I know that the aliens seemed to only be taking children, but did they beam up the 1982 group of creepy, now adult children that were influenced by Drill as well--perhaps to be caretakers to the newest group of children?
shareno they were interrupted by Thomas Harcourt
shareThomas Harcourt's brother Elliot was possessed by Drill in 1982 in the same way that Cassandra was. Thomas killed Elliot before he could send the signal, thus foiling Drill's plans. Clearly at that point the kids the 'Then-Drill' had re-programmed went into Sleeper mode.
It's too cerebral! We're trying to make a movie here, not a film!

Yes, but you did not give your opinion whether the now grown up kids from 1982 were taken by the aliens along with the 2015 kids to have some horrible or wonderful fate on an alien world,or whether they were left on Earth to have horrible or wonderful fates in an unknown future.
I didn't say 'so the kids never went into space' but I said Drill's plans were foiled - if he couldn't send the signal then he couldn't call his mates in outer space. He died, the glowing blue rocks never arrived, the kids went into sleeper mode etc etc. To me, that's what has been implied in the series.

I think you're misunderstanding TC's question. He/She isn't asking if the 1982 children were taken in 1982. You're right Drill died so they couldn't have been taken in 1982. He/She is asking if they were taken in the present along with the present children affected by Drill.
My answer would be no to 1982 children(now adults) being taken along with present-day Drill-influenced children. The present-day children were all instructed to different points in the Fibonacci sequence. We never saw any of 1982 children directed to similar points in the sequence. So, I think it was probably just the present-day children taken.

OK in that case yes... I thought OP was asking if they were taken in 1982. Your answer would be my interpretation, that only kids were taken in present day, NOT any 1982 adults that were Drill's 1982 friends. Apologies to OP.

As a couple of people have pointed out I misunderstood your post. Sincere apologies! No my belief is they didn't beam up the 1982 Drill-fiend adults in present day... I think that their intentions towards the children in whatever place they end up in is not that pleasant. I had put forward (in another post) the idea that in fact Drill was a human child originally... who better to recruit other human children? These kids are 'converted' into whatever life form or energy that Drill is.
But Scatkitties your idea is valid... we didn't see this in Ep 13 however so personally the answer would be it was only the kids that were beamed up. Series 2 could prove this theory wrong!

They certainly won't be very pleased to get Claire instead of Henry, you can bet on that.
