I decided that I would watch this series through again before the end of the year. I try to watch several series each year all the way through and it's been a while for GAH.
Today, I started with the pilot, naturally. It's nice to come back to it and think about it in a different light after having been absent from it for a few years.
One question I have is about John Mackey. Why is he still dead? We see that the aliens can resurrect people who are dead/dying in later seasons, so why can they not do the same here? Or do they resurrect him after he hands off the suit? He does say it's a whole new life for him, but that seems odd since he is dead.
Additionally, let's do a What If scenario. What if Mackey had been merely captured and held until the plan was completed? Would the aliens have still manifested to Bill and Ralph? If so, who would have been their delivery boy?
Finally, does anyone else see John Mackey as the Bill Cosby incarnate? Since Culp and Cosby were on I SPY together, was this scene where they touched hands a nod to that as Bill will be working with Ralph now?
