And now, a word from our Guest Reviewer, Lori Summers:
Tonight on 'The Loneballoonmen': Our heroes meet a strange man who may or may not have been transported by aliens from a parallel universe. Oh, and there's goo.
Rating: 9.0 out of 10
Quick summary...Byers and Jimmy meet a man named Adam Burgess who has found someone else living his life and he's not recognized by anyone he knows. He thinks he's been transported by aliens from a parallel universe where everything is the same except him, but it soon comes out that his memory has been modified via electrodes implanted on his brain. There are also little people who wrestle, a guy with one eye and did I mention alien goo?
In my opinion, this was the strongest episode to date. These are theballoonmen I know and love. Smart, capable, determined and compassionate. There was an almost zero bumbling factor (except for Jimmy, where it's sort of built-in) and the guys did some great detective work. The plot was reminicent of The X-Files (neck

The Lone Gunmen Show Summary

Spin-off of The X-Files featuring the trio of computer-hacking conspiracy geeks popularly known as The Loneballoonmen. Never ones to stray far from the center of corporate and government intrigue, the threesome of John Byers, Melvin Frohike, and Richard Langly play like a misguided Mission Impossible team, embarking on a series of comic adventures that simultaneously highlight their genius and ineptitude. While their newfound independence inspires them to investigate even the most shadowy of conspiracies, their social skills remain stagnant, which only makes their lives more difficult when they learn their chief competitor in the 'information business' is the brilliant and beautiful Yves Adele Harlow. Perpetually short of funds to publish The Loneballoonmen newspaper, Byers, Frohike and Langly begrudgingly take on Jimmy Bond as an unlikely benefactor who bankrolls their missions and joins them in their investigations to uncover the truth.
