Resident Alien: Homesick

Finding an object the size of a suitcase in the Colorado Mountains is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I've been searching for my device every day for months. I haven't found it yet, but after searching a half dozen mountains, I finally found the haystack, and that's all that matters. Well, that and being on time for my first day of work.

We get much more of Max – the young actor does really well – and more of the other characters, usually as patients in Patience, in this episode. Harry starts experiencing human emotions.

Dracula (1979)

Count Dracula: "You fools! Do you think with your crosses and your wafers you can destroy me? Me! You do not know how many men have come against me. I am the king of my kind! You have accomplished nothing, Van Helsing. Time is on my side. In a century, when you are dust, I shall wake and call Lucy, my queen, from her grave. I have in my time had many brides, Mr. Harker. But I shall set Lucy above them all.”

Taking a detour from my planned trip through the Universal classics, I recently rewatched this one and felt it would be a good time to review this often overlooked but enjoyable take on Dracula.

Resident Alien: Pilot

But here I am. My first real test. To say my species is more advanced than humans would be a massive understatement. If the universe had a scale for intelligence, humans would land right below lizards.

An alien with an unpronounceable name – who later becomes Harry – takes up residence among humans in Patience, Colorado.

This Week: I'm Clearly Michael Sheen Stalking

Mikey Heinrich: Has anybody else watched Staged with David Tennant and Michael Sheen? It really is very, very funny.

The Penguin: A Great or Little Thing

"Oswald Cobb, man of the people."

That's really all he ever wanted to be. Or at least, that's how he always wanted to present himself. A man of the people, just like his childhood idol.

Alien: Covenant

Alien: Covenant represents a pretty sharp correction following Prometheus (a movie that I strongly disliked the first time I saw it, but have softened towards over the last decade.) When Covenant works, it expertly marries the tones of the prequel and the original movie and becomes something fascinating.

When it doesn’t, it starts quoting Milton.

This review contains spoilers and in-depth discussions of the movie’s themes.

Batman The Animated Series: Mad as a Hatter

"You're mighty in Gotham, Batman, but in Wonderland, the Mad Hatter reigns supreme."

You can always tell when it's a Paul Dini episode. Mostly because the writing credits are right at the start of the episode, but if you miss them chances are you'll still be able to tell when you're watching a Paul Dini episode.

The Penguin: Top Hat

"Have fun gettin' out!"

There's a reason why urban explorers are warned to check the weather before exploring underground. Things can become very dangerous very, very quickly.

Batman The Animated Series: Appointment in Crime Alley

"Gentlemen, Gotham City is at a crossroads. As businessmen, the choices we face is clear. It's time we decide where we stand. Are we for progress or against it? For the future or for the past. For the weak or for the strong? In short, we cannot allow the underclass to hinder us from building a better tomorrow."

This tells a very familiar story about an evil developer (in this case Roland Daggett) who is trying to drive people out of their homes so they can bulldoze them and build something new and fancy in their place (in this case a mini mall).

Billions: YumTime

"We are not uncertain."

So, here's the real question - How much of this is actually about the Scrumpets?

Agatha All Along: Season One

This is a collaborative review of the first season of Agatha All Along. Samantha M. Quinn and An Honest Fangirl talk about their thoughts and opinions. While they keep the bigger reveals mostly spoiler free, there are references to events in the show that could be considered spoilery.

This discussion also contains spoilers for WandaVision and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

From Dusk till Dawn: Let's Get Ramblin'

"Eyes find eyes."

I really love the lighting in this scene. It's very pretty, especially with the pool in the background.
