'Project Blue Book': Abduction, misinterpretation, and a blow to dignity sums up penultimate episode of Robert Zemeckis-produced show

While Quinn and Hynek get into a brawl over truth and lie, Susie makes an inappropriate move towards Mimi.

'Project Blue Book' has been continuing its legacy of bringing back all the confidential files that reported apparent sightings of "unidentified flying objects," but with Episode 9, titled 'Abduction,' it takes a larger leap.

Coming from executive producer Robert Zemeckis, the History Channel show is on its penultimate episode, and let's just say, trauma takes the form of contusion in this tale about abduction, betrayal, and undignified relations.

Starring Aidan Gillen (Dr J. Allen Hynek), Michael Malarkey (Captain Michael Quinn), Laura Mennell (Mimi Hynek) and Ksenia Solo (Susie Miller), episode 9 will see the characters reaching their nadir when it comes to taking a moral stance. 

 

The episode relies considerably on the absurd case of Betty and Barney Hill, the famous couple whose tale of alien abduction was widely publicized in the late '50s, but whose story comes with a little twist on the show.
