When the Back-Step team surgically extracts a metallic disc from a deceased alien and implants it in Dr. Ballard, his paralysis is cured. But soon they learn the dangerous alien has been restored to life inside Ballard's body and has renewed his mission to destroy all humanity.

From the official site. I do have one comment. Adam uses a sonic attack to kill everyone. He transmits it through a sattelite. The sattelite sits out in space. There isn't air in space to sransmit sound through!

And how does a chip alter Ballard's appearance as well as his mind? How does it affect his mind, period? And why does it cure his paralysis? Why serve two totally different functions? What's the deal here? I think they're missing the premise of the show here, which is "Backstep to prevent really bad stuff," not "really cool sci-fi junk." I hope they learn fast.

My nitpicks are as numerically proceeds:
1) The encapsulated alien in the background during the autopsy of Adam--it is about time they got to work on him--is slightly moving, particularly around the end of the scene.
2) Lt. Frank Parker's vital signs and other such information are displayed identically preceding and proceeding his workout session involving the acoustics test. What exactly changed?
3) A feasible cure for paralysis is not secured in some type of exclusively accessible storage unit? Dr. John Ballard wheels himself into an alleged laboratory and removes it from a box that resembles something to contain a watch.
4) What is Bradley Talmadge doing being present in the operation room? He is not a doctor.
5) Not truly a nitpick, but it is hilarious to witness Dr. John Ballard being intoxicated.
6) Is it my imagination or are there no secured laboratories in this top-secret facility? Lt. Frank Parker strolls in and out of them as freely as he pleases with no forms of antagonism.
7) Why did Dr. John Ballard utter trajectory twice?
8) Lt. Frank Parker is not performing full push-ups, when Dr. Isaac Mentnor enters Frank's room.
9) The image of the possessed Dr. John Ballard on the monitor Dr. Isaac Mentnor is glancing at is different when compared to his position in the background.
10) Dr. Olga Vukavitch dies at night after returning from the satellite dishes' control center. Apparently, she had also done this instantaneously, considering she caused one of the satellite dishes to be arranged according to the possessed Dr. John Ballard's coordinates just as he activates his supersonic device. Furthermore, it ought to still be day when she returns.
11) Dr. John Ballard's corpse ought to be more stretched out with his face directed upward in the next glimpse we have of him on the ground, since he was previously in this position.
12) I find it hard to believe that Lt. Frank Parker restored the sphere to functional use without any scientific assistance or reference.
13) Again with the images appearing during Backstep that Lt. Frank Parker had not observed firsthand.

I was contending with other matters as this episode was playing, thus I missed a few scenes. Why was Dr. John Ballard explaining to Lt. Frank Parker something along the lines of how he ought to counter the alcoholic effects with helium? What did Comdr. Craig Donovan do to Lt. Frank Parker prior to the commercial break that caused Frankie to be sliding on the ground when the episode resumed? Thank you.

One other nitpick. Dr. John Ballard, in the original time line, moon-walked his way through the entrance--stopping to make reference to the this particular dance step in the process--to the same corridor that always seemingly leads to the conference room and briefly exchanged a few words with the mail lady. The second go around, though, he does not moon-walk at all--and he still makes reference to the move, might I add--and clearly has different interventions with everyone, primarily the mail lady. Rewind your tape and you shall hear different comments, reactions, etc., the second time around.

Kudos to Sam Whipple for a commendable acting job. I was truly convinced that he yearned to regain his peripatetic capability.

This pertains to one of my messages for episode six. ...stopping to make reference to the this particular dance step in the process... = ...stopping to make reference to [this] particular dance step in the process... Typo.
