Resident Alien - The Complete First Season

The First Season of Resident Alien introduces us to Alan Tudyk, who also narrates every episode, playing a stranded alien who has taken the identity of Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle living isolated outside the small town of Patience, Colorado. After being dragged in to town to help solve the death of the town’s doctor (Jan Bos), and later become roped in to taking his place by Mayor Ben Hawthorne (Levi Fiehler), Harry’s time is spent awkwardly attempting to fit in while also frantically searching for both a device from his spaceship (lost in the crash) and the body of the real Harry before any humans stumble upon either of them.

The Irrational - Bombshell

My biggest complaint with “Bombshell” is how obvious the resolution of the episode is in not furthering the series-long story in any meaningful way. After escaping prison, Wes Banning (Ben Cotton) builds a bomb vest and shows up at the university to hold Alec (Jesse L. Martin), Phoebe (Molly Kunz), and Owen (Arash DeMaxi) hostage. During the episode, Alec earns the man’s trust and discovers the motivations behind the bomb that sent Banning to prison. Agreeing to help save Banning’s daughter (Siana Bajwa), Alec saves himself and his assistants, but because Banning dies at the end of the episode he never lives up to his end of the bargain and dies without revealing any new information about the man responsible thus keeping the status quo of the series intact.

Although he’s able to shake it off and return to normal, Superman is left with a city gone mad. We get a cameo from Batman and a couple other heroes doing what they can to help, but Action Comics #1062 is centered squarely around a Superman story where he tires himself out in small victories saving the citizens from themselves over and over again, but in terms of reversing what has been done he continues to fail to set things right.

Adventures of Superman - The Haunted Lighthouse

Superman Sunday takes us back to the 1950s and a strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. In the show’s second episode, Jim Olson (Jack Larson), noticeably never called Jimmy, visits some family on Moose Island only to become increasingly concerned with their behavior and odd occurrences on the otherwise empty island including an abandoned lighthouse which appears to be back in operation. The first-half of the episode is built entirely around Jim, who finally contacts Clark Kent (George Reeves) at The Daily Planet for assistance bringing both Clark and Superman to the island to investigate the odd occurrences.
