| Please forgive the outburst in the previous note. The unit has been recalled
for adjustment. (We'll fix his pinky while we're at it.)

| The Invaders is on Saturday afternoon as well. FYI, an episode guide was
published by Starlog and later appeared in one of their TV episode guidebooks.
Another episode guide is in 'Fantastic Television'. If anyone wants details
(issue #'s etc), mail me.

| Yeah, THE INVADERS was kinda neat, but even as a kid, I always wondered why any
alien race would travel all the way from another galaxy to wrest a planet away
from the somewhat advanced native lifeforms, so that they could completely change
the entire environment of the planet so that they could live on it. Seems to me
that it would have been easier to find an uninhabited planet with a suitable
atmosphere a lot closer to home.

PS. Does anyone remember the LOST IN SPACE episode featuring only the three
female crew members in which, as a gag, they did the whole show with their left
pinkies sticking out?

| WHY were the Invaders from another galaxy?
Because most SF TV writers (with the notable exception of Star
Trek) don't know the difference between a galaxy and their asteroids!
The general public is much more familiar (in word only) with the
term galaxy, so to them it sounds much more intriguing to have the
aliens come from another GALAXY (WOW!) than just your ordinary old
planetary system in some corner of our humdrum little Milky Way
Galaxy - as if we've explored this one and found it boring; Star
Trek has done pretty well with just a few hundred parsecs of the
Milky Way.
To sum it up, the Invaders are from another galaxy because the
writers didn't really know what a galaxy is.

PS-
By the way, didn't you just love the way the Invaders' laser
pistols disintergrated things?!

I rediscovered this old series in the local video store not too long
ago. Too bad it wasn't a bit longer on the SF and shorter on the
interpersonal drama. But then again, it was a Quinn/Martin production.
After viewing recently, it struck me that the show could almost be
seen as a metaphor for the Red Threat of the day.

| Keith Laumer did three or four companion books to the series. The
books were collections of short stories with the same protagonist
and setting, but the stories themselves were new, not rehashes of the
tv series' plots. A few of the stories were pretty good (at least
I thought so 25 years ago).
