Resident Alien

Post by T'Pau »

Alan Tudyk (Firefly, Serenity) headlines this new tv show on the SyFy network.
As a marooned space alien on earth, he is pressed into passing for human, and out of coincidence has assumed the personality of a vacationing doctor. While staying out of the way, his 'services' are brought to bear when the local small Colorado town doctor has died...or was he murdered? Hijinx ensue.
The cgi is quite good, while the acting is...yet to be proven one way or the other.
One episode in, and it is worth watching another. Hope it holds up, as it has great potential.

I've been kind of put off by Asta's meanness towards Harry, even if it is understandable. But other than that, I dig the character development going on with the secondary characters this season.

My parents want me to watch it.

I am towards the end of watching Buffy the Balpire Slayer. I saw it originally when aired but honestly I really forgot alot about that series. Also a huge 90's callback for me.
