    Trying too hard

    The search for the missing foot corpse continues at the lake much to the annoyance of Harry who later accepts a dinner invitation to the mayor's house. Asta looks into the missing prescription pad while Max and his new friend Sahar plan to spy on Harry. Later, Asta, Dan and Harry make a road trip out to a reservation where a secret is revealed.

    While having breakfast at the bar, Harry gets a visit from the mayor inviting him to dinner, where he also runs to Asta and the rather unlikable D'Arcy who latches onto Harry as her dinner companion. At dinner D'Arcy continues to make a fool out of herself while Max and Sahar make a move in order to learn more about Harry.

    The next day, Harry gets commandeered to visit a reservation with Dan and Asta in order to give an elderly patient care. Harry, who is really struggling with human behavior this episode, makes an attempt at humor, but ends up blurting out business that is not his to reveal. This revelation in turn has an impact on Asta, her friends and her family as well. Later, Harry engages in playing with some of the other tribal members, but in reality is horribly homesick.

    Back at Harry's cabin, Max and Sahar gain entry through a bit of forgery, and later get themselves into trouble by snooping around. Finally, a new character shows up much to the complete shock of Harry as he returns home and finds his house in disarray.

    Overall, this series is pretty decent, but attempts at humor feel awkward and forced much of the time. RA also suffers from some of the same things that make other shows bad, such as overly wise children, and.generalized misandry. In terms of the children, what type of parent allow their young daughter to go out at night with snow on the ground? RA started out cute and touching but is bordering on the annoying here. 7/10.

    Lots of melodrama, very little plot (or sense)

    One thing that continually annoys me is that the writers obviously do not know anything about the world they themselves created. The alien appears as human because he changed his appearance to look like a human (molecular restructuring, as he says). He is not really a human, he is not inside a human body. So why should he have human reactions and emotions? Why would he suddenly need to sleep and start to dream, when in an earlier episode he says that his species does not sleep? That is like saying that a human who had plastic surgery to look like a shark could suddenly breathe under water. If you start to think about this show, it falls apart. But it simply doesn't have enough jokes to take it just as a brainless comedy, and it obviously takes itself more seriously than that, but unfortunately it can't rise to its own standards.

    This episode continues the trend from the previous one - lots and lots of filler, tiny morsels of plot advancement, even less sense. Most of it is just unimportant filler, and at the end there is an event that furthers the plot, but again, it is not enough to salvage the episode.

    Birds of a Feather

    I bet the writers thought they were being so original with that Cheers opening.

    Only for Wandavision beating them to it with the sitcom homages.

    Harry's lack of awareness means he blurts out about just who is Asta's daughter. Much to Asta's shock and embarrassment.

    However Harry fails to realise that the kids are on to him and they have copied the key to his house. It is not the only surprise he gets when he goes home at night.

    I do wonder that maybe Harry should had done more than watch Law & Order to learn about life on earth. He comes across as a one club golfer.

    I am enjoying this show more than I expected

    Good episode, some story and character development, some very funny parts and cannot wait for the next week after the cliffhanger.

    Full woke.

    The show is funny and I like it. But this episode had so many wtf moments. One or two could be ignored as edgy humor, but it was so many I have to assume they let some woke activist co write. "I've never met a white man I couldn't trust" followed by the daughter eye rolling. Get it? It was sarcasm. Hahahaha. And that's just one example.

    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Harry (Alan Tudyk) gazes at his home world's sun "still forty-six light-years away", a bright star below the Big Dipper where no bright star is known - a bit of visual license by the creators (or perhaps Harry's sun is especially prominent to alien eyes). Though its position in the sky is slightly off, Harry might be talking about 47 Ursae Majoris (Chalawan), a yellow dwarf star forty-six light-years away and known by astronomers to have at least three planets.
    • Goofs
      A spider weaves an orb web as Harry ( Alan Tudyk ) looks through it into the sky - during a cold winter night in Colorado, when every spider in the wild is either dead or hibernating.

      The pilot episode begins with the line "It is spring"; and this is a short period of time later. The ice on the lake has thawed allowing boats to dredge, people are wearing lighter coats and not having to cover their faces and hands, the snow is receding, people can play basketball and lie in the dead grass of a field at night without their breath being visible. And wildlife is waking from its hibernation.

      Harry Vanderspeigle: [voiceover] Hmmm, this is interesting. I've never experienced this before. Nobody is talking. Apparently you can be with other humans and still be alone. I like it.
