[1] I got excited about it in the first half (although I thought the
people were a bit too trusting), but the second half disappointed
me. Perhaps that's because the first half set up the themes and
the second just continued the plot.
[2] Does this symbol look familiar to anyone?:

[3] Why must the television audience be persuaded that these aliens are
NOT our friends only by showing that they don't look like us, or worse
that they look monstrous? I think the different eyes would be enough
to let us know that they're hiding something.
[4] Did anyone get the feeling they were watching Prime Minister Chamberlain
when the UN Secretary General got out of the space ship ("peace in our
time", I believe it was)?

The UN Secretary General reminded you of Chamberlain? Aw, c'mon,
he didn't look a bit like Dr. Kildare or Anjin-san!
