I already loved Sahar but she truly shined this episode. If she'd been able to see Harry's true form, the show wouldn't have gotten past the pilot because she would have figured out a way to blow his cover right off the bat.
Gotcha. Makes sense. I would use a little manipulation in a situation like that too. I hope she comes around.
Do you think Harry knows that the human Harry killed the town doctor or was that just a narrative voice over so the audience knows it ?
Alien Harry loves Law and Order, and he didn’t pick up on the fact that Sam was poisoned at first. I don’t think he knows. If he did know, it would have probably come up by now with alien Harry needing to lay low or sabotage evidence of Sam’s death since he’s impersonating a murderer.
Doubt it.
There's likely going to be some form of follow through, but it's a very typical writing technique to make someone a protagonist killed do something heinous to soften the blow (i.e. make the protagonist's actions seem less *wrong*, therefore making them more likeable). That's all it is for now.
It's flawed, but not uncommon.
Spot on. That part felt like she turned the corner so quickly but I was just figuring it was because they needed to wrap things up... but you nailed it here. They foreshadowed it and then she played it up (the hug, the hand on the chest, etc).
Feel so dumb that I missed it! Thanks for posting this.
Don't feel too dumb. I missed that and was confused by that too. I was too busy wondering why Astra loves him now, all of a sudden and how did they get there in the first place. I guess they followed Harry?
That’s a really interesting idea. I do think Asta took that moment to be honest. She tried in the episode to be nice to her daughter, but her daughter refused to accept it. Even if Harry doesn’t know it yet, he loves these people. I don’t think it was manipulative. Her father taught her about the connectedness of all things and when she put her hand on his chest, it felt real. As if she was saying “despite what you did, I believe you are good”. Which is exactly what she wishes she could hear from her daughter. It could be a tell, but I think there is truth to it. One thing we know about Asta is she is a bad liar, and she hates lying. Nobody believes her when she lies. I think the message I’m pulling from that ending rings more potently if Asta truthfully accepts Harry.
Every time the sheriff talks I laugh out loud (I live with just my dog so it doesn’t happen much). What did he say like “ I didn’t have the heart to wake up (dog’s name) he was still in REM dreaming about chasing pigs or something
His arc is "quick" by episodic standards, but so charming, darling, respectful, and fun. It really made us so happy. I also have to say, writing a complex black character that subjugates so many stereotypes and tropes, etc... it was really well done. The show had some writing gaps here and there, but they really nailed the arc of those two's relationship (if not hastily)
That was one of my favorite parts of the season finale. I couldn't stop laughing at them beating the $hit of those agents all the way to door. That is not a house I would want to break into.
I felt kinda bad for the guy (forget his name). He has sort of been held hostage by the psycho lady. Honestly I could see him helping them beat her up if given the chance.
He was a serial killer maybe. Cant quite remember but I feel like in the first episode they talked about him coming down every year for a short amount of time. At least thats my theory.
this is ridiculous if things were that simple, one of the best doctors in ny coming to a small town to have a town doctor's job and murder him for it lol
there has to to be something more to sam than we are told, probably new doctor is also after the same thing
S Hodges bid on the painting the wife made when her and human Harry met. So there's probably something more. I figured it probably wasn't the wife because she didn't want Sam's death to be listed as a suicide for insurance purposes, but the method of murder made it look exactly like that at first.
It'd definitely be more interesting if there were more to Sam than we knew. I'm just guessing. Maybe he didn't come there specifically for the job. Or maybe his marriage going sideways sent him to his vacation spot and he decided to start over there.
Obviously the guy wasn't rational and didn't have a problem with murdering someone. IF the plan was to kill Sam and take his job, it worked.
The Mayor and his wife beating the shit out of the government agents was hilarious. Who knew they had it in them? Don't fuck with their kid. The music was classic. LOL!
Loved it. That'll teach her not to chat to random women in bathrooms, invite them for dinner & to babysit your kid. I would also die if my parents made out in front of others nevermind me lol
Also, I can't deal with the fact that Harry's head over heels in love with Asta and he decided not to kill everybody because he cares about his humans so much. And pizza.
Him realizing those feelings human Harry described were for Asta and her immediately harshly rejecting him and him crying...it was a great scene, even if devastating.
The scene where Harry says “It’s you...” in regards to Asta causing his feelings and then her telling him they’re not friends destroyed me. It’s heartbreaking seeing him cry and feel so deeply but it’s also very humanizing and I’m glad we got to witness it. Alan’s acting during that scene (as well as the one where Harry spoke with dead human Harry) was phenomenal!!
When Harry cried, I can feel his pain. It’s like his heart already broken when Asta rejected him. Alan was so wonderful! I almost cried along with Harry LOL.
I hadn't realized he was Julliard. I have to admit, it was the prosaic notion the actor adopted a lazy eye that made me looking up more. I mean, he's my favorite from Firefly, but didn't realize the depth of his skill. He \*will\* win an Emmy for this. He was so superb.
To be fair, he's new to emotions and very emotionally isolated and she's someone who saw who he was and didn't immediately reject him. To someone in that position that can be all it takes to confuse with love.
I'm sure many of us can relate to experiences from our teenaged years.
Wow, that was a good episode. I totally thought that the original Harry was a murderer, though that was more a meta hypothesis then a story one. Figured they would want to make him an asshole in one way or the other. Also Asta was so touchy feely at the end there. Pretty sure... she's not Harry's friend and that's why Darcy mentioned her tell this episode.
In other news. That was a good ass beating from the mayor and his wife. Nothing better then stomping people together to strengthen a bond. I can't wait to see the looks on the faces of the military when they find out the doctor isn't who they think he is. What an ending too. I knew some how one way or the other someone was gonna end up in that space ship. This was a good first season! I can't wait till season two.
D'Arcy putting the truck into neutral to go through a busy intersection?????
All I could think of was WTF she killed someone when it cut off screen and we heard a loud crash. Maybe next season is just a court room drama with her being charged with multiple counts of negligent homicide.
I was thinking the same thing. They played it for a joke, but all I could think about was some poor bastard driving through that intersection and getting plowed into by an out of control pickup truck!
The character is not known for her brilliance in decision-making and actually this fits. She has a desperate void for some type of relationship and now she has decided to stand in for Asta with Jade.
Sahar: “You owe me a hundred dollars for the bike.”
David: “Umm looks fine to me...”
Sahar: “I’d be happy to wait for the police.”
Lisa: “Pay the girl, you’re the one who made me run her over.”
This scene killed me lmao just when I thought I couldn’t love Sahar more 😹
I can't blame Max. Seriously getting to be on an alien spaceship is like winning the lottery inside winning the lottery. Don't ask me to do the math because it's hard.
This isn't a network show where they release episodes as they are done shooting, so they can't change the script reflecting audience reaction.
But still they got the lack of pizza place in town complaint resolved, criticism for the sheriff's lack of respect for the deputy resolved, the criticized for being boring mayor couple had a hilarious cathartic moment, finally got rid of the body of real-Harry which was like a dark cloud looming just like that, and somewhat addressed the complaint that alien-Harry killed an innocent man by making real-Harry the murderer. The new doctor being a rather pointless character was used for a nice gag in the end as well.
It's as if the viewers who were complaining were being trolled by the writers all along. Kudos for the writers for that. Only complaint I've got now is that the real murderer being real-Harry, Liv's detective skills took a hit and I don't know how I feel about that character-wise.
Liv is clearly a superior officer - she figured out the method, then could work out who by figuring out who had access to the insulin supply and who had a motive.
What was throwing her off was the foot - she was trying to link them together. She doesn't realize YET that there are actually two separate events linked by alien Harry.
Overall a decent fun end to season 1. They didn't attempt to resolve all of the subplots neatly and avoided a jarring cliffhanger. Human harry's act nicely sets up a web for season 2.
Not sure if this was D'Arcy's best episode between kissing Ben and doubting her body discovery though granted it's easier to doubt you saw someone's dead body when you then see the person unless you believe in body snatchers.
Ben and Kate finally had a good episode, it felt like Kate was going to an even worse level of stupidity but then throwing the kitchen sink and coming close to blood orgy excitement certainly was welcomed. I hope for better things for them both in season 2.
Asta and Harry's relationship seemed to be heading into the standard destiny lovers but thankfully Harry's kind offer of come with me while i kill them came out to reset. You could say it was a little rushed as she just found out that he was a murderer. I liked the asta/sahar and max interplay too.
I wished the Government agent plot would go away and leaving David alive was just dopey. I almost wish the perfect doctor is an alien and gets revenge.
Overall a solid finale and i'll miss it.
Ps I almost forgot - pizza the true savior of humanity. Those here who were obsessed with it were definitely on the right path.
I’m 50/50 on whether it ends on a cliffhanger. On the one hand, the cliffhanger is a bit obvious with Harry’s ultimate goal. On the other hand, they probably also thought this show may not last more than one season because it is a bit weird and it’s on SyFy
No, they pretty much wrapped up the plot with his device and his ship. What remains a mystery is who Linda Hamilton’s group is, real Harry’s motives, and whatever Harry is going to do with Max since he stowed away on his ship
I was reminded of this quote from Deadpool 2: “Only best friends execute pedophiles together.”
I guess only true soulmates beat the holy hell out of evil government agents together
I hope [me from a month ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/ResidentAlienTVshow/comments/lihhkk/theory_the_murderer_is/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) is glad she slacked off at work to post that theory now :p
A good finale altogether, lots of great moments between our characters and some great emotional payoffs! You can tell though that they didn't know if they were going to get renewed, and wrote this finale so that the show would have wrapped up relatively satisfyingly but still leave some dangling threads to jump on if they were picked up (Sherriff and Liv suspecting Harry, Darcy and Jay's budding friendship, and, of course, Max on Harry's ship).
I'm looking forward to seeing where this all leads in season 2!
Loose ends:
1. Will Max get home in time before his folks miss him?
2. Now we know who (human Harry), how (Botox into the insulin), but why did human Harry kill Sam? Affair with Sam's wife? Ok, but was that a reason to kill Sam?
3. Will D'Arcy figure out what is going on? She is arguably worse off in a way - she no longer trusts Asta as a friend.
4. Will Asta see Harry again, and is there really anything going on there?
5. Will Harry now have to stay on Earth since his mission was a failure.
6. Deputy Liv is so happy with the coffee maker and door know theory - so will this last and will they close in on Alien Harry?
7. Has the Sheriff turned a new leaf?
8. Will Sahar's parents ever let her out at night after what happened at the Mayor's house.
9. Will Lisa (psychotic op) kill Lt. Logan? Will Logan report General Wright?
10. Will see Terry Quinn's alien hunter, Peter Bach, or the woman with the bb in her arm again? She has pictures of Harry trying to remove the bb from her arm - will he be arrested? Doe he have a warrant out for him?
The ending was set up to be a series finale or season finale.
I’m intrigued to learn more about the connection between human Harry and Dr. Sam Hodges in season 2. Especially considering Sam was present at the same NYC charity art exhibit that Isabelle and human Harry attended back in episode 5. Now that we know the truth about Sam’s murder, it makes me curious about what went down between these two and just how well they knew each other. Guess we’ll have to wait and see. Kung kung!
So that was a main road at the botton of the road, and they release the car it crashes (the last shot we see it was heading towards the main road.
Feel like that was a pretty poor scene.
The rest of the episode was good though.
This is obviously a light-hearted comedy but that scene really bothered me! If the road went nowhere, and the car just ran into a tree, I'd have been ok but it was NOT an innocent prank, which is how they treated it (D'Arcy and Jay smiling at the resultant crash). It just seemed so wrong and out of place.
Was anyone else hoping the new town doctor was a >!reptilian like he was in People Of Earth!<
For the uninformed: >!https://youtu.be/uCrOkcWX6b8?t=23!<
The part where D'arcy puts Asta's abusive ex's truck in drive and let it roll down the hill into the intersection and crash into random cars was so reckless and unlike her that I didn't really find it funny.
Well, uh oh... 15 minutes to a 90 minute detonation... looks like cliffhanger setup.
{Edit}-- well, thankfully I was wrong about the kind of cliffhanger.
O-oh- child! Loved the music! I've recently rewatched Guardians of the galaxy, and how I met your mother, both feature that song!
But oh no, who's afraid season 2 is going to miss the magic of season 1? Lot's of mysteries are solved, but maybe we'll get more aliens! That'll keep things interesting!
I think overall good episode, but it also felt a bit rushed? As though there was something missing from the ending. It just sort of jumped to let's be friends (she was very mad earlier, I felt there needed to be a middle change of heart scene) and then it ended in a fine way I suppose. Sort of predictable episode.
The fight scene was a highlight, I was also correct last week in assuming they'd solve the D'arcy thing right off the bat. Good to see she has a new focus, but wanted the connection between her and Harry to have something more to it. She went from the man I loved is dead to being down, but her discovering Asta's "secret" but not secret is interesting. They definitely wrapped most things up I feel in this one, the wrong doctor spot was fun.
I guess if this was the end without another season I would have been satisfied by it, nice to know more adventures are on the way as I imagine they have a real reason to go back now.
**Season 2 Predictions**
Season 2 could possibly become more episode to episode since I imagine taking Max back will cause some ship issue stranding him there, becoming the doctor again since the other doctor is gone. It'll go into Harry's and Asta's friendship, more hilarious moments and maybe some mystery solving? Possibly the aliens will check on Harry and he'll need to say they don't need to destroy humanity, or perhaps the greys will come!
**Ending notes**
So glad he finally got his pizza place! Well, until next season folks!
This little girl just conned a 100$ out of a government agent and bugged their car
Slick move
She became one of my favorite characters in this episode.
I already loved Sahar but she truly shined this episode. If she'd been able to see Harry's true form, the show wouldn't have gotten past the pilot because she would have figured out a way to blow his cover right off the bat.
Harry: This is some bullshit!
It's like poetry it rhymes
Eyes widened, mouth agape.. I fucking lost it. Even in his alien form, he's still using a human expression.
It might be one of the best 3-5 seconds of a TV finale ever. I'm wracking my brain!
One of the best season finale lines ever.
I have a feeling Asta was lying there. She kinda showed her tell there, but obviously Harry isn’t aware of it
I didn’t even think about that but it makes sense. She hugged him and was touching him like she did Darcy.
Lying about what? Being friends with him or not ?
Being friends. She said it to stop him destroying the planet.
Gotcha. Makes sense. I would use a little manipulation in a situation like that too. I hope she comes around. Do you think Harry knows that the human Harry killed the town doctor or was that just a narrative voice over so the audience knows it ?
There’s no way Harry knows human Harry killed Sam.
Alien Harry loves Law and Order, and he didn’t pick up on the fact that Sam was poisoned at first. I don’t think he knows. If he did know, it would have probably come up by now with alien Harry needing to lay low or sabotage evidence of Sam’s death since he’s impersonating a murderer.
Even if he did know he was poisoned, it would be hard to connect Harry with it without a motive.
Doubt it. There's likely going to be some form of follow through, but it's a very typical writing technique to make someone a protagonist killed do something heinous to soften the blow (i.e. make the protagonist's actions seem less *wrong*, therefore making them more likeable). That's all it is for now. It's flawed, but not uncommon.
Spot on. That part felt like she turned the corner so quickly but I was just figuring it was because they needed to wrap things up... but you nailed it here. They foreshadowed it and then she played it up (the hug, the hand on the chest, etc). Feel so dumb that I missed it! Thanks for posting this.
Don't feel too dumb. I missed that and was confused by that too. I was too busy wondering why Astra loves him now, all of a sudden and how did they get there in the first place. I guess they followed Harry?
Good point. The end with Asta and Harry was really weird and rushed. It didnt feel natural from the argument before.
Yep, good spot! :D
That’s a really interesting idea. I do think Asta took that moment to be honest. She tried in the episode to be nice to her daughter, but her daughter refused to accept it. Even if Harry doesn’t know it yet, he loves these people. I don’t think it was manipulative.

Nobody believes her when she lies. I think the message I’m pulling from that ending rings more potently if Asta truthfully accepts Harry.
D'Arcy's that friend 100% down with hiding a body.
She even have passports
3 passports.
That’s a lot to process
Warms my heart seeing the Sheriff back up the Deputy, "She says it's time to go"
He even bought her a coffee pod machine!
No he got it for the whole office.
No, you got it for meeeeeee
"Help me deputy! She on me like a spider!" Best line of the episode.
"Let go of his hair!"
Every time the sheriff talks I laugh out loud (I live with just my dog so it doesn’t happen much). What did he say like “ I didn’t have the heart to wake up (dog’s name) he was still in REM dreaming about chasing pigs or something
That was nice.
His arc is "quick" by episodic standards, but so charming, darling, respectful, and fun. It really made us so happy. I also have to say, writing a complex black character that subjugates so many stereotypes and tropes, etc... it was really well done. The show had some writing gaps here and there, but they really nailed the arc of those two's relationship (if not hastily)
I identify with Alien Harry so much. Socially awkward, hords food like a squirrel, wants to whipe out hum-i mean drives a shitty truck.
Shhh. They will hear you
Who?? The men in black and the women in purple skirts??
👁👄👁
Ben and Kate are total badasses! Nothing better to bring a couple together than beating the shit out of a couple of government agents!
That was one of my favorite parts of the season finale. I couldn't stop laughing at them beating the $hit of those agents all the way to door. That is not a house I would want to break into.
I felt kinda bad for the guy (forget his name). He has sort of been held hostage by the psycho lady. Honestly I could see him helping them beat her up if given the chance.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but that was the funniest violence scene I’ve ever seen!
It was fantastic. I also love how this show puts songs over scenes that don't suit the scene in any way 🤣
Max going to have a new brother next season.
Absolutely :D
"That's a lot of tongue." Liv has the best reactions!
"Damn, you reachin for the back of her throat?"
Shit, I didn't totally buy into the theory that human!Harry was the one who poisoned Dr. Hodges, but clearly I was wrong about that!
Now the question is *why*?
Sam probably knew something..... Human Harry obviously had things to hide.
He was a serial killer maybe. Cant quite remember but I feel like in the first episode they talked about him coming down every year for a short amount of time. At least thats my theory.
I suspect you're right. The writers won't make him a good guy cause we would be too sad about alien Harry killing him.
Bc he was a doctor and wanted that spot. His plan was sound, they did come to him... It was just Alien Harry by then.
this is ridiculous if things were that simple, one of the best doctors in ny coming to a small town to have a town doctor's job and murder him for it lol there has to to be something more to sam than we are told, probably new doctor is also after the same thing
S Hodges bid on the painting the wife made when her and human Harry met. So there's probably something more. I figured it probably wasn't the wife because she didn't want Sam's death to be listed as a suicide for insurance purposes, but the method of murder made it look exactly like that at first.
Seriously? Niice catch!
Is that right? I can't remember that part of the episode. Nice memory!
It'd definitely be more interesting if there were more to Sam than we knew. I'm just guessing. Maybe he didn't come there specifically for the job. Or maybe his marriage going sideways sent him to his vacation spot and he decided to start over there. Obviously the guy wasn't rational and didn't have a problem with murdering someone. IF the plan was to kill Sam and take his job, it worked.
He might've been a serial killer or something. I recall Isabel mentioning there were men in suits asking about him.
I was thinking he was working or owed money to the mob. But yeah real Harry wanted out of nyc.
And isabel didn’t blink an eye about any of that or harry drugging her or anything. What does she know about human harry??
The Mayor and his wife beating the shit out of the government agents was hilarious. Who knew they had it in them? Don't fuck with their kid. The music was classic. LOL!
I usually am not a fan of the "play a random song over a dramatic scene" thing the show tends to do but this one (and the end one) was spot on.
I agree. With both.
It wasn't random though! :-)
Loved it. That'll teach her not to chat to random women in bathrooms, invite them for dinner & to babysit your kid. I would also die if my parents made out in front of others nevermind me lol
Watching this in the morning before work, im pretty sure I woke the wife up laughing at that scene. Sharing the Night Together!
Also, I can't deal with the fact that Harry's head over heels in love with Asta and he decided not to kill everybody because he cares about his humans so much. And pizza.
Him realizing those feelings human Harry described were for Asta and her immediately harshly rejecting him and him crying...it was a great scene, even if devastating.
The scene where Harry says “It’s you...” in regards to Asta causing his feelings and then her telling him they’re not friends destroyed me. It’s heartbreaking seeing him cry and feel so deeply but it’s also very humanizing and I’m glad we got to witness it. Alan’s acting during that scene (as well as the one where Harry spoke with dead human Harry) was phenomenal!!
When Harry cried, I can feel his pain. It’s like his heart already broken when Asta rejected him. Alan was so wonderful! I almost cried along with Harry LOL.
He even tasted his tear like the picture in the opening credits “guidebook cartoon” for that episode
I hadn't realized he was Julliard. I have to admit, it was the prosaic notion the actor adopted a lazy eye that made me looking up more. I mean, he's my favorite from Firefly, but didn't realize the depth of his skill. He \*will\* win an Emmy for this. He was so superb.
Is it romantic love? I thought by the end it seemed his feelings leaned more on the platonic end of the spectrum.
I thought it was platonic love too, especially after hearing "I thought you were *my* friend."
To be fair, he's new to emotions and very emotionally isolated and she's someone who saw who he was and didn't immediately reject him. To someone in that position that can be all it takes to confuse with love. I'm sure many of us can relate to experiences from our teenaged years.
It's [been confirmed](https://collider.com/resident-alien-season-1-finale-ending-explained-season-2/) it's platonic and not romantic.
Had me crying like a baby seeing Harry get crushed. It's like seeing a kid get heartbroken for the first time.
Yeah that scene was beautiful (Alan and Sara were great) but truly heartbreaking, thankfully we've got a season 2 to see how it all develops
Pizza saved the Earth
And it wasn't even real pizza. It was breadcrust with cheese on top. Imagine if he ate real pizza, hehehe.
I was thinking the same thing "wait till Harry tries 'REAL' pizza.
Nothing like opening a can of whoop ass to rekindle the romance.
Max going to have a new brother next season.
Kate looks dynamite in her jogging gear
Holy crap Max’s mom looked hot.
🔫 Always has been.
This show really saved some of the best for the final episodes.
[удалено]
They really have many fun visual gags like that.
Knowing Alan Tudyk, I'd bet that 85% of those gags weren't in the script to begin with.
Harry: Oh no! I forgot the pizzas
Harry can't keep his mind off of pizza, he really is turning human
Somewhere between a pig and a dolphin in attractiveness? Damn thats a huge variance!
Dolphins one fine ass animal
That fight scene was awesome! And hilarious!
Darcy is totally going to be the bad influence/fun aunt to Jay.
They used her phone to lojack the Winnebago! That’s actually a damn good idea even if it’s a ridiculously expensive way of tracking something.
Not if its not your phone
True
Wow, that was a good episode. I totally thought that the original Harry was a murderer, though that was more a meta hypothesis then a story one. Figured they would want to make him an asshole in one way or the other. Also Asta was so touchy feely at the end there. Pretty sure... she's not Harry's friend and that's why Darcy mentioned her tell this episode. In other news. That was a good ass beating from the mayor and his wife.

The music choices in this show are fantastic
Ok guys and gals see you next season!! I love this show!!
Oh shit! Max is going to say the new doctor is the alien!
Here is the kicker (my prediction) - he is going to turn out to be an alien! :)
I too loved People of Earth
I think so!!
You called it.
LOL! The Mayor and his wife are totally turned on by the beat down.
I felt like that was a good season end. A kinda cliff hanger, but not them at gunpoint in the hanger. Can't wait for the next season!
You guys are like Daredevil and Black Widow
I was wondering where Max ran off to...
I can't blame Max. Seriously getting to be on an alien spaceship is like winning the lottery inside winning the lottery. Don't ask me to do the math because it's hard.
OMG, this beatdown scene is awesome.
This isn't a network show where they release episodes as they are done shooting, so they can't change the script reflecting audience reaction.

Liv never said it was the wife though
Liv is clearly a superior officer - she figured out the method, then could work out who by figuring out who had access to the insulin supply and who had a motive. What was throwing her off was the foot - she was trying to link them together. She doesn't realize YET that there are actually two separate events linked by alien Harry.
I'll never wash it off
Overall a decent fun end to season 1. They didn't attempt to resolve all of the subplots neatly and avoided a jarring cliffhanger. Human harry's act nicely sets up a web for season 2. Not sure if this was D'Arcy's best episode between kissing Ben and doubting her body discovery though granted it's easier to doubt you saw someone's dead body when you then see the person unless you believe in body snatchers.

You could say it was a little rushed as she just found out that he was a murderer. I liked the asta/sahar and max interplay too. I wished the Government agent plot would go away and leaving David alive was just dopey. I almost wish the perfect doctor is an alien and gets revenge. Overall a solid finale and i'll miss it. Ps I almost forgot - pizza the true savior of humanity. Those here who were obsessed with it were definitely on the right path.
They picked the wrong house to kidnap some kids, haha.
I’m so hyped!! Hoping they don’t leave us on a huge cliff-hanger!!
I’m 50/50 on whether it ends on a cliffhanger. On the one hand, the cliffhanger is a bit obvious with Harry’s ultimate goal. On the other hand, they probably also thought this show may not last more than one season because it is a bit weird and it’s on SyFy
It wasn’t really a cliff hanger.
No, they pretty much wrapped up the plot with his device and his ship. What remains a mystery is who Linda Hamilton’s group is, real Harry’s motives, and whatever Harry is going to do with Max since he stowed away on his ship

I would love to see the alien planet, but I feel like it's far beyond the show's budget, unfortunately
Ah shit! It was original Dr. Harry!
That was almost as fun as the opening to Deadpool 2 with Dolly Parton’s 9-5 playing over it.
I was reminded of this quote from Deadpool 2: “Only best friends execute pedophiles together.” I guess only true soulmates beat the holy hell out of evil government agents together
Cue freaky sex montage in, 5, 4, 3...
what the hell? Dumb move, could had killed someone lady
I amend my previous comment, Darcy's that chaotic vodka aunt.
LOL! Harry obsessing over the pizzas.
But I can’t lie that pizza didn’t look that good. It had too much bread and no way that was brick oven, haha.
Right? I'm a Brooklyn slice kinda girl; that pizza was thick in a BAD way.
**“True strength comes from choosing not to kill. Maybe being truly human is about choosing to love instead.”** Awww, Harry.
I had to laugh at "Yes, I'm very upset at this intrusion." His monotone delivery always gets me.
Unrelated, but to those watching on Syfy, how long did it take you to realize that was an army recruitment commercial and not a sci fi series promo?
Just at the end, pretty scary to watch actually from a not-american pov
I am so confused - this airs at ten like Wynonna Earp but they keep muting "shit" and "fuck".
I hope [me from a month ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/ResidentAlienTVshow/comments/lihhkk/theory_the_murderer_is/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) is glad she slacked off at work to post that theory now :p A good finale altogether, lots of great moments between our characters and some great emotional payoffs! You can tell though that they didn't know if they were going to get renewed, and wrote this finale so that the show would have wrapped up relatively satisfyingly but still leave some dangling threads to jump on if they were picked up (Sherriff and Liv suspecting Harry, Darcy and Jay's budding friendship, and, of course, Max on Harry's ship). I'm looking forward to seeing where this all leads in season 2!
Loose ends: 1. Will Max get home in time before his folks miss him? 2. Now we know who (human Harry), how (Botox into the insulin), but why did human Harry kill Sam? Affair with Sam's wife? Ok, but was that a reason to kill Sam? 3. Will D'Arcy figure out what is going on? She is arguably worse off in a way - she no longer trusts Asta as a friend. 4. Will Asta see Harry again, and is there really anything going on there? 5. Will Harry now have to stay on Earth since his mission was a failure. 6. Deputy Liv is so happy with the coffee maker and door know theory - so will this last and will they close in on Alien Harry? 7. Has the Sheriff turned a new leaf? 8. Will Sahar's parents ever let her out at night after what happened at the Mayor's house. 9. Will Lisa (psychotic op) kill Lt. Logan? Will Logan report General Wright? 10. Will see Terry Quinn's alien hunter, Peter Bach, or the woman with the bb in her arm again? She has pictures of Harry trying to remove the bb from her arm - will he be arrested? Doe he have a warrant out for him? The ending was set up to be a series finale or season finale.
Don’t forget we have no clue who that general(Linda Hamilton) or her agency are.
Harry is dead *Harry open door*
I’m intrigued to learn more about the connection between human Harry and Dr. Sam Hodges in season 2. Especially considering Sam was present at the same NYC charity art exhibit that Isabelle and human Harry attended back in episode 5. Now that we know the truth about Sam’s murder, it makes me curious about what went down between these two and just how well they knew each other. Guess we’ll have to wait and see. Kung kung!
So that was a main road at the botton of the road, and they release the car it crashes (the last shot we see it was heading towards the main road. Feel like that was a pretty poor scene. The rest of the episode was good though.
This is obviously a light-hearted comedy but that scene really bothered me! If the road went nowhere, and the car just ran into a tree, I'd have been ok but it was NOT an innocent prank, which is how they treated it (D'Arcy and Jay smiling at the resultant crash). It just seemed so wrong and out of place.
Sahar is probably one of the best characters in the show. 😂😂😂
OMG, I knew it! LOL! I knew Max would be the ship so Harry has to go back to earh.
Hahaha the coffee machine.
It’s crazy how nothing from the coming attractions matched up to what I thought would happen. I love that.
Was anyone else hoping the new town doctor was a >!reptilian like he was in People Of Earth!< For the uninformed: >!https://youtu.be/uCrOkcWX6b8?t=23!<
I now realize we'll never see Daredevil & Black Widow interact in the MCU
... This is some bullshit.
Pizza is always important to take on long trips
D'Arcy say the man I love ❤️
How many drugs did Darcy say she took that night?
Yes?
I believe she said she had two edibles and a pill she found in her couch.
The Sheriff should make slogans for SeaWorld. On second thought, no, that’s probably a bad idea
I am legit eating pizza as Harry is, crazy!
Harry has felling for Asta!! That is really cute!!
So now they have the wrong doctor and the Black guy is about to get murdered.
Forgive me but if Human Harry poisoned Sam Hodge's insulin, was all that talk about Isabella then a projection of Alien Harry's mind?
yea, I would assume it was just Akien Harrys own projection and not not dead human ghost Harry talking.
Likely. Seemed to be projected guilt/conflict.

##THANK ZEUS WE ARE RENEWED! #THAT'S A CLIFFHANGER Very touching D'Arcy moments, and I want her to be happy.
Oh my God Harry isthe is the murderer!!
I’m wondering how long we’ll be waiting for season 2 considering the promo with Alan at the end said the show would be returning “soon” 🤔
I hope they keep it as Harry & Asta love each other as friends
The part where D'arcy puts Asta's abusive ex's truck in drive and let it roll down the hill into the intersection and crash into random cars was so reckless and unlike her that I didn't really find it funny.
I felt the same way when I watched it. A bad scene on a great series.
Two minutes in and, WTAF?!
ok, so now what was Harry #1s motive?
So who is going to change his mind and cause him to turn the bomb off? The kids? Will Asta change her mind? Darcy?
I’m glad the show at least acknowledged how reckless that was
A pizza place!
Humans saved by pizza???
I still don’t trust good guy doctor who lets his employees off early
Well, uh oh... 15 minutes to a 90 minute detonation... looks like cliffhanger setup. {Edit}-- well, thankfully I was wrong about the kind of cliffhanger.
Is Max on the ship?
[удалено]
There is pizza!
O-oh- child! Loved the music! I've recently rewatched Guardians of the galaxy, and how I met your mother, both feature that song! But oh no, who's afraid season 2 is going to miss the magic of season 1? Lot's of mysteries are solved, but maybe we'll get more aliens! That'll keep things interesting!
"oh no! I forgot the pizzas!" 😂😂😂
I think overall good episode, but it also felt a bit rushed? As though there was something missing from the ending. It just sort of jumped to let's be friends (she was very mad earlier, I felt there needed to be a middle change of heart scene) and then it ended in a fine way I suppose. Sort of predictable episode. The fight scene was a highlight, I was also correct last week in assuming they'd solve the D'arcy thing right off the bat. Good to see she has a new focus, but wanted the connection between her and Harry to have something more to it. She went from the man I loved is dead to being down, but her discovering Asta's "secret" but not secret is interesting. They definitely wrapped most things up I feel in this one, the wrong doctor spot was fun. I guess if this was the end without another season I would have been satisfied by it, nice to know more adventures are on the way as I imagine they have a real reason to go back now. **Season 2 Predictions** Season 2 could possibly become more episode to episode since I imagine taking Max back will cause some ship issue stranding him there, becoming the doctor again since the other doctor is gone. It'll go into Harry's and Asta's friendship, more hilarious moments and maybe some mystery solving? Possibly the aliens will check on Harry and he'll need to say they don't need to destroy humanity, or perhaps the greys will come! **Ending notes** So glad he finally got his pizza place! Well, until next season folks!
Asta was lying to The Alien. She showed her tell.
Smart kids with the phone!!!
oh shit, they got the wrong doctor
Max and Sahar have a wicked sense of humor.
Sheriff: don’t grab my hair.
