Anyone else watching this?

The show is, well odd, it is very funny at times and very cheesy and sometimes poorly acted.

That being said I really enjoy it warts and all.

I can't think of another show like it right now. Every time I thought I know the twist, i didn't.

Love the show talked about it in TV shows. One of my favorites right now

CaptainCrunch · 03-26-2021, 04:47 PM

AT and the Sheriff are stand out characters, pretty much everyone is the straight man to those two.

I love where this show is going.

The internal monologue stuff is hilarious.

The Sheriff has a great singing voice. That karaoke scene was not what I was expecting.

I wonder if the mayor is the baby that was abducted at the start of this week's episode? That might explain why his son can see Harry's true form.

CaptainCrunch · 03-26-2021, 09:47 PM

Woah, dude . . . I . . . that didn't even occur to me, now I'm wondering it the Mayor knows and can see he's an alien, and just doesn't freak out because he was raised by them.

"Allah knows? How many people have you told??"

Had me in stitches.

NSFW language...

Alan Tudyk is an absolute treasure.

He is killing this...I love it.

CaptainCrunch · 03-27-2021, 03:46 PM

The circumcision scene at the start was still the funniest scene when he asks the baby what he's packing.

Yamer · 03-27-2021, 05:17 PM

This is probably my favorite thing on TV right now. I was on board from the first ads I saw months ago. I knew Alan Tudyk would slay in this role.

This show is one of the biggest surprizes I've seen in years

CaptainCrunch · 03-29-2021, 08:55 AM

This weeks episode is the season finale. Now that he's got his device fixed, does he push the button?

Clearly not, but I have been wrong a number of times with this show

CaptainCrunch · 03-29-2021, 12:00 PM

I think there are three possible things.

1) Harry doesn't implode the device, next season is around the chase of him by the government, and his own angry people

2) Harry abducts the town to save them destroys the rest of the world, and next season, Harry has the town in a zoo exhibit that they don't know they're in and he continues to explore his humanity.

3) They do the Sledge Hammer season one ending, where Harry nukes the world kills everyone and next year we have Harry full of guilt getting other Aliens to molecularly shift to take the place of the human's that he killed and the script switches as Harry is the most human in a town of aliens trying to act human.

4) I'm completely wrong on all of these guesses.

So this thread has nothing to do with Spacehog?

Listen I am still pissed about buying that CD, #### that band.

Aside from 1 song that album was hot garbage.

Alas...another unfortunate victim of the Spacehog Album.

We have a support group, we meet at the bar.

"This is some Bull####"

I enjoyed last nights episode.

This is a quirky show.

CaptainCrunch · 04-01-2021, 08:53 AM

Loved the ending of it for sure. They did some neat things with the mayor and his wife, and really did a great job of Darcy and developing her as someone that's so completely and utterly lost and deep down feels completely hopeless.

So Linda Hamilton is playing a different game then I thought. She's not just a general looking for aliens. Theres something else there.

AT played the alien last night that is actually just as much of a child as anyone else. His reaction to rejection and how much it hurts and then petulently deciding to destroy the world was excellent.

I expect that he realizes that he can't go home, without the Pizza.

Loved that last line and the sound track.

I really like this series, its quirky, the writing is strong and the acting is strong.
