Spoiler alert: we will be discussing important points of the episode, so if you have not yet seen the episode, watch it first and then come back here for our analysis.

A serene, beautiful day on Maple Street, USA. The birds are chirping, children playing, and people washing their cars. All is as it should be, until something unidentifiable flies over head. What was it? No one knows, and that's only the beginning. When technology starts failing all around them, accusations begin to fly. Maybe someone on dear Maple St. isn't who they say they are. Maybe someone is not even from this planet. As neighbors begin to turn on each other, the extraterrestrials need only sit back and watch, as we essentially destroy ourselves. This week on KOI, we're discussing the classic episode "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street." We'll talk about whether or not Steve Brand, played by Claude Akins is a Just Man figure; we'll talk about whether or not we can blame one person more than the others; and I'll reveal to you my moment of awe.
