This is one of the reasons why people adore the Eighties and Nineties. People made jumps, took risks, thought outside the box. They were living in 4D Surroundsound, while we're barely 2D most of the time. Maybe it lasted only 13 episodes, but it went WAY WAY beyond the fiction - and some of the philosophy - that we have these days. Now, so many 'creative' people are just whip-driven cattle and the money men are so powerful, they can ruin everything for DECADES. Maybe longer.
I see a very heavy influence of Isaac Asimov's Foundation series in this episode. When The Visitor starts expounding on the possibility of " predicting the future " via a scientific method he runs EXTREMELY close to the idea used in Mr Asimov's books, the idea behind PschoHistory. The use, the study of people historically in order to predict future events...all figured mathematically.
The Visitor is an American science fiction television series created by Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin which aired on Fox from 1997-98. It starred John Corbett (Nothern Exposure, Sex in the City) as pilot Adam McArthur who was abducted by extraterrestrials 50 years earlier and escapes back to Earth, chased by military & FBI.
This series was years ahead of its times. It starts where X-Files ends it was super but Fox was so stupid they did not know what they had and like Star Trek it got cancelled.
Brilliant cast all work really good together, Dean and Roland two brilliant minds, thank you for Stargate film, it triggered off the series, amazing work guys Forgot to add, thank you SetTheFallen for posting the episodes Colonel Vise, don't give up your day job, ya can't sing 😂
One of the best scifi shows if not the best. I've searching for this everywhere. Thank you for putting this out for all the fans of this series. Wish they would restart this show.
One of the best? Less than three minutes in, he does not understand a metal detector, but is a computer expert. Poorly written and even more poorly thought out.
Bill Henry You must have skipped over the pilot. He was wholly unfamiliar with the computer, at first, too. But he quickly became an expert after speed-reading the manual, and some “hacking” magazines.
Thinking about watching this series... Watch Pilot first then the other 12 episodes. Gives you everything a Sci-Fi fr 1997-98 could give you!! Excellent story. You'll want to finish a total of 13 episodes!! Binge watching Sci-Fi? It's time well spent! DO IT!! Cheers.
What a shame this only got to 13 episodes, it does look promising. Never heard of it, I don't think it made it to the UK; this could easily be rewritten & updated!! Thanks for the UL ;-)
Let's expand on that. His research paper, according to the military, was fancy talk for electromagnetic induced levitation, then talking about using it both ways. Faraday's Coil is a ring wrapped in copper wire that can induce electricity by passing it in a magnetic field. But by running a current through the wire, you can inversely induce an electromagnetic field as well. This study not only creates electromagnets, but also the school where Faraday studied has used it to create levitation of metal objects.
Great movie; actually very very interesting. Mind you, John Corbett's supposed to look like Beau Bridges. bet you ten to one. Acts like him too, but not as well; Bridges' face reveals a thousand different expressions in every shot, this guy is moon faced, albeit handsome, but it's still a great script. I've forgotten the character Bridges was playing; some kind of alien who was adorably naive and learning to become a human or something.
Thank you so much for posting this series! I remember watching it when it originally aired and how during a turbulent time (Y2k approaching and it seemed like terrorism was happening EVERYWHERE), yet this show brought a little respite. Watching it again almost 20 years later, during another chaotic time, I'm reminded that everything turns out okay.
One of my first crushes that nearly burned me to the ground. More than gorgeous though, the character himself is lovely, charismatic, compelling and absolutely defying the 'laws' of the really sick people who are in charge these days. And it's hard to resist a #Rebel #BestKindofBadBoy
Hahaha, gets up from the computer after seeing himself in it, steps over to the camera that's videoing him & laughs. Then see him walk out right past the security or police who are *_suppose_* to be stopping him.

God i would have ripped that rifle from that dudes grubby hands andtossed him in cuffs. That was one of the most dangerous and highly illegal things he could have done.
Yep, it was really great, I don't think I've seen a plane chase like that even in a movie!! I'd like to slap the idiot at the network who didn't pick this up, sometimes you have to give the audience time. Shame about the ending, it felt like we missed some scenes, one minute escaping, next second in jail with no explanation, maybe they over ran on time? This also feels like a pilot as it had it's own ending, just in case they didn't get to make anymore. Thanks again for the UL.
Faraday any relation to the scientist Faraday, who founded eddy currents of dropping a magnet though copper creates a electric current and made a static electricity instrument ? Faraday cage for Emp
Daniel Saez pardon. I can put up the option so others can fix subtitles for other fans 🙂 Going to get to it tomorrow though if I got time (need my pc to fix that). Habla espanol fix subtitularla fans. Pardon, no habla espanole, y espanole bad. 😅
There is about a 4 or 5 second piece of music that is exactly like some from SG-1. The ending has them flying off in the fighter and the next moment has Faraday locked up by the military guy. Huh..?
What’s the point of working? All you get is grief, practically all the money goes straight out in deductions and housing costs, and our taxes are used to finance insane policies, even to further national decline.
That's a 5/8 or 3/4 scale P51 Mustang kit plane. Several manufacturers in the U.S. make them, and they are not actually called a P51 because they aren't one. S51, Thunder Mustang, etc. The skin is polished aluminum. Any airplane with Aluminum skin can be polished to look like that. Not done too often because it requires constant polishing to keep it non-oxidized and not tarnished looking.
It is too near the truth of what consciouness is , it all and parcel of the universe., it must have been pulled for that reason, everything has Consciousness whether a tree, Rocks , water etc Mystics and Bhuddists bound this long time ago I have tried sending thought just the energy not an image animals react to it.
"Tossing this case to the two clowns in the basement" LOL....Mulder and Scully X-Files
Great show, lots of in-jokes. I particularly like the reference to "Those 2 clowns in the basemenet".Come on UA-cam give us some X-Files

Sad but totally truthful
But we can kp awareness on them.dyt.,?;-()
Best scene: near the start. He yries to access the computer, his powers don't help either, so he slaps it and it works. WE ALL KNOW THE FEELING!!
When it's not working hit it, tried and true method for products in the 80's. Now if you do that they break apart.
@@thebigdog2295 tech companies aleays trying to keep u from fixing ur own stuff so u will buy another.😡

ZIP Disk, Dialup all on a VHS rip. This is a huge nostalgia trip!
97 to 98 I heard

7:20 "Those 2 clowns in the basement"Do you guys get he means Mulder and Scully. Nice crossover, lol!
I was wondering if anyone else got it, the minute I heard it. They are both, (at least then), FOX shows.
Didn't dawn on me what they were talking about. Now I get it!! LOL
I thought the same thing!!!
Was about to type the same thing, that was great!
I was just about to type that when I saw your post lol I do think that is what he meant
I remember this show. Many of these got cancelled in the 90s.
Ahead of it's time.
This is hilarious. Dr. Faraday, electromagnetic levitation, so many references to a brilliant mind's copper coil ring.
What a shame this only got to 13 episodes, it does look promising. Never heard of it, I don't think it made it to the UK; this could easily be rewritten & updated!! Thanks for the UL ;-)
When they showed Faraday in his garage behind the window with mesh in it all I could think of was... Faraday cage

Thank you! I know I must have seen it before! I had forgotten about it!
What beautiful skin that actor has!
Hahaha, gets up from the computer after seeing himself in it, steps over to the camera that's videoing him & laughs. Then see him walk out right past the security or police who are *_suppose_* to be stopping him.
I can hear a little bit of Star Gate theme in the music on this episode!

My all favorite show❤❤❤❤
Fantastic
The Visitor favorite series
Years later the visitor marries a greek woman.
God i would have ripped that rifle from that dudes grubby hands andtossed him in cuffs. That was one of the most dangerous and highly illegal things he could have done.

"Were you ever locked in a closet when you were a kid, buried in a hole covered with dirt? " "No no, nothing like that..”
There should be a stiff fine for any writer who uses the line: "Something like that." Or a jail sentence of several months.
thanx Bro
thumbs up too down ? super GREAT
Faraday any relation to the scientist Faraday, who founded eddy currents of dropping a magnet though copper creates a electric current and made a static electricity instrument ? Faraday cage for Emp
it was coolest series in that time x-files was good too....
Oil companies have locked down and destoryed countless researches for alternative fuel source.
All that matters is money to them.
Special effects budget 1.million+per episode... that's what killed it... maybe make a boot?in today's market?☮️
the internet so 80s :)
"Or I am tossing this down two those two clowns in the basement" #xfiles
+trevor brown what up trev

no gravity, we all get spun off the planet, we dont need to understand it, just be grateful it works
pueden por favor colocarla en español latino o subtitularla tenia meses buscando esta serie, es lo mejor gracias
Daniel Saez pardon. I can put up the option so others can fix subtitles for other fans 🙂
Going to get to it tomorrow though if I got time (need my pc to fix that).
Habla espanol fix subtitularla fans.

2 clowns in the basement...…….obviously mulder and scully
33:18 Stargate Theme~ish
Fox get some good shows back on your station. WTF this is what sci-fi buffs want to see.
This show is good fun... escape reality type stuff.
after reading the write up i notice there was a pilot episoded....has that been uploaded on here????
Yah, I uploaded it. Its the first episode.
+1 for X-Files reference at ca. 07:30.
GREAT SERIES...UFO TYPE MOVIE.. LIKE "BIGFOOT ,LOCKNESS,AND OF COARSE "SANTA 🎅" I HAVEN'T👀👀 SEEN HIM EITHER....GEZZZ😞🐟🐟🐟
is that Scott Stewart Bakula from Quantum Leap ??? It sure looks like him when he is on the plane @40:16
and now i have googled can see it isnt lol
There is about a 4 or 5 second piece of music that is exactly like some from SG-1. The ending has them flying off in the fighter and the next moment has Faraday locked up by the military guy. Huh..?
it's david arnold (the composer of roland emmerich (stargate, independance day, ...)
The visitor ends up becoming Emperor Isaac Dornkirk
Watch Nowwhere Man.
Amazed about a metal detector but not computers...
he was amazed about computers in previous episode, then learned them
Good episode....not much for that nerdy kid though.(ls)

My life is in a turmoil of health problems and severe anxiety. Could Adam please pay me a visit asap?
Government stopped it - too much detail ......
why does that plane look like its made from stainless steel ?
WOLFROY47 probably a trick of light 😜

Haha, seriously? Break down the door like storm troopers over a pirated computer game. Fat chance.
guinea pigs dont oink, their not even pigs ie (sus )
Yes, but human guinea pigs go oink, apparently.
Cool series pity its low budget acting. Thankyou for uploading
So . . . advanced alien knowledge, knows computers but is wowed by a metal detector . . . nnkay . . .
. . . can't . . . take . . . the . . . corn . . i ness . . .
no, in previous episode he did not know computers. He learned them
this teen has father issues, but adam isnt his father, time for this teen to grow up instead of following adam all over the place
Story had potential but the presentation is way too geeky...
fiiring at aliena and not a good idea. fire 1 st and... WTF 3 rd 4 5 6 7 8-/////-------//-------////////////// war . do you wanna play a game ?
This series' is boring compared to The X files & especially FRINGE!!!
And you're a douchebag compared to a lot of other people on this forum.
