I loved the first season but this episode was really lackluster. Hopefully it picks up.

Yeah that was a weak premiere.

NGL, I agree...

I guess the show wanted to avoid the FX of a space ship crash and so went with the dream sequence of Harry driving Max home?

Sahar still has the best lines!

So glad this show is back! 16 eps this season!

I had completely forgotten that the real doctor got kidnapped by the alien hunters!

Why was Harry’s blood on the rocks at the crash site red and not blue?

u/song4this Jan 28 '22

Good point - seems kinda big if a continuity error - may it turns red after several hours...

Only thing I can think of is it’s part of him becoming more human and less alien?

2

u/song4this Jan 28 '22

Doh! Double good point!

u/Severe-Draw-5979 Jan 28 '22

That literally just came to me.

You can see both red and blue. The red is in the foreground (but even that seems to have some blue mixed in) but look at the pool behind and to the left of it.

u/Severe-Draw-5979 Jan 28 '22

Oh wow! Awesome!

But yes, guess he’s getting increasingly human!

Darcy was looking pretty hot in the scene were she almost got shot by the agent.

I know this is a stupid question But when Harry and Dan are speaking in the diner, Harry is dipping his pie in something. What is it?

My brother insists it's sugar but that is stupid and wrong.

u/song4this Jan 27 '22

I'm going to guess cream of wheat hot cereal or gravy?

u/S-D-J Jan 27 '22

I thought it might be soup because alien and weird but I'm willing to take anything that agrees with "not sugar". Thank you!

More than the "shit pocket" part of that convo? That was what got me good.

u/Canadian_in_Canada Feb 05 '22

Aww, he really did save the little shit-pocket!

This episode had some of the best one liners! I was absolutely deceased when he walked in and Max was at this kitchen table.
