   The Invaders Review: The Betrayed – Fusion Patrol Ep. 809

   Eugene and Kenneth discuss The Invaders, Season 1, Episode 12, “The Betrayed,” focusing on David Vincent’s long surveillance of an alien hotspot and his effort to document a landing and an invader facility hidden in a railway car, his recovery of an alien data tape, and attempts to get it analyzed Much of the conversation is devoted to plot holes and the show’s handling of the Invaders, including why they sometimes want Vincent dead, sometimes want to discredit him, and sometimes do not seem to recognize him. Eugene also notes that Vincent is shown as a working architect with an actual investigation plan, which he likes, while questioning the logic of the tape format and the coordinate system. 00:00:34 Opening and episode setup 00:00:43 Vincent’s Alien Breakthrough 00:01:41 Carver Oil Stakes 00:02:37 Taft Decodes the Tape 00:03:17 Susan’s Betrayal 00:04:14 Brother Killed in Ambush 00:04:49 NASA Sets the Trap 00:05:58 Railcar Showdown 00:06:42 Aftermath and Goodbye 00:06:57 Theodore Sturgeon Debate 00:10:13 Plot Holes and Invader Logic 00:16:12 Tape and Camera Problems 00:24:10 Evelyn Bowers Unmasked 00:29:23 Susan’s Death 00:33:43 Alien Mission Aborted 00:36:09 Coordinates and Earth Maps 00:39:33 Title Meaning 00:40:06 Guest Cast and Credits
