It only took all season, but I finally learned the technical term for “Species 64”, otherwise known as the “creepy tentacled eyeball octopus”, which is...

In many ways, we’ve all been waiting for the Lost Boys to turn on Boy Kavalier and Prodigy and facilitate some kind of escape, possibly aided by Kirsh for bonus catharsis points.

Earlier in this season, I said half-jokingly that the Xenomorphs were the good guys in Alien: Earth, but frankly, I’m starting to believe it more and more.

I've never been more thankful for a flashback episode. Usually, such things are the lowest common denominator of flat-pack TV storytelling, but after whatever was going on in the previous episode, I’m just thankful for a reprieve from Boy Kavalier.

I’ve been a bit sceptical of Alien: Earth hinging so much of its drama on the idea of kids in adult bodies, but Episode 4, “Observation”, makes me think it might have been in service of one thing in particular.

“Metamorphosis” is defined as a transformational change, often from an immature form to an adult one, so despite conjuring images of butterflies bursting from chrysalises, as far as Alien: Earth is concerned, it applies less to the Xenomorphs and more to the Lost Boys.

I get that it’d be a stretch to say the Xenomorphs are the good guys in Alien: Earth, but it’s a possibility we should probably consider. The upside of relocating this franchise to terra firma is that it provides a much broader sample buffet of extraterrestrial entrées.

It’s amazing that there hasn’t been an Alien TV show until now. It seems so obvious.

Oh, boy – people are going to hate this. And rightly so, frankly. It always seemed likely that Grotesquerie would have a somewhat ambiguous ending,...

I can’t help but feel a little bit disappointed by the ending of The Old Man Season 2. It’s very popular, so I can’t say I was...

There were lots of big – nay, huge – questions coming out of the Big Twist™, chief among them how Grotesquerie was going to proceed...

There’s a lot of dialogue in The Old Man Season 2, Episode 7. In fact, “XIV” is comprised almost entirely of three conversations – Dan...

I’m still not sure where I stand on Grotesquerie Episode 7, so here’s what I do know. A lot of people are going to hate...

It was only right that English Teacher, a truly excellent sitcom, had a really good ending, and Episode 8, “Birthday”, caps off Season 1 in fine...

When you go on the run, you only take the essentials, and that’s the feeling that hangs over The Old Man as we enter the...

Since the premiere of Grotesquerie, I’ve complained pretty reliably about the inclusion of the inclusion of the Nurse Redd storyline, which has always felt like...

From bad to worse; out of the frying pan into the fire. Pick whichever idiom you like, but that’s the vibe of Grotesquerie Episode 5....

Just like the field trip earlier in the season, the aptly-titled “Convention” gets the teachers out of the classroom. But even though Evan thinks that...
