Sadly, just 3 episodes in, the show already begins to drag, a sure sign that they do not have enough plot to fill the required number of episodes. So they do what every other show with similar problem does - they bury tiny morsels of plot in the huge pile of nothing, which they then try to falsely label as "character development", when in reality it is just filler. Two women standing by the fire waiting for the dead body, then reminiscing by the fire, then dancing by the fire, then going to the party, then reminiscing at the party, then dancing at the party... Is the description boring you? Then you shouldn't watch the episode by any means, because it is much worse.
There are still a few funny jokes, but less than in episode 2, which in turn had less jokes than episode 1.
The alien's stupidity is growing exponentially and you have to wonder how "a scientist" from a race that has mastered space travel can be so dumb. Perhaps they, too, have developed AI, offloaded all the thinking to it and became progressively dumber and dumber, while still having superior technology? This show, unfortunately, has zero logic, which is a shame. It would be so much better if there was a bit of intelligence to go with the jokes.
Speaking of logic, how did the alien's ship crash land in Colorado mountains, and he managed to end up in New Mexico desert? Just because they needed a "funny" scene of him wearing a cowboy hat? Lame.
The alien's interaction with the kid deserve a special mention for inducing cringe. It is like a particularly lame version of discount Home alone with aliens. And the kid went from terrified to Rambo in a blink of an eye for no apparent reason.
The supporting cast continues to be terrible. The sheriff is straining so much to be funny with pathetic results. The nurse and the horny bartender didn't get any better from episode 1, and they were awful in it. The nurse's convoluted backstory is a half baked attempt to get to viewers' emotions, yet the only emotion it manages to evoke is boredom. The nurse's father is wooden and confused, spurting his lines like a first generation of text to speech program.
The episode ends with one of the morsels of plot, which is again a typical move for shows that are mostly filler - end an episode with an important or plot moving event, in hope that it will stick out in the viewers' minds because it is the last thing they see in the episode and that it will make up for the time they wasted up to it. But it never does.
