  Episode Notes  
According to the information given in this episode, the 1953 invasion began on August 28th and ended on September 2nd. Although it is unknown if this is canonical, it nevertheless remains one of the few pieces of information that doesn't contradict anything in the first season.
 
All of the scenes that take place in 1953 are in black-and-white. The same technique of scenes in the past playing in black-and-white is employed in Friday the 13th: The Series, which was another show of Frank Mancuso Jr.'s.
 
  Episode Goofs  
It's stated that the invasion force in 1953 actually died. This not only confuses the first season backstory, but contradicts the second season's premiere episode. Additionally, Harrison quotes Dr. Forrester's belief that the aliens weren't killed, which is taken from the first season, but he goes on to add "at least not right away." Once again, whether he is quoting Forrester (who is mentioned to have been ostracised due to his belief that the aliens might come back), or adding his own assumption, it is a major ignorance of the first season.
 
Malzor has only 12 hours to remain in 1953. However, it is daylight the entire time he stays. Even if he arrives just at the sun is dawning, it doesn't appear to be getting dark when he leaves.
 
Harrison calls Sylvia "Mrs. Forrester". This is another continuity problem as the first season never states that she married Clayton as she was often referred to as "Ms. Van Buren".
 
At the press conference shown on the television Harrison is watching in the window, we see General Mann climbing into the vehicle where he stands to answer a few more questions. It then cuts to Harrison where in the window's reflection, we see Mann climbing into the vehicle again.
 
The suits the invaders are seen wearing is another ignorant element. They are not alien designs, but crudely fabricated early in the first season from human resources on Earth soley as a means of protecting those who remain in the Nevada caverns (namely the Advocacy) from immense radiation levels.
