Instead, I got a half-baked alien parody of our current news cycle, all the way down to the comments on the president and his government going against the status quo. Ok, I’ve made my jokes, I’ve given slight opinions, I’ve done the references, what’s my actual opinion overall? Well, I was first caught by the name, assuming it would do something of an alien comedy/drama about news anchors covering hellish topics as their world is destroyed. Yet, the only newsworthy planet in the entire universe is our one of shaved semi-formed dwarf monkeys clinging to a dying rock dropping in the empty vacuum of space? I want interviews with alien rapists, a robot uprising against planetary destruction, I want Spider-man god damn it! There may be a slight cut of a city underwater on an alien planet, or indeed, a reference to other species and systems. pronounced “Us-A,” N.Y.C like “Nike,” and Popeyes as “Pope Yes.” It is well made, well written, and executed greatly, but the issue stands of its desire to focus on humans.Ĭreating a whole show to point directly at us, when there is theoretically a whole universe or even multiverse, feels like a lack of scope. The brilliantly timed and perfectly written misunderstandings of pronunciations such as U.S.A. With only two actors, heavy dialog, and a relentless number of jokes, it is worth catching an episode just to see it.

If they are alien, why do they slip in and out of their own made-up words and then back to English? Where’s a field piece or two? Why isn’t there a weather report? For all the ads parodying our own products and advertisements, why don’t we get stories of aliens inserting them in themselves?
ALIEN NEWS DESK SYFY SERIES
Once you start thinking about the series for more than a nanosecond, which is all it gives before moving on to the next misunderstanding passing as a news piece, you see its cracks. As far as satire and general comedy go, it is funny the first few times, though sometimes it is just sad to watch someone beat a horse with itself. That said, I did refer to it as a dancing pony with a very strong penis, strong enough to dance with no less. Played as a satire it is strange, funny, charming, and possibly the best thing SYFY has done in a long time. It is about the aliens seeing us as alien and reporting back their misunderstandings. It is fully animated, using stock footage and live-action clips of reality shows, sports, and everything in between. The two are reporting back to the collection of planets in your standard news format, informing them of the planet’s inhabitants and what is happening there seemingly suggesting this is done with other planets and species, though is never really shown to any great degree. The premise of this show is that a coalition of alien lifeforms have sent two reporters on to the edge of earth’s orbit around the sun.

Some might say that I can’t give an opinion on something I haven’t fully watched, but when you are a one-trick pony dancing on the tip of your penis, I know what you’re going to do next time.

I have, however, watched a few episodes and skimmed through the rest.
ALIEN NEWS DESK SYFY FULL
I’ve not seen the full season, and I don’t intend to. This article is about a possibly controversial pick, as I’m going to talk about a show I’m not going to say many lovely things about.
ALIEN NEWS DESK SYFY MOVIE
Let’s say there’s a TV show you must see (pun intended), but one episode doesn’t do it justice, or a movie with one scene that’s only described by: fantabulous or dreck. Reviews would fit a single episode, but some shows or movies require a broader discussion. Welcome back to a series we’re calling “ Must See ,” a collection of editorials on TV shows, movies, or anything you watch that we’re suggesting you see.
