Good episode with a great cast.

Interesting story how the aliens again seem to be on the verge of a big move, only to be foiled at the last minute by Vincent and company. You have to watch this series in the context of being in the 60's, not in the 21st century. Otherwise, the props and plot holes become too hokey.

But the cast is really good here, with Frank Marth and John Stephenson who each made numerous appearances in "Hogan's Heroes". And Barney Phillips, who plays the ousted executive who doesn't believe in the aliens. This is great because in an episode of "The Twilight Zone", he plays an alien! Hopefully you can catch "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?" and then watch this episode.

The Second Half Of The Episode Is Best
StuOz26 August 2016
Vincent and company are trying to get a new member on their side but run into complicated, very complicated, road blocks when trying to make this happen.

Complicated and very talky are the two words that best describe the first half of his episode. Some of the dialogue from the cute woman will have you shaking your head in confusion?

Thankfully, in the second half of the hour we leave the studio sets and go to lavish outdoor location filming and gun play that brings back memories of QM's The Untouchables.

This episode does not really bring anything new to the table but for massive fans of this series (like me) Task Force is enough to hold your attention.
