*** This review may contain spoilers ***

If I were a character actor I would love playing a character called "Alien #1." I would hoped to be killed by David Vincent and glow red before I vanished from the screen. Unfortunately Alien #1 doesn't die. Nor does Alien #2. They do get to pour three fourths of a bottle of whiskey down Vincent's throat to get him severely intoxicated. Thinnes does the best drunken driving scene since Cary Grant in North By Northwest. And with very few lines of dialog and not many scenes, you can't help feel sorry for Nat Greely as performed by William Smithers. A sad loser of an alcoholic who has the unfortunate luck of getting mixed up with the invaders. Vincent and Greely are bruised and battered after surviving the car wreck. And then they have to endure a tongue lashing from Dabney Coleman who was counting them to help testify about the invaders. I'm surprised Vincent, who must have had one heck of a hangover, didn't throw up his arms at the end of this episode and yell, "I give up!"
