History's Project Blue Book soars along with this fourth episode, touching on both the Nazi's involvement in the U.S. space race, and the Chiles-Whitted Incident, where passengers on a commercial aircraft witnessed a UFO in flight.
Suffice to say, this is a packed hour of TV... well, packed 42 minutes actually.
Things are starting to come to a head with the show, which gives our heroes Hynek and Quinn a look at a possible alien body, and viewers a look at an experimental U.S. aircraft that could explain the mass of UFO sightings, not to mention the creation of crop circles.
In fact, this episode does a good job of linking UFO conspiracy to the U.S. government, which suddenly made the plot seem a bit more grounded than it has been.
Lots of questions arise too, including why are the Russians spying on the Hyneks, when will Hynek's wife, Mimi, tell her husband about Susie Miller, not to mention clue in that Susie showed up at the same time Hynek joined Blue Book?
I hope Project Blue Book doesn't reach an X-Files level of convoluted and confusing. I'm still digging what I'm seeing, and can tell the show runners have a plan, but I hope they keep things simple enough that viewers don't get lost in an implausible mess. This is History, after all.
Still, this episode rates a Good.
