What's New in this Episode
- The Invaders' disc-weapons kill people by inducing a cerebral haemorrage
(stroke)
- They need to use the transparent tubes to 're-generate' themselves,
and keep them in their assumed human-form.
- The tubes can also induce a heart-attack, making it look like death
by natural causes.
- They also use an illuminated crystal device to gain hypgnotic control
over humans, but this is not entirely effective.
- They can duplicate a person's voice well enough to fool a close aquaitance.
- The Invaders rely at least partly on conventional electricity
Unanswered Questions
- Why was Hal Corman so traumatised by the sight of an alien?
- How come the disc weapon didn't kill him the first time?
Notes
- Frank Overton also appears in the Star Trek Episode - "This Side of
Paradise"
