I’m hoping in a later season Harry decides the way to save the world involves running for office and the show is renamed _President Alien_. ---

> [@Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > I forgot _Resident Alien_! That’s a show that’s basically carried by Alan Tudyk’s performance. Definitely. I don’t think the show would work as well without his performance. BTW, thanks for the reminder about Mrs Davis. That was an interesting and different show. ---

I’m currently working my way through House, which I somehow never got around to watching back then. ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > In a few weeks, NBC will be broadcasting the Paris Olympics so I assume there will be lots of programming on Peacock. I’m (hopefully) going to be in Ice,and and Glasgow in early August, so I’m probably going to have to set up my DVR to record what I’m interested in during that time. I have access to Peacock, and I’m wondering if any of the events will be available post-Olympics. ---

“Vigil” was a decent miniseries about a police detective solving a murder on a British missile submarine. ---

Yeah, Peacock will have literally **every** Olympic event available based on past experience. But oddly they use the “World Feed” announcers which is a totally different experience from the announcers you’ll see on their “normal” TV coverage. You also get full coverage of the action, not snippets of action interspersed with pre-taped features of the American athletes. The events stay up for about six months from the end of the Games. I caught up on a whole bunch of random winter Olympic events at my leisure in the months after the 2022 Beijing games, but eventually they disappeared from the service.
