He wasn't listed in the closing credits. A shame really since his performance truly set the tone for the episode. If anyone knows, I'd appreciate them answering. It's been 20 years and it still bugs me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-24704724428852297672010-01-26T00:30:00.488-08:002010-01-26T00:30:00.488-08:00I always got the impression that Tom Lazarus (the ...I always got the impression that Tom Lazarus (the writer of this episode) always leaned towards the more sexual humor. <br /><br />That being said, it makes me wonder about the aliens preferences when they inhabit a body.<br /><br />Despite the abrupt ending, I really do enjoy this disturbing episode.To Life Immortalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-39879836291958124482010-01-25T13:05:47.765-08:002010-01-25T13:05:47.765-08:00Thanks for posting that.

If the ending we had had a bit more time to decompress, it might have been more effective, but as it stands, I think I'd have rather the original ending. <br /><br />I also like the snipped of dialogue cut from the Aliens, after they abduct the man from his car:<br /><br /><br />PARAMEDIC/ALIEN<br />(IN ALIENSPEAK, SUBTITLED)<br />I like the female Humans better.<br /><br /><br />PARAMEDIC TWO/ALIEN<br />(IN ALIENSPEAK, SUBTITLED)<br />Me too.<br /><br /><br />I wonder what that was about?Jimtronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138709079942253485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-9189119325921747222010-01-24T19:13:02.917-08:002010-01-24T19:13:02.917-08:00Here's the original ending of "He Feedeth...Here's the original ending of "He Feedeth Among the Lilies":<br /><br />HARRISON<br />I figure, Karen's been traumatized...<br />first by the Aliens, and secondly, by the<br />knowledge there are Aliens walking this<br />planet. She's been shaken to her core.<br />Lost all sense of trust and safety.<br /><br />Suzanne nods. She's with him all the way.<br /><br />HARRISON<br />(continuing)<br />I thought first I should help create<br />an environment of security and safety.<br />A nest. Then I had another idea. Show<br />her life. Show her all the great experiences<br />and places and wonders on this planet...Fill<br />her with the wonder... (turning back to<br />Suzanne) What do you think?<br /><br />SUZANNE<br />(gently, a fact)<br />You're serious about her.<br /><br />Harrison smiles and nods.<br /><br />HARRISON<br />I figure I'll take a month off. I haven't<br />taken a vacation in something like ten<br />years. Then, I'll come back to our mission<br />renewed.<br /><br />IRONHORSE<br />You're going on a trip? Am I missing<br />something?<br /><br />HARRISON<br />This is the perfect time. Norton is still<br />evaluating the data from the interviews.<br />There's no pressing Alien offensive. I have<br />to take care of the other parts of my life.<br />In the long run, it's good for the mission.<br /><br />HARRISON<br />And I'll be only be a phone call away.<br /><br />HARRISON<br />(into phone)<br />Hello.<br />(beat)<br />Put her through.<br />(covering the mouthpiece)<br />Excuse me. It's Karen.<br />(then, into the phone, warm)<br />Hi.<br />(concerned)<br />What?<br />(after a beat)<br />Of course. Right away.<br /><br />Harrison puts down the phone and hurries out.<br /><br />INT. SAFE HOUSE- LIVING ROOM- DAY<br /><br />Tight on Karen. She's been crying.<br /><br />KAREN<br />I can't do it. I want to be with<br />you. I feel what you feel. I know that.<br />But, looking in your eyes...(turning away)<br />I feel so stupid.<br /><br />HARRISON<br />What?<br /><br />KAREN<br />(continuing)<br />I have to get past this part of my<br />life...there's too much pain. Too much<br />darkness. Every time I see you, I see the<br />darkness. I can't help it. I don't want to.<br />I love you so much... but I can't be with<br />you. You helped me face it, to look into the<br />eyes of the devil...But when I see you, I<br />see it...they're connected...I don't want<br />them to be, but they are.<br />(tortured)<br />I have to let you go. It'll never work. God,<br />Harrison, I never thought I'd give up<br />someone I felt this way about....I must be<br />crazy. But, I have to do it...I know in my<br />heart I have to......<br />(kissing Harrison)<br />I'm sorry.

PULL BACK TO REVEAL he's sitting alone on the railing of the balcony off the living room. A fire crackles in background through the window. It's cold. Harrison is dealing with the pain. It's hard. There's sadness. Regret. A whole lot of feelings. We stay with him long enough to know what he's feeling, then Ironhorse moves out and joins him.<br /><br />IRONHORSE<br />Cold.<br /><br />Harrison nods. They both look out in the night.<br /><br />TIGHT ON IRONHORSE<br /><br />glancing over at Harrison to check how he's doing. After a real long beat...<br /><br />IRONHORSE<br />See ya later.<br /><br />TIGHT ON HARRISON<br /><br />nodding again.<br /><br />ANGLE ON IRONHORSE<br /><br />nodding, then heading back inside. When he's inside, Ironhorse looks back to see if Harrison's all right.<br /><br />IRONHORSE'S POV<br /><br />at the back of Harrison, who's looking out into the night.
