It had been whispered since the first episode of Star Trek: Picard flickered across the screen. Those whispers grew more excited and hopeful as the season progressed and faces from Jean-Luc Picard’s past began showing up in episode after episode. And as we learned that there will be more Next Generations connections coming in season […]
In the end, Harry Vanderspiegle – resident alien of Patience, Colorado, couldn’t (or wouldn’t) let his doomsday device obliterate all of humanity. But to get to that point was quite the ride, wasn’t it? The season finale of Resident Alien (“Heroes of Patience”) showed us just how much humanity had seeped into the heart (hearts?) […]
The recently-released feature-length documentary, “Woman In Motion: Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek and the Remaking of NASA,” chronicles the inspiring, untold story of how Star Trek actress Nichelle Nichols transformed her sci-fi television stardom into a real-life science career. In 1977, she embarked on a campaign to bring diversity to NASA. Nichols formed the company Women […]
If there’s one trope I like, it’s the trope that dropped like a gift from heaven into my viewing arena in the penultimate episode of SYFY’s delightful comedy/drama, Resident Alien, which was recently renewed for a second season. That’s the kind of “hell, yes” news we like to hear about. Episode 109 took us on […]
Did that octopus in the aquarium seem to have a familiar voice? Perhaps captained a Firefly class ship somewhere in the ‘verse in a time down the road? Mmm, I got the strangest feeling I’d heard that voice before in something of an authority role. It was just one of a myriad of interesting bobs […]
Two episodes into Debris on NBC and I can sense there’s this understated tension running through the episodes. I don’t find this show dialog heavy, but heavy on uncertainty and a sense of confusion. It’s fun. Agents Finola Jones and Bryan Beneventi continue to step into an alien mess with each episode and I have […]
Turns out, Episode 106 of Resident Alien (titled Sexy Beast), wasn’t filled with the finest moments for our alien-turned-doctor Harry Vanderspiegle. His work towards understanding humanity while plotting its demise took several odd roads as the episode moved forward – and I’m hard-pressed to think of one of those roads that was a positive one. […]
There’s something falling from the skies, something very alien, very coveted and something that government organizations and private enterprises want to get their hands on. “Debris” brings together some of the best parts of shows like X-Files and Project Blue Book into a fun sci-fi creation. “Debris” delivers plenty of drama and questions as pieces […]
Have we reached a turning point in episode 105 (“Love Language”) of Resident Alien? On the verge of divorce, have Harry and his wife made amends (she thinks so)? In the midst of their battle for supremacy of Patience, Colorado, youngsters Max and Sahar negotiate a peace with the alien and then indulge in some […]
Well, I didn’t see that coming, did you? The final moments of episode 104 of “Resident Alien” were right out of the “that’s a twist” playbook. I suppose, upon further reflection, we knew so little about Harry Vanderspiegle that the thought he was married really didn’t pass into our consciousness much. And that little nugget […]
