One of the ways David Vincent could tell
a humanoid was actuallly one of the aliens
was that they had a telltale misconfigured finger

A couple of months ago he was getting
friendly with the obligatory hot gal, and
it turned out she was... an alien.

But her fingers were perfect.

She said something to him like "sorry,
Mr. Vincent, but sometimes we get it right."

Anyone recall this scene and which
episode it was in?

Thanks muchly

I know exactly what yourCOre talking about.
ItrCOs the Pilot episode. BEACHHEAD. Obviously season one, some sources call
it episode zero, some call it episode one.
The alieness in question is the delectable Diane Baker.

ItrCOs hard to give you a timestamp because there are different length cuts
of the pilot. But I knew right where it was so I found a copy on YouTube
and dead reckoned to it.

39 minutes and 30 seconds

THANKS!

(And thanks to MeTV for showing these [a])

[a] and a BIG GRUMBLE at them for
1: doing lots of cuts for more commercials
2: that whole garbage of censoring out bits and
pieces that give the Sensitive Folk the Vapors,
leading to words like "despicable" turning
into dropouts, PLUS the "closed captioning
displaying "deXXXable" (yes, with "X"s)

That's a very odd length for a pilot in those days. After all, there
weren't nearly as many commercials then. It might make sense if it was
one of the tiny handful of 45 minute shows, like The New People, from
roughly the same era but I don't remember The Invaders being 45 minutes....

Jeez, '60s SF was bad. ET's happy to kill his buddy, why don't they
kill him and be done with it. I realize it's Plot Immunity, without
him there's no show, but they should at least establish some
justification for it.

And then there's his reaction to meeting a smoking-hot ET who at least
pretends to be into him--he runs away. Come on, at least get some
information out of her first. But that would have meant actually
working out some back story for ET.

What's with the motorcycle-less cop going around in a motorcycle
helmet?

And where else have I seen those props?

The idea is given in later episodes that herCOs made too much noise and theyrCOd rather have him looking like a crack pot then mysteriously dying or disappearing that might get investigated.

In one of my favorite episodes an alien manages to get killed in a small
town Square in front of pretty much everybody. The invaders block off every exit to the town and are just going to eradicate the whole place rather
than have that many witnesses. They have to work out a compromise with
Vincent to save lives.

And then there's his reaction to meeting a smoking-hot ET who at least pretends to be into him--he runs away. Come on, at least get some information out of her first. But that would have meant actually

Thanks muchly

rCLSome of us learn. WerCOre always learning.rCY

I know exactly what yourCOre talking about.
ItrCOs the Pilot episode. BEACHHEAD. Obviously season one, some sources call
it episode zero, some call it episode one.
The alieness in question is the delectable Diane Baker.

ItrCOs hard to give you a timestamp because there are different length cuts
of the pilot. But I knew right where it was so I found a copy on YouTube >>>> and dead reckoned to it.

39 minutes and 30 seconds

https://youtu.be/gqMdqzf6pTI

That's a very odd length for a pilot in those days. After all, there
weren't nearly as many commercials then. It might make sense if it was
one of the tiny handful of 45 minute shows, like The New People, from
roughly the same era but I don't remember The Invaders being 45 minutes.... >>>

No, 39 minutes and 30 seconds is the scene where she says the line he was
looking for. :-)

Yeah, someone else explained it before you did ;-) I actually watched
the episode after posting and heard her say the line but didn't notice
when she said it, otherwise I would have clued in from that :-)

I wish stupid YouTube would let me queue up links on a mobile device!

Strangely enough, when I actually clicked on the link, it said 48
minutes and 55 seconds which is far more reasonable. Beats me why you
said it was 39:30....

I took it to mean that particular scene was at 39:30, not the running
length of the video.

She shoots! She scores!

It's like I can read your mind! Amazing.

This series is a total crap fest. No wonder it ran 1 season.

What are you talking about? It ran for two seasons and was remade in the 1990's.
