    DVD Review The Invaders: The Complete Series DVD Review

    I like the series but David Vincent is too remote and cold for me to identify with. I don't know if it's the writing or Roy Thinnes himself, but he's actually kinda dull. He also can't be allowed to really progress of win in any substantial fashion. Honestly, he actually does come off as a...

    Funny, I don't remember the season 2 finale, but season 1 I do. It ended with a pretty solid victory for David Vincent, but still with room to go on in the second year. It was really quite good. I need to revisit this show once I replace my lost set.

    DVD Review The Invaders: The Complete Series DVD Review

    Well, I just didn't want to do a deep dive into the series until I got the Blu-ray sets. If this scene exists, I have it because I have the entire series. When I get the new set and I start watching it, I'll keep an eye out for it. UFO was much easier to dig up because I knew exactly where to...

    DVD Review The Invaders: The Complete Series DVD Review

    Nah. Gerry Anderson liked women. It felt like a British Sex Comedy for those moments. Alec Freeman was obviously intended to be a ladies man of the highest order. But later episodes gave the romances to Paul Foster after he was introduced. Freeman became a more serious second to Straker, but...

    DVD Review The Invaders: The Complete Series DVD Review

    100% sure. I have the series. The first episode is filled with Freeman being a horndog and those few minutes after the cold open are totally sleazy. It hasn't aged well at all. 10 minutes in for the example I mention but they have him metaphorically humping legs the moment he's introduced...

    DVD Review The Invaders: The Complete Series DVD Review

    I think the shot of the girl waving was at Alec Freeman, but the opening theme is edited to a shot of Straker. The first episode is filled with ogling of woman's backsides. Freeman is off to a really bad start as he cant stop boring holes in one operative's ass with his eyes and the Barry Gray...

    DVD Review The Invaders: The Complete Series DVD Review

    I would say this sooner about Mission: Impossible which, after the initial "finding their tone" episodes had no humor whatsoever. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. was fairly tongue-in-cheek, which actually is one reason why I didn't get the bug for it. The second is very light and then the third season...

    Johnnybear from the Trek BBS! Woo hoo! Yeah, they showed him working once in a while, I guess to justify his having money to tool around the country in his suits hunting aliens. But to mention it in the opening like it's actually important to his character is what makes me laugh. He could have...

    DVD Review The Invaders: The Complete Series DVD Review

    It's worth a look. The first season in particular is gripping and actually really scary at times. They backed away from that in the second year and it was more of an action SF series. Still a lot of fun. It tried too hard to stick with The Fugitive format, to the point where they said, every...
