- GoofsIn the opening moments we first see The Invaders' Flying Saucer, which lands flat on the ground. Yet, in all subsequent appearances, the ship is shown to have five landing legs that retract from the underside, one with a ladder. This is the only instance where the saucer is shown without landing legs.

Narrator: [Opening Narration] How does a nightmare begin? For David Vincent, architect, returning home from a business trip, it began at a few minutes past four on a lost Tuesday morning, looking for a shortcut that he never found. It began with a welcoming sign that gave hope of black coffee. It began with a closed, deserted diner and a man too long without sleep to continue his journey. In the weeks to come, David Vincent would go back to how it began many times.

"Beachhead" is the pilot of "The Invaders" series, with the beginning of the saga of David Vincent to prove that the aliens are among us. I saw this series when I was a boy broadcast in black-and-white television, and I recall that the series was very engaging. Now I bought the DVD box to see the series again. The plot is a tale of obsession and paranoid of a man that searches for the truth about an alien invasion. Roy Thinnes makes the presentation of this first episode, and the show is in color. In this pilot, the architect David Vince travels to Kinney, where he finds evidence of the dangerous alien invasion. However, all apparatuses are removed, and his partner and friend Alan Landers die after witnessing the strange tubes in the hydro-electric plant. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Cabeça de Praia" ("Beachhead")
