Notes

add »
Ilse von Glatz returns after a two-episode hiatus and her Advocate has been promoted to Number 1. This is also the first episode she appears in without either of the two other actors (Richard Comar and Michael Rudder) with whom shared the role as the Advocacy from the beginning. (edit)
This episode is considered more or less to be a clip show. Reused footage is taken from the 1953 film as well as previous episodes "The Resurrection", "Thy Kingdom Come", "A Multitude of Idols", "Eye for an Eye", "The Second Seal", "Goliath is my Name", "To Heal the Leper", "The Good Samaritan", "Dust to Dust", "He Feedeth Among the Lillies", "The Prodigal Son", and "The Meek Shall Inherit". (edit)

Quotes

Advocate Horek: (re: television) Why do I like looking at this?
Advocate Oshar: I do not know, but I like it, too. (edit)
Harrison: The most frightening thing of all, they've absolutely no regard for human life. Not since Nazi Germany has the world witnessed such callous and brutal treatment of human beings. They mutilate, they maim... To them, we're an inferior species and they treat us like one. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Trivia: We learn some new information about the aliens in this episode: they are presumed to be unable to possess children or animals due to mass occupancy and that they have no skeletal system, instead, their body structure is supported by web-like muscles. (edit)
It seems odd that every topic of telltale signs of an alien never brings up radiation sores. Harrison and all never mention what has been helpful in spotting aliens in the past. Even if no one there had been inhabited long enough to develop any, it would still prove useful for the other delicates to know. (The only explanation would be that the aliens had inexplicable success with combating this, but later episodes refute this possiblity.) (edit)
Another overlooked fact is that when the Blackwood Team is prepared to examine the other delicates' blood, there is no reference of a Geiger counter that has proven valuable before. This would obviously narrow down the suspect and not be as intrusive as a blood test. (edit)
