Great trailer. Looks like the kid who plays Max shot up about 8 inches. ---

Look at the one frame of Sahar. I was just noticing how she’s like 7 feet now. ---

Excellent!! …and I’m _so_ glad it will be streaming on Peacock, because I ditched cable last year. 🙂 ---

I watched the two previous seasons but don’t remember George Takei’s voice. Googling, he was in two episodes as the Grey alien who told Harry about the invasion plan. ---

Starting about a minute into this clip. They weren’t trying to hide it, he even says “Oh, my”. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/y005O4BR9L4/maxresdefault.jpg "Harry Makes Contact with MORE Aliens | Resident Alien (S2 E13) | SYFY") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y005O4BR9L4) ---

He also has that great line about “I’m freezing my grey dick off!” ---

Are the prior seasons available anywhere? Been a l-o-n-g time since last season and could use a refresher. ---

I think that you can stream them on Peacock. ---

I got Peacock for a couple of months. Mainly to watch the earlier seasons of Resident Alien. I also watched a few other shows. Then cancelled it. ---

Oh, it’s coming back. These short series with huge breaks between them are becoming my pet peeve of TV watching. I have no idea what is happening anymore. ---

Me either, but fortunately I don’t need to follow the plot very closely. I just look at the pretty moving pictures and laugh at the jokes. After a while I catch up. ---

> [@muldoonthief](#): > > I’m assuming this break (Sep 22 to Feb 24) was due in part to the writers’ & actors’ strikes. I guess, if they had like one episode left to film. Most things stuck on the strike just resumed. Percy Jackson, for example, was clearly shot a year ago since Lance Reddick was in it. Chucky had to air half-a-season because the had 2-3 days left in filming. They are delivering/airing their episodes in a couple months.
