I am very sick with Ben’s poo poo, though. Maybe it’s because I’m currently learning how to be better at dealing with people, but it just annoys me.

And Asta’s dad was in Vietnam? Dude should be much better older.

Yeah, it was a nice pay-off, but neither was shot very well at all. Sad, since the stunt work was basically fine.

That was kind of an extreme end to that story arc. Going from "she might be able to survive that" to head come off.

TBH the way they've been pacing that plot I wouldn't put it past the show to bring the actress back in some capacity.

I'll laugh really hard if she's a mech with a tiny alien living in her chest.

The only music they play at the party in this episode is Scrubs end-of-episode music.

This episode was just a bit lame. Also, Ben throwing a birthday party to manipulate Harry into taking a job he quit before, is a bit skeevy.

Its not a season finale, they broke up the season into two parts with the second half airing this summer.

Syfy doesn't exactly have a ton of shows right now so they have to kind of spread things out a little.

That, and the kid actors aging presents a problem for the show. I assume they're writing Max out given the development with his parents.

But yeah, there was some stuff in that episode was unnecessarily rushed. The entire military plotline is such a nothingburger at this point, and I'm not feeling the alien conspiracy stuff either... though I was happy to see Enver Gjokaj turn up, even if it was only for a single shot.

This is actually a really fun show! I missed it completely here in Finland, but I'm a sucker for Alan Tudyk, so this is right up my alley.

Only watched the first episode so far but I am loving the sheriff. "Yeah, give her my number, I'll tell her he's dead, I don't give a poo poo."

The sheriff is really funny and he's so good at being a nerd

The whole cast just feels like very real people

Also I randomly get twin peaks vibes, there had to be some influence there

Yeah, if you remove the alien component, it's very similar to a lot of small town Canadian shows-- Schitt's Creek, Little Mosque on the Prairie, etc. a fish out of water small town comedy with a gentle folksy quality. It could easily be a story about an autistic doctor moving into a small town and struggling with a burgeoning sense of community and family.

It's why some of the alien stuff feels so oit of place right now, because it can't be related to most of the show. Pivoting the plot to be about the most classic of small town villains -- evil land developers -- is a good move. It'll get everyone involved in the plot on a more straightforward basis.

I didn't get around to watching it till today, but I thought the latest episode was very good. And having the alien baby grow up enough to gain the ability to change its appearance to blend in is great. I was wondering how they were going to deal with it for another six episodes - assuming they didn't just have someone kill it, which I thought was a distinct possibility.
