What's the relation between the 1st episode airing in April this year and the 2017 statement you made about the defense department spending?...

The episode opens with the New York Times report in 17 about the Pentagon UFO program. Not seen it yet but the episode was not liked by Jason Colavito.

Review of Ancient Aliens S13E01 "The UFO Conspiracy"

As we bring this turkey in for a landing, the narrator circles back to Segment 1 and recaps what we already heard about disclosure and the New York Times and UFOs, and we listen to various ufologists and John Podesta wax poetic about their desire for UFO disclosure. Giorgio Tsoukalos laments that “nobody cared” about the Times story, and the narrator asks if the U.S. government and other countries will reveal the truth about UFOs. But nobody stops to ask the more sobering and frightening question: What if they already have shared everything they know, and they actually know nothing?

Overall, this was both an expected episode for the series, given the publicity surrounding To the Stars Academy, but also an unusual choice for a season premiere. The episode had only token appearances from their two most recognizable ancient astronaut theorists—Tsoukalos and Childress—and many in the regular cast are absent altogether in favor of a ragtag group of largely anonymous ufologists and paranoiacs. The subject also had virtually no connection to the “ancient” half of the show’s title, despite another token effort to shoehorn in some irrelevancies. The added hour of runtime doubled the length, but not the depth, of the episode, and at twice the length, the essential laziness of the production team, and the cheapness of the production, stand out in stark relief. In the four months between December and now, they could have done all manner of investigation—or even just made use of published inquiries into To the Stars Academy—but they chose not to. Oddly, watching on a screener in which the computer animation wasn’t ready, these problems are even more obvious because the visual doodad aren’t there to distract from the threadbare narrative and complete lack of effort to do anything more than to read the internet at us and call it a TV show.

Explanation of a SEASON for TV shows.
https://www.quora.com/How-long-is-one-season-on-a-TV-show
How long is one season on a TV show? That depends on who is producing the show. In the US a standard full season for ABC, NBC, and CBS tends to be 26 episodes, split between before and after Christmas. However, “midseason” replacements can be 10–14 episodes. Some series produced for cable or satelite networks are only 10–13 episodes and that is considered a full season. AMC’s Into the Badlands has aired two seasons of 10 episodes each. In essence, the length of a season or series is determined by the network.

i have never been a fan of this show mostly because it takes critical thinking right out the window, also its to time to pull the plug, the show has run out of (good) material

Liked the opening episode, not as outlandish but a bit repetitious padding out the double length.
Will take a look at Bigelow's 60 minutes interview.

Episode 2 Da Vinci's Forbidden Codes
There are those who believe that Leonardo da Vinci was inspired by an extraterrestrial intelligence, that his paintings are embedded with secret knowledge, and contain codes, that when deciphered will provide the keys to unlocking the universe.

Episode 3 The Alien Protocols
In 2017, a strange, cigar-shaped object enters the solar system from another star system, travelling in such an unusual trajectory it causes some astronomers to suggest that it could be an extraterrestrial craft.
We don't know what protocols governments might have for how we interact with our extraterrestrial visitors.

Episode 4 Earth's Black Holes
Episode 5 Signatures of the Gods

Episode 2, Da Vinci's Forbidden Codes focused on some infrared diagnostics:
Dr. Maurizio Seracini uses infrared diagnostic techniques to uncover the "under-drawing", or preliminary sketch of da Vinci's unfinished "Adoration of the Magi". The analysis reveals more details than can be seen by the naked eye - figures, horses, architecture. The scene was of a pagan temple, rising through the ruins of a Christian church. The newly discovered image was of an Egyptian temple being rebuilt. One of the temple columns is capped by a lotus flower, the Egyptian "flower of life".

"The flower of life" refers to the information behind the creation of the universe and sacred geometry. It is believed by mystics to be a symbol of advanced super-consciousness, and gives access to cosmic extraterrestrial knowledge. Da Vinci was obsessed with this idea.

Episode 3 The Alien Protocols had an interesting section on panspermia based on research at Sheffield Hallam University:
Wainwright and Rose believe life on Earth originated in space, the concept of panspermia. The Panspermia theory is that microbial life travels through space to Earth. Their experiments sample the air at high altitude, and show that microscopic organisms are continually arriving from space.

The team launches a hydrogen balloon 23 miles into the air, carrying a device that captures samples of non earth-based microbial life. After the capture, the device is released and parachutes back to earth. In a sterilized clean room, the team analyzes the samples and view them with an electron microscope. Wainwright believes the sample is biological. The sample size is 200 microns; nothing larger than six microns can reach the sampled altitude from Earth, which means that the particle came from space. The sample is evidence of life from another planet.

Another sample, previously found, showed a titanium ball, which contained biological material. The titanium sphere sample suggests that an alien civilization is seeding planets with biological matter, what is called "directed panspermia." The discovery could be the best evidence yet that aliens seeded life on Earth.

4 Earth's Black Holes
Theorists speculate about the existence of black holes on Earth, which may explain strange disappearances and other inexplicable phenomena.

Episode 6: Area 52
A look at whether or not Area 51's notoriety acts as a cover-up to much bigger, top-secret extra-terrestrial experiments taking place at multiple locations

A review suggested Ancient Aliens was doing Ufology a disservice by keeping the focus on one particular section of the discussion.
#Podesta on Ancient Aliens: This is what’s wrong with ‘ufology’

The third episode on US gov protocols got a comment:
"Now is this the same US government that is secretly being guided by the Nordic aliens or the US government that is secretly being manipulated by the greys or the US government that that is secretly made up of Reptilians?"

Well episode 7 Area 52 suggested that private airspace companies are being used to avoid freedom of information requests.
A bit routine but with an interesting piece with Dr Travis Taylor (who fronts the Tesla Files, also produced by Prometheus).
He suggested from study of alien meta materials, that they frequency change EM.
