The Newcomers represented every disenfranchised minority to ever come to this country. I always thought they were reminiscent of the Vietnamese boat people. The humans didn't welcome the Tenctonese with open arms for the most part. The episodes were character - driven with less emphasis on gadgetry, etc.
whats the footage of the UFO from? Was it made for the show? Or is it some footage of an alleged UFO sighting?

I think Albert Einstein had a girlfriend called May O'Naise. But that was a long time ago.

I gotta confess I loved some of the crazy Newcomer names that were assigned to them - " Paul Bearer ", " Norman Conquest ", " Mort Dakota " & such.
