    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 you're talking about.
    It's the Pilot episode. BEACHHEAD. Obviously season one, some sources call
    it episode zero, some call it episode one.

    It's 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 he’s made too much noise and they’d 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.

    I know exactly what you’re talking about.
    It’s 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.

    It’s 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....

    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.

    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!
