The only two part story in the Invaders develops into a find the alien plot similar to the last few episodes of the new Battlestar Galactica.I loved the line at the start of episode two when Roy Thinnessaid "Your acting like a hoodlum out of the Untouchables" at William Windoms driving.The writer George Eckstein,director Don Medford and Roy Thinness himself all worked on some of the best episodes of the classic gangster series from 1959-1962.While Michael Rennies acting is in no way the best work he's done Diana Hyland is great as the Secretary looking like she is really enjoying working on the series(she was also in the episode"Vikor"with Jack Lord) just as she did on"The Fugitive" particularly in the fourth season episode"Dossier for a Diplomat".

Knockout Two-Parter
StuOz23 August 2016
A summit meeting intended for world leaders gets infested with "invaders" making trouble.
I am happy to report that both parts of Summit Meeting hold your attention from beginning to end. The military storyline resembles a first season episode that did this kind of story but with such a talented bunch of guest stars on hand in this hour (including Michael Rennie) I am in no position to complain.
It is too bad this was not released as a motion picture as two-part episodes of The Man from UNCLE (1963) were re-edited into movies and Irwin Allen was thinking about doing the same to his 1960s shows...but he had second thoughts.
