Nick & Todd are back for the first "Alien Nation" 1-hour episode entitled "Fountain of Youth." This is an episode that explores the topic of aging from two different angles. Something about Tenctonese physiology may help slow or even reverse aging in humans, and Susan struggles to find work in her field due to her age.
- This is the first installment of "Alien Nation" to have a standard weekly opening credit sequence. How did Nick & Todd feel about it and the sequence's very alien-sounding theme song?
- How much alien religion & culture is subtly packed into one quick & low-budget Tenctonese funeral scene? Which shows did Nick & Todd site as also being low budget and them being very forgiving of that for great story?
- Which beloved recurring character is introduced in this episode and what kind of heard-but-not-seen companion(s) does that character come with?
- Which non-cop character from the main cast do the co-hosts really enjoy?
- What did the co-hosts think about how oddly close Matt & George sit on a sofa, about a dark & depressing quote from Matt near the end of the episode, and the prejudice subtly portrayed by one support guest character?
- How frustrating was Matt in this episode as a cop and as a person in general?
- How did this episode lead to a lesson about HIPAA & patient privacy?
- What various issues did the co-hosts have with a party scene in this episode?
- Which movie does Nick site as having a similar premise as this episode?
- How many guest actors in this episode have also been in the "Star Trek" franchise?
- At what rate do Tenctonese age, and how old are Nick & Todd in Tenctonese years?
- And, which fashion statements do Nick & Todd site from this episode?
Listen now for the answers to these questions that will hopefully age well?
