Jakson The Invaders Review: The Betrayed – Fusion Patrol Ep. 809 täydellinen litterointi

clearly been an item over the last three months, despite the fact that 00:02:58.129 --> 00:03:01.194 Vincent has been clearly preoccupied elsewhere. 00:03:02.008 --> 00:03:05.827 Susan returns home, only to be met by her father's personal secretary. 00:03:06.059 --> 00:03:09.548 She's an invader, and she wants to know where the tape is. 00:03:09.769 --> 00:03:17.019 And she has the dirt on Susan's father that will ruin him if she spills the beans. 00:03:17.670 --> 00:03:22.939 Act 2. Vincent meets Taft. The language cannot be decoded, but mathematics are 00:03:22.939 --> 00:03:26.929 universal, and it appears that the tape contains latitude and longitude data, 00:03:26.929 --> 00:03:30.633 similar to what is used by NASA to guide in spacecraft for landing. 00:03:32.021 --> 00:03:36.374 The first set of coordinates is on Carver Oil's property, very near to where 00:03:36.374 --> 00:03:38.023 Vincent saw the saucer land. 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.528 Susan has had a talk with her father and realizes the dirt on him is true. 00:03:42.871 --> 00:03:48.217 He stole a formula from his partner that made him rich, and his partner committed suicide as a result. 00:03:48.681 --> 00:03:52.794 When the secretary approaches Susan again, she has no choice but to agree to 00:03:52.794 --> 00:03:54.068 get the information from Vincent. 00:03:54.724 --> 00:03:58.004 They meet for dinner, although Vincent was already supposed to be waiting in 00:03:58.004 --> 00:03:59.960 the restaurant for a phone call from Taft. 00:04:00.373 --> 00:04:04.099 Vincent can tell something is wrong with Susan, but before he can find out what, 00:04:04.384 --> 00:04:09.204 he gets the phone call and, rather stupidly I might add, he speaks the location 00:04:09.204 --> 00:04:11.803 and time of the meeting out loud, then leaves. 00:04:12.238 --> 00:04:14.372 Susan calls the invaders and tells them. 00:04:15.416 --> 00:04:18.841 Act 3. The invaders get there first and pretend to be Vincent. 00:04:19.114 --> 00:04:22.876 What they do not know is that Taft has sent his younger brother to meet Vincent. 00:04:23.479 --> 00:04:27.364 They beat up the brother and, failing to find the tape, they run him over with 00:04:27.364 --> 00:04:31.392 their car. Vincent arrives to find the injured man and takes him to hospital. 00:04:32.486 --> 00:04:35.824 Taft's brother dies, and Taft wants to get the people who killed him. 00:04:36.364 --> 00:04:41.878 Vincent tells him who they really are, and while skeptical, Taft goes along with him. 00:04:42.389 --> 00:04:46.231 Vincent realizes that Susan betrayed him, so he goes to see her to tell her 00:04:46.231 --> 00:04:49.274 that her actions got a man killed, and he leaves. 00:04:49.880 --> 00:04:54.981 Act 4. Taft is checking out Vincent's story, and he's convinced enough to take 00:04:54.981 --> 00:04:58.216 what he's got to NASA and get them to stake out the coordinates. 00:04:58.761 --> 00:05:02.738 Carver's secretary is unhappy with the information they've received from Susan. 00:05:03.144 --> 00:05:07.995 She acknowledges that it's not her fault, but she'll have to try again. 00:05:08.669 --> 00:05:14.304 The secretary's superiors have made it very clear. If she fails, she will die. 00:05:14.670 --> 00:05:18.077 And if she dies, Susan and her father will die too. 00:05:18.712 --> 00:05:22.911 Their plans are coming to a culmination that very night, and they need to know 00:05:22.911 --> 00:05:24.656 if Vincent is a danger to them. 00:05:25.167 --> 00:05:30.124 If they have to abort their plan, they will be set back one or two years. 00:05:30.756 --> 00:05:35.017 She goes to Vincent. She tells him her and her father's lives are being threatened. 00:05:35.371 --> 00:05:38.459 Something big is happening tonight, so Vincent sets a trap. 00:05:38.854 --> 00:05:43.579 He gives her the information of where the tape will be so that the invaders can get it back. 00:05:43.928 --> 00:05:48.701 That way, they'll carry through with their plan into the waiting hands of NASA 00:05:48.701 --> 00:05:51.021 and the FBI, who will be waiting. 00:05:51.631 --> 00:05:53.802 He tells Susan to phone the information in. 00:05:54.544 --> 00:05:58.149 Then catch a plane to somewhere and tell no one where she's going. 00:05:58.842 --> 00:06:02.251 At the airport, Susan is captured by the aliens, and they take her back to the 00:06:02.251 --> 00:06:03.642 railway car headquarters. 00:06:04.202 --> 00:06:08.151 Vincent and Taft are staking the place out, waiting for NASA and the FBI to 00:06:08.151 --> 00:06:09.693 arrive before they pounce. 00:06:10.210 --> 00:06:15.870 Inside the car, the aliens are just minutes away from the point of no return on an incoming saucer. 00:06:16.143 --> 00:06:20.851 They use the sparkly truth device on Susan and learn that Vincent knows something. 00:06:21.094 --> 00:06:25.551 So they abort the landing and set the self-destruct, abandoning the railway 00:06:25.551 --> 00:06:27.985 car and leaving the dying Susan behind. 00:06:29.074 --> 00:06:33.805 As the aliens escape, Vincent rushes in and rescues Susan, only to have her 00:06:33.805 --> 00:06:38.443 die in his arms and the railway car burn up in typical invader fashion, 00:06:38.803 --> 00:06:42.489 just as the NASA and FBI teams arrive on the scene. 00:06:43.101 --> 00:06:47.646 Epilogue. Carver has survived, and Vincent has one last meeting with him. 00:06:48.105 --> 00:06:53.579 Carver tells him that his daughter really did love him, and with that bitter pill, Vincent leaves. 00:06:54.135 --> 00:06:57.164 Taft drives him to the airport. The end. 00:06:57.930 --> 00:07:00.520 So, Theodore Sturgeon, huh? 00:07:01.729 --> 00:07:08.724 Yes, with the great Theodore Sturgeon, the writer of two of my favorite Star 00:07:08.724 --> 00:07:12.029 Trek episodes, Shore Leave and A Muck Time. 00:07:12.977 --> 00:07:20.444 And a couple years back when I was watching Creature Features and I watched 00:07:20.859 --> 00:07:26.204 the Killdozer

episode, I didn't know that he co-wrote that movie, but he did. 00:07:28.004 --> 00:07:34.694 I remember killdozer when it was on its network premiere i just i thought that 00:07:34.694 --> 00:07:36.384 thing yeah showing my age there, 00:07:38.748 --> 00:07:46.084 having a birthday this week but uh yeah yeah i love that film and i had the comic book, 00:07:48.547 --> 00:07:52.030 but it was it was i'm guessing a pretty stupid, 00:07:53.032 --> 00:07:57.274 premise seems to me like if i recall correctly, and I'm pretty sure I do, 00:07:57.274 --> 00:08:05.973 it's Bulldozer crashes its blade into a meteorite and is somehow possessed by an alien, 00:08:06.501 --> 00:08:10.199 which then proceeds to try to kill everyone. 00:08:11.853 --> 00:08:12.231 Yes. 00:08:12.862 --> 00:08:13.675 Pretty good. Yeah. 00:08:15.713 --> 00:08:21.104 It's a movie. Yes, Killdozer was the kind of movie you want to watch late at 00:08:21.104 --> 00:08:23.712 night when you're not thinking too deeply. 00:08:25.344 --> 00:08:26.943 I'm rarely thinking too deeply anymore, 00:08:29.064 --> 00:08:34.054 i you know i i have in my notes when i was doing the blogging on on this episode 00:08:34.054 --> 00:08:37.782 and i can't see where i'm attributing this to but, 00:08:38.684 --> 00:08:45.314 it's very clear in my notes that sturgeon was brought in to produce a story 00:08:45.314 --> 00:08:51.121 in a script and could not turn one in that they found acceptable, 00:08:51.708 --> 00:08:54.093 did not turn one in that they found acceptable. 00:08:54.511 --> 00:08:58.594 Uh, you know, there's a process you, you hire them and then you bring them in 00:08:58.594 --> 00:09:00.282 and then they get right. A first rewrite. 00:09:00.624 --> 00:09:05.512 And then, you know, after that, maybe you get a third rewrite, second rewrite. 00:09:06.784 --> 00:09:10.757 Maybe not, at which point they can bring in another writer. And my notes say 00:09:10.757 --> 00:09:15.577 that what they did was they brought in the Block guy, John W. 00:09:15.577 --> 00:09:19.356 Block, I think, to basically he rewrote it. 00:09:19.944 --> 00:09:26.032 That's why he gets story and he gets combined story credit with Sturgeon, 00:09:26.921 --> 00:09:28.430 but he gets sole teleplay credit. 00:09:29.422 --> 00:09:34.321 Because he rewrote the whole story and then did the teleplay himself. 00:09:35.341 --> 00:09:35.727 Yes. 00:09:35.727 --> 00:09:40.031 So I don't know how much of this is suitable, suitably, Theodore Sturgeon's work. 00:09:40.605 --> 00:09:42.834 How much is Sturgeon and how much is Block. 00:09:43.521 --> 00:09:43.667 Yeah. 00:09:43.687 --> 00:09:47.621 But there were a few plot holes. 00:09:49.367 --> 00:09:49.637 Oh, yeah. 00:09:49.782 --> 00:09:55.737 In this general episode, which I felt generally enjoyable to watch. 00:09:55.737 --> 00:10:00.179 I watched it three times, had no problem watching it. Didn't bother me at all. 00:10:00.730 --> 00:10:02.605 Although the plot holes did stand out.

00:10:03.687 --> 00:10:07.817 It wasn't it wasn't a bad episode for a variety of reasons which i guess i'll 00:10:07.817 --> 00:10:13.325 go into later but you got plot holes let's start with a plot hole or two those are always fun. 00:10:13.907 --> 00:10:17.009 Yes well how about this, 00:10:18.511 --> 00:10:21.906 plot hole about friends the invaders, 00:10:23.298 --> 00:10:34.451 we have the the first invader we see after the opening credit sequence is the is the secretary mrs, 00:10:36.671 --> 00:10:41.091 bowers evelyn bowers and we don't know yet that she's an invader but we find 00:10:41.091 --> 00:10:50.441 out soon enough and we learn that she's been working for carver oil for a year. 00:10:51.093 --> 00:10:51.271 Yep. 00:10:52.409 --> 00:11:02.951 Roughly yep and that david vince has been working for carver oil for three months roughly yep. 00:11:02.951 --> 00:11:04.577 So see where you're going here. 00:11:05.292 --> 00:11:12.411 Has evelyn just been watching him for three months or is she all of a sudden 00:11:12.411 --> 00:11:13.945 getting concerned i don't know. 00:11:14.537 --> 00:11:19.061 I don't think so i i think she didn't recognize him and i think that's a that's 00:11:19.061 --> 00:11:22.914 the the problem with this story you know i don't, 00:11:23.904 --> 00:11:27.481 in i don't know the last episode the one before the one where they were at the 00:11:27.481 --> 00:11:31.386 school the ivy curtain yes yeah yes that's it, 00:11:32.331 --> 00:11:37.293 we saw that they can program the invaders with vincent's information, 00:11:38.139 --> 00:11:42.911 yes but i don't think that you know i don't think we can necessarily believe 00:11:42.911 --> 00:11:48.371 that they can do that over the wire so you know then as as you would update 00:11:48.371 --> 00:11:51.976 your your tesla now they don't do that they, 00:11:52.782 --> 00:11:57.521 so it's not like it's vincent's been programmed into all the invaders but at 00:11:57.521 --> 00:12:01.966 the same time, the principal of that school had a Rolodex, 00:12:03.238 --> 00:12:08.275 had vincent's information in it vincent vincent vincent you know one of the 00:12:08.275 --> 00:12:12.101 things goes over and looks yeah vincent yeah troublemaker this guy, 00:12:13.127 --> 00:12:18.975 you'd think that you know unless there's like a thousand other people fighting 00:12:18.975 --> 00:12:24.496 the aliens that we don't know about that that name particularly that prevalent, 00:12:25.511 --> 00:12:29.745 for three months overlapping with the invaders that they would have not noticed 00:12:29.745 --> 00:12:34.515 david vincent was working there and if they had noticed david vincent was working 00:12:34.515 --> 00:12:38.431 there they should have pulled up stakes if they weren't willing to kill him, 00:12:39.883 --> 00:12:42.100 right and that's the other thing about the invaders. 00:12:42.350 --> 00:12:48.435 And that's the other main topic i had a question i have with regard to these 00:12:48.435 --> 00:12:53.125 invaders david vincent is sometimes they want to kill him sometimes. 00:12:53.125 --> 00:12:53.495 They just. 00:12:53.495 --> 00:12:56.630 Want to make a fool of him and discredit him. 00:12:57.542 --> 00:13:03.465 Sometimes they want to use him. Sometimes they don't know who he is. 00:13:04.454 --> 00:13:15.354 I think that they're doing a very poor job of it, but that they are very much adhering to the, 00:13:16.010 --> 00:13:26.159 if we kill David Vincent, no matter how benign or ironclad the accidental death, 00:13:26.731 --> 00:13:29.268 there are people that will look at that and go, 00:13:30.776 --> 00:13:32.848 that's the guy that was telling us about aliens. 00:13:33.545 --> 00:13:38.375 And then he dies. And I, you know, I don't know how many people would do that. 00:13:38.555 --> 00:13:41.645 But on the other hand, looking at the way the world is today, 00:13:41.645 --> 00:13:45.385 if we had the internet, there would be a lot of people who would be absolutely 00:13:45.385 --> 00:13:47.245 positively convinced that the aliens killed him. 00:13:47.245 --> 00:13:54.613 It wouldn't matter if he, you know, ran in front of a steamroller intentionally 00:13:54.920 --> 00:13:57.385 and got himself flattened into a pancake. Somebody would go, 00:13:57.385 --> 00:13:59.599 well, you must have done that. The aliens must have done that. 00:14:00.232 --> 00:14:03.622 So I can understand that, but I think they don't, 00:14:05.011 --> 00:14:10.311 I don't want to say they don't repeat that often enough and they probably should. 00:14:11.033 --> 00:14:11.585 Yes. 00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:17.431 But, you know, he's got to get out of death free card with them if they can get away with it. 00:14:17.669 --> 00:14:22.884 But they will if they could if they could discredit him. 00:14:23.436 --> 00:14:25.972 Truly, truly, they've already tried that once. 00:14:26.530 --> 00:14:31.173 But, you know, I think that would be more likely their way of getting rid of him. 00:14:31.173 --> 00:14:37.123 And, you know, they they do plans like that. So I'm surprised they haven't dedicated 00:14:37.123 --> 00:14:42.303 a team to it, but maybe that was the team that was coming to the planet this week. 00:14:42.541 --> 00:14:46.043 That was their big, that was their big thing. It was the, the guy to get rid 00:14:46.043 --> 00:14:49.070 of Vincent, but they've done that. They did the whole thing with a stripper. 00:14:49.893 --> 00:14:51.592 That was a plan to get rid of Vincent. 00:14:52.311 --> 00:14:52.862 Yes. 00:14:53.390 --> 00:14:56.693 Get him, you know, get him to kill himself accidentally out in the desert. 00:14:56.693 --> 00:14:57.866 Cause he's an idiot kind of thing. 00:14:59.227 --> 00:15:02.893 Anyway, but you know, I, I'm going to say also, I enjoyed this episode and, 00:15:03.433 --> 00:15:08.683 I, I really want to call out to the writer to say i appreciate the fact that 00:15:08.683 --> 00:15:13.483 vincent has a job i

appreciate the fact that it is an architectural job that 00:15:13.483 --> 00:15:17.727 he is still able to get jobs and do work he's an architect so it's not, 00:15:18.377 --> 00:15:20.890 you know he's he's not been run out of town, 00:15:21.565 --> 00:15:25.867 as the loony and he's living from boxcar to boxcar, 00:15:26.912 --> 00:15:32.363 you know taking jobs like david banner in the hulk he he's actually still and 00:15:32.363 --> 00:15:35.510 a gainfully employed architect that's working on this plan. 00:15:35.858 --> 00:15:39.408 And he's got a plan. He's been staking the place out for three months. 00:15:40.201 --> 00:15:45.353 Yes, we need more of this. We need more of him actually conducting an investigation. 00:15:45.353 --> 00:15:47.074 We don't need to see the investigation. 00:15:48.138 --> 00:15:52.351 You know, conducting an investigation, laying out a plan, trying to get the 00:15:52.351 --> 00:15:56.441 goods on the aliens and not just bumbling into a scene where, 00:15:56.441 --> 00:16:00.541 oh, look, there was another mysterious death by cerebral hemorrhage. 00:16:00.541 --> 00:16:04.981 I guess that's the aliens. I'm going to go to that town and bumble around until 00:16:04.981 --> 00:16:07.184 somebody tries to kill me, you know? 00:16:08.101 --> 00:16:11.582 So, yes, I do like that about this episode. 00:16:12.781 --> 00:16:17.871 On the other hand you know say that he's got a plan he's got a nice camera he's 00:16:17.871 --> 00:16:22.491 got a big long lens he's got some he finally after three months of stakeout 00:16:22.491 --> 00:16:25.680 he gets shots of a ufo landing, 00:16:26.443 --> 00:16:34.071 and aliens arriving and fantastic there you go probably not proof enough probably 00:16:34.071 --> 00:16:35.322 definitely probably not proof enough, 00:16:36.231 --> 00:16:40.051 and he even gets inside that railway car and he uses that stinking long lens 00:16:40.051 --> 00:16:43.601 to try to take pictures inside a room that small, which, you know, 00:16:43.601 --> 00:16:45.066 he's going to have pictures of buttons, 00:16:45.618 --> 00:16:50.373 but it doesn't really matter because he throws the camera at an alien, kills the alien, 00:16:51.230 --> 00:16:55.660 escapes with something else and doesn't, yeah, with his hands, with his bare hands. 00:16:55.840 --> 00:17:04.019 I mean, he, he's pulled the alien's neck up to the stair or the ladder rung. 00:17:04.344 --> 00:17:08.011 So I assume he either broke his neck or he suffocated him, assuming that you 00:17:08.011 --> 00:17:11.966 can kill an alien by breaking his neck or suffocating him. 00:17:12.671 --> 00:17:17.751 I don't actually know if that's a true statement, but apparently you can because he just did it. 00:17:19.490 --> 00:17:22.594 And we've seen them die of trauma, so yeah, okay, fine. 00:17:23.314 --> 00:17:27.099 But he doesn't even bother to try to recover the camera. It's a film camera. 00:17:27.405 --> 00:17:30.752 Sure, when he threw it, the lens probably got broken off. 00:17:31.286 --> 00:17:35.517 It probably ruined the mount, but that doesn't affect the shutter. 00:17:36.005 --> 00:17:41.740 Maybe the case the back popped off but even if it did not all of the film would 00:17:41.740 --> 00:17:48.200 necessarily be exposed or or oh you know improperly exposed that some of those 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:49.709 pictures may have still been intact, 00:17:51.270 --> 00:17:57.860 it just it's like it's inexcusable it didn't take the extra one second to go 00:17:57.860 --> 00:17:59.927 grab that camera in that tiny, tiny space. 00:18:00.235 --> 00:18:07.100 And the only thing that I would have accepted is if they had shot and shown 00:18:07.100 --> 00:18:09.653 us just a momentary insert shot, 00:18:10.286 --> 00:18:13.293 when he threw the camera, when it hit the ground that, you know, 00:18:13.438 --> 00:18:16.149 the film sprang out like a slinky. 00:18:18.110 --> 00:18:18.890 All over the place. 00:18:18.890 --> 00:18:21.320 And it's like, okay, that would have solved this problem. 00:18:21.912 --> 00:18:25.120 Film shot lost. And then that would give Vincent like, okay, 00:18:25.120 --> 00:18:29.490 what else can I salvage from this oh i'll grab some computer tape i think this 00:18:29.490 --> 00:18:32.907 is computer tape i don't know it could be might not be whatever, 00:18:34.164 --> 00:18:40.747 so uh yeah i i really really hated that opening, 00:18:41.450 --> 00:18:46.400 secret a scene secret i didn't like the opening secret opening secret either 00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:50.390 but the opening scene was bad enough um yes yeah, 00:18:51.811 --> 00:18:53.349 yeah would, 00:18:57.015 --> 00:19:05.246 knowing what we know about magnetic tape would we be even be able to read that, 00:19:06.018 --> 00:19:11.532 tape i mean presumably that means that the tape is of a, 00:19:13.508 --> 00:19:19.787 I remember when I used to have to do this for a living, writing data to tapes. 00:19:22.448 --> 00:19:26.652 Because where we work, people purchased data. 00:19:27.893 --> 00:19:32.636 Government data you you can't well purchase is the wrong word no it's the right 00:19:32.636 --> 00:19:36.450 word basically if you need information from a government agency you have to, 00:19:37.242 --> 00:19:40.289 pay them if it's for commercial purposes and they have a set rate, 00:19:41.126 --> 00:19:45.106 it's still public record but because it's for commercial purpose you have to 00:19:45.106 --> 00:19:48.030 pay them to for the work done, 00:19:48.682 --> 00:19:52.226 right to get the get the information out so i would have to do this yes and 00:19:52.226 --> 00:19:56.606 like this just on the one computer system we had there was like 25 different 00:19:56.606 --> 00:20:01.300 formats i could have used and luckily we could tell them to, 00:20:02.006 --> 00:20:05.886 you know it's like this is the type tape we can give you it's your problem to 00:20:05.886 --> 00:20:11.106 find out how to read it we can tell

you the specs if we don't tell you the specs you'll never read it, 00:20:11.996 --> 00:20:15.485 right they're just they're just you don't put information at the header, 00:20:16.193 --> 00:20:19.706 you've got to understand what's on the header to read the rest of the tape and 00:20:19.706 --> 00:20:23.376 if you can't read the header if you don't understand the header it's not a standardized 00:20:23.376 --> 00:20:27.726 format they're not going to be able to read that tape and and that's just working 00:20:27.726 --> 00:20:30.279 on the assumption that the aliens use magnetic tape, 00:20:31.213 --> 00:20:37.586 yes that you know you got to know the speed you get into the speed that it goes through you got to know. 00:20:39.372 --> 00:20:43.151 How what the density of it is it's just there's just so much, 00:20:43.917 --> 00:20:49.896 so many variables is like there is just no way that i believe he could have 00:20:49.896 --> 00:20:58.276 gotten to I got longitude and latitude coordinate can't read the language, but math is universal. 00:20:58.276 --> 00:21:02.159 Math is universal, but computer data format tape formats are not. 00:21:03.526 --> 00:21:08.462 So that bugged me about this, but I guess, you know, 1960, whatever people were 00:21:08.717 --> 00:21:11.646 seven extra stupid about computers. 00:21:12.618 --> 00:21:15.858 Yes. Well, not that they aren't now. 00:21:16.373 --> 00:21:22.677 But, but, but that was before there were, there's a computer in nearly every home. 00:21:23.335 --> 00:21:28.078 Just watch the it crowd and i can promise you i can promise you, 00:21:29.692 --> 00:21:31.364 That is absolutely true. 00:21:33.542 --> 00:21:37.888 Whoever, whoever helped them on that with regards to what it's like being an 00:21:37.888 --> 00:21:44.745 IT guy in a business, not saying that we're all the nerds that those guys are, although some are, 00:21:45.423 --> 00:21:49.718 but the whole, you know, just start off with, did you turn it off and turn it 00:21:49.718 --> 00:21:54.458 back on again to, is it plugged in to you? 00:21:54.458 --> 00:21:58.954 You go to help them and they've left. 00:21:59.609 --> 00:22:03.178 Their desk and left a note and says, Oh, tell me when it's done and I'll come back. 00:22:03.178 --> 00:22:07.358 It's like, we can't even try to diagnose it if you aren't there because you're 00:22:07.358 --> 00:22:12.248 logged into the computer and you've, you know, let it screen save out. 00:22:12.248 --> 00:22:17.224 And we can't, you know, it's like, you have to be, don't get me started. 00:22:17.427 --> 00:22:20.376 People are not, or, or calling the, you know, 00:22:21.409 --> 00:22:28.708 the computer the disk drive or yeah it's just like it's true it's absolutely 00:22:28.708 --> 00:22:34.318 100 true people are not actually familiar with their their computers even though 00:22:34.318 --> 00:22:35.511 they all have them at home. 00:22:36.206 --> 00:22:43.859 Yes true um yeah but certainly but it was it was worse in 1967 so i guess. 00:22:43.993 --> 00:22:44.908 John did your block. 00:22:44.908 --> 00:22:50.227 I could put that in there, and people at home would probably think, okay. 00:22:51.364 --> 00:22:53.622 Magnetic tape. Yeah. Yes. But, 00:22:54.378 --> 00:22:59.248 yeah. And, you know, it would be a lot more boring episode if they had—, 00:23:02.261 --> 00:23:06.348 gone into the detail that would have been involving how they could have tried 00:23:06.760 --> 00:23:08.084 reading and decoding that tape. 00:23:08.704 --> 00:23:11.544 What would have been an easier technique would be as if the invaders, 00:23:11.544 --> 00:23:17.611 instead of an oil fill, they were using earth technology in some way. 00:23:18.698 --> 00:23:22.425 And they had created this tape so they could run it on some of our computers. 00:23:23.358 --> 00:23:32.444 Then this would be plausible, but David Vincent has in the past been very good 00:23:32.444 --> 00:23:38.152 about realizing that if he has a relationship with someone, 00:23:38.831 --> 00:23:40.375 they're going to end up dead. 00:23:41.301 --> 00:23:41.830 Yes. 00:23:42.108 --> 00:23:49.202 And yet in this episode, he falls in love, she falls in love, and she ends up dead. 00:23:50.520 --> 00:23:55.611 He should be heeding his own advice. I mean, all right, fine. 00:23:56.242 --> 00:23:58.509 Sometimes love happens. 00:23:59.111 --> 00:23:59.663 It does. 00:23:59.842 --> 00:24:03.209 Right? I mean, these things happen. 00:24:03.493 --> 00:24:09.679 And, but Vincent really seemed to be encouraging it. 00:24:10.955 --> 00:24:12.900 I'm going to talk about the secretary a little bit. 00:24:13.946 --> 00:24:14.938 Evelyn Bowers. 00:24:15.713 --> 00:24:19.240 Evelyn Bowers. Should have recognized Vincent. I've been there. 00:24:19.454 --> 00:24:19.803 Yes. 00:24:21.950 --> 00:24:25.166 Does every corporate secretary live, 00:24:27.407 --> 00:24:31.902 in the CEO's mansion? Is this mansion the HQ? 00:24:33.864 --> 00:24:38.832 I think the mansion is the HQ. I'll go with that. I think he probably runs his 00:24:38.832 --> 00:24:41.905 business out of that location. in that big office of his. 00:24:42.521 --> 00:24:53.572 But I think there was definitely a strong implication that she's the secretary 00:24:53.572 --> 00:24:55.582 with benefits for the boss. 00:24:55.682 --> 00:24:55.842 I got it, yes. 00:24:57.028 --> 00:24:57.292 Right? 00:24:57.292 --> 00:24:57.542 Okay. 00:24:57.542 --> 00:25:01.792 There was that, oh, you didn't have to get dressed, and I forgot he called her 00:25:01.792 --> 00:25:06.192 dear or something like that. He didn't call her Miss Bowers. 00:25:06.192 --> 00:25:09.322 You didn't have to get dressed this morning. He's, oh, you didn't have to get up. 00:25:10.902 --> 00:25:15.672 Dear it i would never have known she was his secretary by the way he greeted 00:25:15.672 --> 00:25:21.502 her when she came down the stairs i thought it was his wife and then i was immediately 00:25:21.502 -->

00:25:24.632 thinking oh well that's the stepmom but, 00:25:25.450 --> 00:25:29.382 you know and there's going to be the the the tension between the daughter and 00:25:29.382 --> 00:25:36.102 the stepmom because really you know but the daughter and the invader but that would imply that, 00:25:36.602 --> 00:25:40.963 you know, the invaders are fully functional, at least up to that point. 00:25:41.474 --> 00:25:44.980 Doesn't that require something about emotion? 00:25:46.077 --> 00:25:51.371 Well, not necessarily. Maybe they've been programmed to simulate them. 00:25:52.085 --> 00:25:52.509 Okay. 00:25:54.169 --> 00:25:59.367 Right. It's just going through the motions kind of thing. He's an old man. 00:25:59.976 --> 00:26:05.921 She's much younger than he is. seen anything like he's probably happy to get what he can, 00:26:07.171 --> 00:26:10.109 Okay, what I wanted to mention about her was, 00:26:12.221 --> 00:26:15.204 we are told that they're without emotion. We've been told that before. 00:26:16.231 --> 00:26:21.629 We have pointed out in places where they don't appear to be truly without emotion. but, 00:26:23.734 --> 00:26:28.541 she says to the daughter she says my superiors have made it clear to me that 00:26:28.541 --> 00:26:31.688 if i feel fail again i'm dead, 00:26:32.877 --> 00:26:40.111 she says that matter of factly but at the same time clearly she doesn't want that to happen right. 00:26:40.111 --> 00:26:41.245 That's an emotion right. 00:26:42.522 --> 00:26:49.513 Well how would this threat work how would this threat work if you're not worried about dying. 00:26:49.693 --> 00:26:51.591 Yeah exactly she is. 00:26:51.591 --> 00:26:53.331 Afraid and how, 00:26:55.973 --> 00:27:02.852 how would this work so to me it's very soviet union right it's it's very 1960s, 00:27:03.657 --> 00:27:10.060 soviet union if i feel comrade my superiors will kill me you know it's that, 00:27:11.176 --> 00:27:12.501 which of course they're going for. 00:27:12.501 --> 00:27:17.193 These are the communists that are overtaking us. That is the metaphor that they're using here. 00:27:18.736 --> 00:27:25.045 Isn't that meant to be a motivator as opposed, 00:27:25.905 --> 00:27:32.458 not just, I don't want to die, but also all my colleagues, Ooh, 00:27:33.170 --> 00:27:35.109 they really did kill her. 00:27:35.591 --> 00:27:44.291 I better shape up and not get out of line. It's a, it is a, it's a fear thing. It's a terror strategy. 00:27:44.744 --> 00:27:47.774 It's a terror strategy towards the person who you're going to kill. 00:27:48.070 --> 00:27:52.555 And it's a terror strategy towards the other people, because otherwise it doesn't 00:27:52.555 --> 00:27:59.893 make any sense. Even if she failed twice, that is not a good enough reason to kill her. 00:28:00.595 --> 00:28:05.413 They could use her for something else, maybe something that would get her killed. 00:28:06.565 --> 00:28:11.045 Right but okay she can't carry out this kind of plan but maybe she

can fly an 00:28:11.045 --> 00:28:16.185 airplane or she can drive a car and she can shuttle people around or you know 00:28:16.185 --> 00:28:21.278 she can seduce people or or whatever it's it is a waste, 00:28:21.888 --> 00:28:27.431 without benefit to the aliens unless it is terrorizing someone, 00:28:28.364 --> 00:28:32.754 and that makes no sense because they aren't supposed to be motivated that way, 00:28:33.979 --> 00:28:37.585 Unless you're a mutant like Suzanne Flechette, in which case then you have emotions 00:28:37.585 --> 00:28:41.555 and you're looked down upon and treated badly. 00:28:41.555 --> 00:28:47.566 And we see no evidence that the other invaders look down upon Evelyn Bowers. 00:28:48.336 --> 00:28:53.096 No. Now, I will say this. It is also possible that perhaps emotion is a spectrum. 00:28:54.157 --> 00:28:59.959 On the aliens. And so whenever we get a glimpse of it, it's like, it's kind of like Mr. 00:28:59.959 --> 00:29:06.359 Spock, right there. It's, it, it's not quite the same because Spock is of course 00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:10.182 hiding the emotions, but the aliens may have, 00:29:11.009 --> 00:29:15.151 you know, really, really rudimentary ones. Like, and I want to die, 00:29:17.473 --> 00:29:23.477 but I don't know. I don't know. It might explain it, but so this takes me to the last scene. 00:29:24.288 --> 00:29:27.167 Or next year to the last scene, not the, not the epilogue, but, 00:29:27.312 --> 00:29:31.647 but there at the end. So the invader boss shoots her. 00:29:32.622 --> 00:29:37.432 All right. First off, he, he, he totally sparklies Susan. 00:29:37.994 --> 00:29:43.619 Right. And when he gets the information from her, he snaps that thing shut in 00:29:43.619 --> 00:29:50.313 his hand and she falls is obviously in extreme pain and she falls over. 00:29:50.848 --> 00:29:57.489 And it feels to me like it feels to me like that was intended to convey that 00:29:57.489 --> 00:30:03.212 he has basically broken the connection off so fast that it's that that is what killed her. 00:30:04.077 --> 00:30:04.899 I was watching. 00:30:04.899 --> 00:30:06.169 That scenes. 00:30:06.529 --> 00:30:09.086 I watched that scene several times i went back. 00:30:09.882 --> 00:30:10.629 As asking. 00:30:10.629 --> 00:30:13.109 Myself what what killed her. 00:30:13.765 --> 00:30:19.083 Right and killed her and i think that's it i think he okay i think by just, 00:30:20.149 --> 00:30:23.311 he didn't care and he snapped the thing away and, 00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:26.879 because that's not what happens to other people when they take it off they don't, 00:30:27.487 --> 00:30:30.779 they haven't covered up they just kind of turn it off quickly but i mean he 00:30:30.779 --> 00:30:35.742 just it was like he just ripped it out he's ripping it out of her head kind of thing, 00:30:36.711 --> 00:30:41.319 yes okay because that carries to the the line i want to get to, 00:30:42.521 --> 00:30:46.097 Set the self-destruct, let's get out of

here. So they get out, 00:30:46.399 --> 00:30:49.805 and alien number two says, what about the girl? 00:30:51.003 --> 00:30:55.421 And the other one says, she's done for anyway, which would imply he knew he'd already killed her. 00:30:56.203 --> 00:30:56.525 Yes. 00:30:56.985 --> 00:31:01.075 That what he did, he knew that he had killed her. But the point that I want 00:31:01.075 --> 00:31:03.952 to break out is why did the other alien care to ask? 00:31:04.745 --> 00:31:06.405 Exactly. There's an emotion. 00:31:06.405 --> 00:31:11.835 What about the girl? It felt like he was like, should we do something about the girl? Nah. 00:31:12.624 --> 00:31:14.993 She's dead already. We're about to blow this thing up. 00:31:15.947 --> 00:31:20.958 So I thought that was an odd scene. 00:31:21.173 --> 00:31:28.237 And I think the intent there is so that we could get the response. 00:31:28.798 --> 00:31:30.238 She's already done for. 00:31:31.291 --> 00:31:37.535 Right. That's to tell us that she's going to die. Doesn't matter whether they 00:31:37.535 --> 00:31:38.926 took her or not. She's dead. 00:31:39.999 --> 00:31:43.705 But that's the best I can come up with, because there just is no logical reason 00:31:43.705 --> 00:31:46.772 why that invader would say that otherwise. 00:31:47.945 --> 00:31:50.154 It's just to give us the opportunity for the dialogue. 00:31:51.455 --> 00:31:57.815 Well, speaking of Susan, the actress who played her was Laura Devin. 00:31:59.345 --> 00:32:07.915 And this was one of her last roles Because she retired from acting in 1967 When 00:32:07.915 --> 00:32:11.160 she married Maurice Jarre The film composer, 00:32:12.243 --> 00:32:20.833 But it's very interesting to look up Her record here On her IMDB page She died in 2007, 00:32:22.590 --> 00:32:29.814 And her only other On IMDB page she has Two more credits after this. 00:32:31.196 --> 00:32:34.732 I can't say that I ever recognized her, you know? 00:32:34.865 --> 00:32:38.232 Yeah. She was a character actress. 00:32:40.592 --> 00:32:44.292 She guest starred in various series of different genres. 00:32:45.185 --> 00:32:52.097 And her earliest credit is from 1960. And her last 18 credits is 1967. 00:32:52.803 --> 00:33:02.782 And her only other credit is as a vocalist for a 1975 movie called Mr. 00:33:02.782 --> 00:33:06.750 Sycamore, which her husband scored. 00:33:07.384 --> 00:33:11.407 Ah, well, he probably scored it with her in mind singing. 00:33:12.658 --> 00:33:20.602 Yes, and being the obsessive-compulsive person I am, I did find this movie on 00:33:20.602 --> 00:33:25.777 YouTube, and I hopped and skipped until I found the part where she was singing, 00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:28.035 because I did my homework. 00:33:28.803 --> 00:33:36.612 I like to do it. Well, tell us how much so we don't have to. 00:33:37.052 --> 00:33:39.137 She had a lovely soprano voice. 00:33:40.555 --> 00:33:41.766 All right. All right. 00:33:44.044 --> 00:33:48.959 Couple things. Let's see. Alien

plan has been set back one to two years. 00:33:49.560 --> 00:33:53.045 So they reached the point where the alien spacecraft is three minutes from the 00:33:53.045 --> 00:33:56.447 point of no, that they cannot, that they're committed. 00:33:57.039 --> 00:34:00.133 They're absolutely cannot stop the saucer from coming down. 00:34:00.528 --> 00:34:05.355 It's somewhere within the lunar orbit, according to the thing. 00:34:05.355 --> 00:34:09.936 So they've got three minutes to get the thing off and they abort it. 00:34:10.673 --> 00:34:14.175 And, you know, I have to, the question is what, what does that mean? 00:34:14.175 --> 00:34:19.205 Why can't the ship just go out and circle the moon for a while and then come 00:34:19.205 --> 00:34:21.535 down in another one of their landing spots or something? 00:34:21.535 --> 00:34:25.475 But apparently it has to fly all the way back to their home world, 00:34:25.475 --> 00:34:29.615 which maybe is a year and then refuel and then come back and try again. 00:34:29.615 --> 00:34:33.315 I don't, I don't know what, what I think would have worked better and would 00:34:33.315 --> 00:34:38.335 have been more consistent with the, the superior, right? 00:34:38.335 --> 00:34:42.635 I mean, he just shoots, he shoots the, the secretary, she's failed, 00:34:42.635 --> 00:34:45.995 boom, shot her to, you know, you are useless. 00:34:46.606 --> 00:34:49.995 You're a liability. It's not really a liability, but you know, 00:34:49.995 --> 00:34:53.705 we just, we're going to shoot you and they should have blown up the ship. 00:34:54.344 --> 00:34:58.105 The alien should have blown up their own ship at that point. 00:34:58.105 --> 00:34:59.386 They don't mind killing themselves. 00:34:59.903 --> 00:35:03.725 And each other, they don't mind killing each other. So that would have been 00:35:03.725 --> 00:35:08.707 a lot more kind of like, it's kind of like the camera spring and film all over the place. 00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:13.721 It's a scene that should have been there and it would have made it more, 00:35:13.953 --> 00:35:17.984 probably would have blown the special effects budget, but they could have done 00:35:17.984 --> 00:35:21.274 it on the screen, right? Or they could have just used it in dialogue. 00:35:21.274 --> 00:35:23.128 It's like abort, destroy the saucer. 00:35:23.500 --> 00:35:26.239 And he pushes a button, the light goes off on the chart. 00:35:27.396 --> 00:35:33.861 Easy peasy. And we would, we would totally get not just, you know, 00:35:34.100 --> 00:35:36.212 the aliens don't care if we live or die. 00:35:36.497 --> 00:35:39.604 They are trying to kill us all that. we think that's the case. 00:35:39.604 --> 00:35:43.523 We don't necessarily think they really are trying to enslave the human race. 00:35:43.922 --> 00:35:47.081 They don't care if we live or die. We're just in their way. 00:35:47.899 --> 00:35:54.388 But that's driven home a lot more when you realize they don't care if their own people live and die. 00:35:55.017 --> 00:35:59.534 They're that dedicated to the cause that they will die. So let's, 00:36:02.604 --> 00:36:04.173 see. And the other thing, 00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:07.670 that I thought was really funny to me. 00:36:10.241 --> 00:36:14.640 As, as he said, you know, the language of math is universal. 00:36:15.412 --> 00:36:18.910 Is the language of latitude and longitude universal? 00:36:19.981 --> 00:36:23.609 Aren't those based on coordinates that are specific to Earth mainly? 00:36:24.445 --> 00:36:32.037 Well, I mean, they are, they are based on our, you know, we've made a circle, 00:36:32.484 --> 00:36:37.424 and then somebody arbitrarily said that's 360 degrees. 00:36:38.506 --> 00:36:43.059 It goes by and so yes yeah but it doesn't matter who did it, 00:36:43.745 --> 00:36:49.059 see the aliens use 360 degrees and i know there's radians which is actually 00:36:49.059 --> 00:36:54.359 mathematical formula so maybe that's what they were using maybe that's how they 00:36:54.359 --> 00:36:58.262 interpret it but generally speaking you know it's it's, 00:36:59.237 --> 00:37:04.089 once again it's basically a grid reference to the earth and you do have to be 00:37:04.089 --> 00:37:08.055 using the same grid reference and And there's no logical reason why the aliens 00:37:08.322 --> 00:37:11.809 would be using our latitude and longitude grid reference. 00:37:11.809 --> 00:37:14.789 And maybe, you know, maybe he was just giving that as an example, 00:37:14.789 --> 00:37:16.815 like latitude and longitude, 00:37:17.945 --> 00:37:19.811 But, you know, he recognized that. 00:37:19.991 --> 00:37:21.242 No, he didn't get that impression. 00:37:21.987 --> 00:37:25.661 I didn't either. I got the impression that it was latitudes and longitudes because 00:37:25.661 --> 00:37:27.438 he was looking at a map and going. 00:37:29.711 --> 00:37:32.549 And he said that one of them was near the oil field. 00:37:33.204 --> 00:37:39.354 You also would have to know that latitude and longitude or longitude runs through Greenwich. 00:37:40.168 --> 00:37:46.867 If the aliens don't use Greenwich as point zero, you're not going to figure that out. 00:37:47.642 --> 00:37:49.991 And um one you know they might be using. 00:37:50.446 --> 00:37:58.801 Well one could posit i suppose that the invaders for the purposes of invading 00:37:58.801 --> 00:38:04.751 earth and trying to take over have adopted our longitude and latitude system. 00:38:05.749 --> 00:38:10.931 Well that seems like a dumb idea frankly i mean i get your point i'm not saying 00:38:10.931 --> 00:38:13.333 it's a dumb idea But it would be a dumb idea for them. 00:38:13.542 --> 00:38:19.201 It's like, oh, we speak a language that's so alien, no human being could ever 00:38:19.201 --> 00:38:22.999 understand it. But let's adopt English for our internal communications. 00:38:24.751 --> 00:38:25.836 It is inconsistent. 00:38:26.743 --> 00:38:32.000 It's not a good. You're giving your enemy an

advantage by using their system. 00:38:32.578 --> 00:38:37.731 System and i don't think you are giving yourself much of anything except the 00:38:37.731 --> 00:38:41.951 ability to go buy maps you know from the usgs, 00:38:42.969 --> 00:38:47.381 for you know grid references but i i don't seems to me like they ought to be 00:38:47.381 --> 00:38:53.021 able to work out their own mapping system anyway so they've got this he recognizes 00:38:53.021 --> 00:38:56.030 it a list of latitudes and longitudes and code, 00:38:56.587 --> 00:39:01.761 that looks a lot like what we use for bringing our spacecraft down to Earth. 00:39:01.761 --> 00:39:04.385 So good, good take on that. 00:39:04.775 --> 00:39:07.477 I do have to wonder, though, is it, 00:39:08.544 --> 00:39:11.907 Maybe that database of latitude and longitude, I mean, nobody would use that 00:39:11.907 --> 00:39:16.887 for anything else, right? I mean, it couldn't just be a database of places in 00:39:17.287 --> 00:39:19.758 Yelp or anything like that. 00:39:21.337 --> 00:39:24.467 This is good places for the aliens to eat. You know, 00:39:27.567 --> 00:39:32.144 it's their four square. That's their check-in log. 00:39:33.510 --> 00:39:37.470 Would, here's another one for the title, The Betrayed. 00:39:38.312 --> 00:39:38.627 Yes. 00:39:39.583 --> 00:39:46.347 Wouldn't it have been better if it had been the betrayal? Who is the betrayed here? 00:39:46.347 --> 00:39:47.372 I can see that. 00:39:48.081 --> 00:39:49.127 Vincent, right? 00:39:50.594 --> 00:39:52.365 David Vengeance is the betrayed, yes. 00:39:52.982 --> 00:39:58.590 Yes. So this story is about the betrayal. Not, not. 00:39:59.193 --> 00:39:59.527 Yes. 00:40:01.087 --> 00:40:02.897 Yeah. Yeah. It's just. 00:40:02.897 --> 00:40:03.539 I see your point. 00:40:04.646 --> 00:40:06.056 I don't have anything else on this episode. 00:40:06.789 --> 00:40:16.424 I don't. I. Well, I have pages of notes on the guest cast that I took just because 00:40:16.802 --> 00:40:19.577 I was looking for something that may be interesting. It really isn't. 00:40:19.577 --> 00:40:20.227 Ed Begley. 00:40:20.227 --> 00:40:23.772 So we can move on. The father of Ed Begley Jr. 00:40:24.552 --> 00:40:29.807 Now that usually works. Yep. Every time I see Ed Begley in something, 00:40:30.127 --> 00:40:32.813 I have seen it. I mean, Ed Begley was around for ages, right? 00:40:33.086 --> 00:40:35.570 But Ed Begley was always an old looking man. 00:40:36.046 --> 00:40:42.988 And I'm still thinking Ed Begley Jr. must take after his mother, because I don't see it. 00:40:43.794 --> 00:40:49.274 But we will see Ed Begley Sr. in the second season. 00:40:50.995 --> 00:40:52.281 Okay. Okay. 00:40:52.875 --> 00:41:00.477 And I have notes on the director. Yeah, I have notes on the director, but Mr. 00:41:02.137 --> 00:41:05.709 Lucas, John Meredith Lucas. 00:41:06.265 --> 00:41:08.634 Oh, John Meredith Lucas. Well, that's a Trek name. 00:41:09.413 --> 00:41:14.017 Yes, he directed The Ultimate Computer, The Enterprise Incident, 00:41:14.017 --> 00:41:16.616 and Ilan of Troia from Star Trek. 00:41:17.411 --> 00:41:21.414 He he was a producer on The Fugitive, 00:41:22.825 --> 00:41:31.617 he wrote for Star Trek he wrote The Changeling Patterns of Force Alon of Troias 00:41:31.617 --> 00:41:36.977 in That Which Survives he wrote and directed it, 00:41:38.777 --> 00:41:41.277 yes yes well I gotta say that's. 00:41:41.597 --> 00:41:43.478 Not a great collection. 00:41:43.797 --> 00:41:54.337 I know okay okay and i can go lower than that he is that he wrote the judas 00:41:54.337 --> 00:41:56.407 goat episode of logan's run, 00:41:59.459 --> 00:42:03.238 and that was the one was a sandman who had plastic surgery to look like a runner. 00:42:03.809 --> 00:42:04.417 Oh 00:42:06.457 --> 00:42:07.936 yes nicholas hammond. 00:42:08.489 --> 00:42:15.780 And here we go and and i have i saved the worst for last Bye-bye. 00:42:17.125 --> 00:42:22.849 He is the uncredited writer on, he is the uncredited writer of the Star Lost 00:42:22.849 --> 00:42:24.916 episode, The Implant People. 00:42:25.871 --> 00:42:30.071 He's the uncredited writer. How do we know that? I'm just curious. 00:42:31.139 --> 00:42:32.784 This is off his IMDb page. 00:42:33.538 --> 00:42:37.102 It's on his IMDb page. Okay. Huh. Okay. Huh. 00:42:38.612 --> 00:42:42.479 I might look that one up. The Implant People. 00:42:45.959 --> 00:42:47.039 I remember that one. 00:42:48.359 --> 00:42:53.009 Actually, I take it that wasn't quite last. The last thing is the last work 00:42:53.009 --> 00:43:00.213 he did for television was as the producer of the short-lived series Beyond Westworld in 1980. 00:43:02.719 --> 00:43:04.869 Wow. Okay. Well, I don't know if we're going to get to that one or not. 00:43:04.869 --> 00:43:08.209 It's in my collection of potential shows to do. 00:43:08.209 --> 00:43:09.139 It's rather short. 00:43:10.317 --> 00:43:13.569 It will not take long it's short i'm guessing we could probably do the entire 00:43:13.569 --> 00:43:18.782 series in one go but we'll see, 00:43:21.367 --> 00:43:29.486 it's one of those ones that's like it's so marginally science fiction it's not even funny yeah you know, 00:43:31.210 --> 00:43:35.592 this one's pretty marginal on the sci-fi but at least it's got some but yeah, 00:43:36.184 --> 00:43:41.900 beyond westworld is really just agents infiltrating stuff yes, 00:43:43.410 --> 00:43:48.589 i know laces yeah far more likely to go with manimal. 00:43:50.300 --> 00:43:51.317 Oh, no. 00:43:53.644 --> 00:43:54.910 Manimal's horrible. 00:43:55.506 --> 00:44:02.817 It is. It truly is. All right. And I, oh, I'm going to get it this time. Next time. 00:44:03.165 --> 00:44:03.312 Yes. 00:44:03.392 --> 00:44:04.245 It's Storm. 00:44:04.929 --> 00:44:05.452 Yes, it is. 00:44:05.752 --> 00:44:10.571 So it's the X-Men. I think, maybe not. But, well, you know, let's see. 00:44:13.482 --> 00:44:14.695 Kenneth, thank you for joining me. 00:44:15.413 --> 00:44:16.092 My pleasure. 00:44:16.957 --> 00:44:21.657 Listeners, I hope you'll join us all again next time. On Fusion Patrol.
