pure hilarity.

The aliens essentially were written as a disgruntled married couple who obviously were

at their wits end. It played out great, since

they blended in alien stereotypes about probes,

and stuff. Overall good episode.moreless
