What happened to Matt? Who or what brought him back? Was it a Tenctonese spiritual healer, a Tenctonese special power, a Human medical anomaly, or just an unexplainable miracle? Were crystals involved, and where did Matt get a crystal? We watched & reviewed this episode of "Alien Nation," and we're still not sure. Listen now and help us figure out, "Rebirth."

- What moment of alien religion & culture did one co-host point out as interesting & enjoyable?

- What about the opening scene was confusing to one co-host?

- What aspect of the beginning of the episode led one co-host to bring up the movie "The American President" and count the similarity as a small, weird perk of this episode?

- How did the previous weird tangent lead the other co-host to reciting a deep quote about politics?

- What about both Matt *and* George, mostly related to this episode's Little League baseball subplot, annoyed one co-host? If any listeners are baseball fans, what do baseball stats have to do with actually playing the game?

- Did anything about the Little League baseball subplot work at all for either co-host?

- What about this episode led to mentions of "The X-Files" episode "The Unnatural" and the "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" episode "Take Me Out to the Holo-Suite"?

- Was this episode's music montage great or terrible?

- Did the imperfect Little League baseball subplot have a satisfying ending?

- What confusions does one co-host have about the intersection ...if any...of the possible-miracle-worker garbageman subplot and the crystal cult subplot? Are they really connected, or are the similar themes in the same episode just a coincidence?

- What do the co-hosts have for this week's "Yikes, Sikes!" segment?

- How many subplots in this one episode did one co-host count as missed opportunities?

- Which co-host continues to get character actors Brian Thompson and Jeff Kober confused?

- According the "Unofficial Companion" book, did even the producers of the show have issues with the final product of this episode?

- And, which unsuspecting "Alien Nation" actor actually took ballet in college?

Listen now for the answer to these and other home run questions as we resurrect..."Rebirth."
