Resident Alien - US Pace - Syfy (**Spoilers**)

Agent Coulson

The always watchable Alan Tudyk stars as Harry from Dark Horse comics Resident Alien.

Harry, an alien played by Alan Tudyk (“Rogue One,” “Firefly”) that crash lands on Earth and passes himself off as a small-town human doctor. Arriving with a secret mission to kill all humans, Harry starts off living a simple life… but things get a bit rocky when he’s roped into solving a local murder and realizes he needs to assimilate into his new world. As he does so, he begins to wrestle with the moral dilemma of his mission and asking the big life questions like: “Are human beings worth saving?” and “Why do they fold their pizza before eating it?”

Starts in January


The opening 7 minutes trailer.

Found a teaser trailer:

The premise looks like a solid deviation on the trope of "newcomer aclimitises to small town American life, and learns Important Lessons along the way". Can't get a handle on what the tone is going to be here; thing is, it's SyFy, so I _immediately_ presume this will be cancelled after 5 episodes if it's not a hit from the get-go.

Starts January 27th

After the first episode I will definitely be tuning in for the rest

Some very funny moments in it

Didn't realise there was a thread for it, as we said in the off topic thread, definitely has a darker edge than trailer suggested. I'll stick with it too, plenty going on and some funny bits in it.

The same here. Was very impressed after the first 7 or 8 minutes and it had not even gotten funny yet but when it did buy was it funny. Also I loved the

Pub scene and also the fact the showed what he was actually like quite early on in the episode

I was really expecting this to be crap but was pleasantly surprised. Hope it can keep it up.

fritzelly

Alan Tudyk's deadpan delivery definitely helps with the humour part of it

Agent Coulson

I have to say I was impressed with with a nice dark humour.

Second episode just as good as the first - maybe even a bit more

Just taking a selfie - lmao

Agent Coulson

Really enjoyed that episode.

Thought the second episode was very funny especially that tit part

AMKC

The second episode a bit of a let down. Definitely not as funny as the first episode. It looks like the kid and alien thing is going to run for a while. The bowling alley but was predictable. I did however enjoy seeing the part about him trying to get used to a human body and the cow part was funny too.still could have been better. Hopefully the next few episodes are.

AMKC

Third episode much better than the second one thankfully. Hopefully it can keep even that good. The second episode just felt so forced anytime they tried to make it funny but the first and third episodes were spot on.

Him trying to sleep lol just brilliant

CastorTroy

How long until he and the kid team up? Maybe to stop the guys from the end of the episode

Forever. Not a hope
The kid hates him. I do not know why? How cool would it been the only one in a town able to see an Alien. If I was a kid and could I would be stuck to the alien asking a million questions lol.

Agent Coulson

I have to say I am really enjoying this and loving the humour in it.

The Cheers opening was great.

fritzelly

Not many comedies make me laugh (coz they're crap) but this one certainly does

CastorTroy

If there's one character I would want less of, it's Darcy. Either give her less scenes or have her toned down.

Maybe I don't understand basketball, but how do you score for the other team if just playing with one hoop?

PsychoPete

With the basketball scene I assumed one team tries to score while the other team tries to stop them


I really enjoy this show especially with how the humour is used like that law and order bit

CastorTroy

The alien hunter woman reminded me of Stana Katic. Or a cross between Stana and Rachel Leigh Cooke

AMKC

Episode 4 not the best or the worst
Just not many laughs in it and some did not hit the mark or were very forced. Still the bit with the two of them looking at the stars and him talking and thinking about his home planet was good.

Alan's facial gymnastics are very well done in showing someone clueless trying to fit in.
It's nowhere near 3rd Rock from the Sun's hilarity,
I wouldnt go further than saying it is amusing. There were a lot of standard well-worn romcom jealousy tropes in ep4 which left me cold.

fryup

so what now????

is there going to be another series?

Agent Coulson

Really liked the kids holding the breaths such a kid thing to do

Greg81

Loved the "tight space" joke

fryup

no belly laughs from me, but it does bring a smile to my face and passes an hour nicely

CastorTroy

So now I find out there's a censored and uncensored version
Censored:
"Are you with me man?"
Spoken: "No of course not" Thought: "Chicken a$$ b!tch"

Uncensored
"Are you f**king with me man?"
Spoken: "No of course not" Thought: "I'm definitely f**king with him"

Which version airs here?

TheValeyard

Loving it. Some funny moments all right.

Agent Coulson

Another great episode this week I look forward to it every week as I know it will make me smile.


Hipster Barista Harry and Stoned Harry just made my day.

How do you humans deal with failure - Medication LMAO

Is this a sci-fi/comedy show or a human nature study?

fryup

I disagree. I would call it a scifi comedy show.

Was a rhetorical question
