Episode 23 : "The Trial"

Summary

I've always liked courtroom dramas, and The Invaders wouldn't be complete without their day in court.

Review

"Well your honor, if the defence isn't ready, the prosecution is." Throughout this episode, wrong signals are given off about which one of the attourneys is an alien. The result really surprised me the first time I saw this episode. After re-watching it many times, I find I pay more attention to the character of Charlie the accused, someone who is built to be a sympathetic character, even though he freely admits that he would probably have killed Fred Wilks regardless of his status as a human or an alien.
