The aliens took David on the spaceship and apparently to another world, but when he awoke on the spaceship afterwards he said "It was all in my mind" and "It's wrong". So it's not clear to me if he was actually taken to another planet or if he was just unconscious on the spaceship the whole time and everything that occurred was all in his head. Why the ambiguity about it? Was he really taken to another planet or not?
And what was "wrong" with it as David said? I found nothing to fear or dislike from the world he was apparently taken to. It didn't seem at all sinister to me or made me feel as if the aliens were something to fear from what I saw. The whole scene on the other planet left me confused because it looked like a great place to me.
And why don't the aliens just slap one of their discs onto the back of David's neck to eliminate him quickly and efficiently? The discs apparently give humans an immediate heart attack and death, so why the elaborate scheme to get him drunk and behind the wheel of a car where he has a chance of surviving when they can simply kill him with their disc?
Either these aliens are really dumb or they just have a flair for dramatics and want David to live so they can continue to toy with him.
I can see why this series was cancelled after only 2 seasons because there's so many things that confuse the viewer. The lead actor is the only thing that keeps me watching because he's appealing and plays his role good. If it weren't for him, i'd have tuned out of this after the first few episodes.
I did enjoy the trip to the other planet and wish it was done more in depth rather than one short scene and then implied that it was all in David's mind when he woke up.
In fact, I wish they did an entire episode on the other planet where David learns exactly what the aliens want and why they want to take over earth. Hopefully something like that is coming up in the series so i'll keep watching until I can't take anymore.
