[x] Remove Ad
It's been six weeks without any further activity from the aliens since the destruction of their warships. The powers-that-be believe that the Blackwood Project has done its job and prepare to shut it down.
In reality, the aliens are very much alive, but have put all efforts in combating the radiation that protects them from bacteria from killing them as well.

Episode Notes |
| |
A location on the map Harrison has is Jericho Valley. In the novelisation of "The Resurrection", this was the name given to what is established in said episode as Fort Jericho.
| Mr. Kensington was in the military and reached as high as the rank of Major.
| Wilson fought in the War of the Worlds. At the time, he was a Second Lieutenant.
| Mrs. Pennyworth was a spy during the World War II. Her husband was also a spy, but is it not known who he is, though his absence implies that he passed away.
| Debi is 11 as of this episode.
| Based on Norton's computer, this entire episode takes place over the course of at least 13 days. Additionally, information on Debi's age and birthday coupled with that of the date of "Eye for an Eye" places this episode in October. This in turn, places "The Resurrection" as occurring in most likely September or possibly late August. It should be noted, however, that's Norton's computer has the date of June. Since this clearly conflicts with later information, it's unknown if this is simply an overlooked error, or if the timeline was customised later.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Milkman # 1: Our analysis indicates the high level of radiation needed to protect us from the indeginous bacteria of this planet causes our metabolisms to heat to dangerous levels.
Advocate #1: Our scientists seem to have a firm grasp on the obvious. Tell us something we don't already know!
| Advocate #2: The lower classes are all alike - excuses for every shortcoming!
| Advocate #3: Since your medicines have proven inadequate, you will find a more effective method of dealing with this killing heat.
Advocate #2: Solutions, not excuses.
Milkman #1: As you wish, Advocate.
Advocacy: As we order, scientist!
| Wilson: I don't see any mention about that amnesia theory you told me about a few weeks ago.
Harrison: Oh, essentially, that's the theory that's made popular by people who believe in UFOs, General.
Norton: Which should, all weird things being considered, include all of us in this room.
| Chin: (translating) She's saying something about monsters... No, no, no; about dragons. At least I think it's dragons. And then the dragons disappeared and... and everybody got up and left like nothing ever happened. That's it.
Detective #1: Dragons, huh? Why not ghosts, or hobgoblins, or something I can understand?
| Wilson: And this house has had its own share of history as well. A few nuclear physicists lived here in the early days of the Manhattan Project. And just before you, we kept a KGB defector here. I wonder who the next occupants will be.
Norton: Harrison, does that sound suspiciously like an eviction notice to you?
| Ironhorse: I'm just doing my job, doctor.
Harrison: I wish to God you would let me do mine.
| Norton: My daddy always used to tell me: never get so comfortable with a place – or a woman – that you can't leave in five minutes flat.
Suzanne: That must have been a great comfort to your mother.
Norton: Well, my folks were married forty-two years, had six kids. Must have been doing something right.
| Suzanne: Excuse me, but isn't tapping into that computer just the tiniest bit against the law?
Norton: I don't know. I never asked.
| Ironhorse: Where did you get this list?
Suzanne: Norton has his own way of finding these things out.
Ironhorse: Didn't Mr. Drake get the message? Didn't any of you people get the message? This operation is terminated. You people are no longer in the alien-busting business.
Harrison: You could bring this list to General Wilson, Colonel, and you could ask him to give us more time.
Ironhorse: Oh, really? And what am I supposed to say to the general, that the aliens are trying to take over the world by cornering the market on plastic tubing?
| Advocate #3: We've been away from battle far too long.
Advocate #1: It will be good to resume.
| Ironhorse: All right, you've worn me down. I'll go with you. But you've got to promise me one thing: if you're wrong, you're going to get the hell out of my life and stay out.
Harrison: I won't even send you a Christmas card.
| Ironhorse: He's carrying enough radiation he should have died days ago.
Harrison: Maybe he did.
| Young Wife: This has gone on long enough, Ralph. Three days and you haven't been home. You don't call. You don't return my calls.
Ralph: I've been working.
Young Wife: You really expect me to believe that? This is a factory, not a hospital. I mean, how important could this be?
Ralph: I've been working.
Young Wife: What's her name, Ralph? You owe me that much! Who is she? (to another worker) Why is he treating me like this?
Milkman #2: He's been working.
Young Wife: Good, then he'll have plenty of money for a divorce lawyer. Did you hear me, Ralph?
(the workers all stop to stare at her; she leaves and they resume their work)
Ironhorse: I don't know whether or not these guys are aliens, doctor, but they are definitely weird.
| Suzanne: Uncle Hank, are you sure about this?
Wilson: If I'm wrong, I'll apologise in the morning.

When Mrs. Pennyworth leaves to offer Norton some snacks, Harrison adds "I'm sure he would." But his lips don't match.
| While listening to the team's account of the refrigeration factory, Wilson has his hands on the arm of the chair, but they are clasped in front of his face when it cuts immediately to the next shot.
| When Wilson tells Suzanne that he's "getting too old for this," his lips don't appear to be moving.
| Ironhorse shoots Ralph, but he clearly pulls the trigger after the sound of the gunshot.
| With their objective clearly being to "get the hell out of here," it's not explained why Harrison and Ironhorse proceed into the factory and climb up to the roof of the building.
