I was reading a Resident Alien synopsis somewhere and learned that I completely missed something important about Season 2:
That Goliath is a future version of Harry
I hope that was a quick one-and-done scene and not something hammered home repeatedly. Or else I’m going to have to start paying A LOT better attention.
I added Resident Alien to my Peacock list last night in anticipation/preparation, and re-watched the S2 finale: it gets mentioned point-blank and dramatically once, and then Harry references it later in the episode. Not quite hammered home, though. 
(And I’m glad I re-watched the epsiode, because I’d forgotten a lot of stuff…like that!)
It’s too bad 's Nathan Fillion’s character (“42” the octopus) got eaten, I would’ve liked to see him/it in a recurring role.
Trailer is here. But it’s quite packed with a lot of shots so gives away a bit too much of the good stuff, I think.
And it’s back, baby!
How the heck did the shadowy government agency get their hands on more than a half dozen alien spacecraft in eight years? The one in the center far background resembles a Firefly.
Seasons 1 & 2 are now on Netflix.
The closed captions said 80, if that helps.
Linda really underemphasized that “ty”.
I will miss Sahar. She’s a delight.
Why is she leaving? The actress, I mean.
In one news story I saw a producer or something said “scheduling issues”.
Yeah, I’ll miss the character too.
I’m getting a lot of stories about Resident Alien in my Google News feed lately. Apparently most people had never heard of it before it hit Netflix, but it has risen to Netflix’s number 2 TV series at the moment.
Amazing how stove-piped entertainment is. We expect it with news/“news”, but maybe not so much with scripted series.
I’m glad those people are getting a chance to appreciate this series, anyway.
I think Netflix has brought renewed attention to series that either already ended their runs elsewhere or are still running elsewhere but weren’t getting much attention. Googling, this may be called the “Netflix effect” and one site said shows that benefited from this include Gilmore Girls, Gossip Girl, Breaking Bad and most recently Suits.
Okay, I’m calling the Grey Alien’s Big Plan now: setting off the Yellowstone supervolcano.
“She’s not gone for good,” creator and executive producer Chris Sheridan assures us.
Good news
I just started to watch this and I stopped halfway through the first episode. I couldn’t get past the fact that he just up and murders the guy whose form he stole. They just gloss passed that like it didn’t matter and that bugged me.
I guess you didn’t get to the part where his mission is to exterminate life on Earth, then? Or the extended wacky hijinx around him trying to murder a child?
