Alien Earth Episode 1 & 2 - Really good start to this series. It feels like a movie in the best way possible, there really doesn't feel like there are any real concessions being made for it being a TV show. They are introducing some new creepy creatures along with the classic Xenomorph which I like, adds some extra danger since at this point we all know what a Xenomorph can do, so now there's new threats of varying sorts, though mostly smaller scale at the moment.
I thought the first episode was
great, especially the performance from Sydney Chandler along with that creation of "The Lost Boys" sequence. Second episode felt like a little bit of a step down and leaned on a few bad horror tropes, but I still had a good time and am really looking forward to the rest of the season.
Second season of
Twisted Metal was a ton of fun. It toes the line of clever and annoying extremely closely, but it somehow managed to find just the right tone and balance.
I liked the fun overall fun vibe of the third season of
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, but it definitely created some tonal whiplash with the more serious episodes, as well as hamstrung the finale, which could have definitely used more set-up for the swing it took. Probably the weakest season so far (and has what is for sure my least favorite episode), but I still enjoyed it quite a lot.
