Season 1 Episode 3: Squeeze

"Do you know how much liver and onions go for on Reticulum?"

Ah yes, the first non alien related episode. We finally get to see where else the series has to go and I think they nail it. I mean they could of gone any number of direction with paranormal like bigfoot, ghosts, or even the jersey devil... oh wait. Anyway, it's a very creative idea and executed pretty well I think, not to mention Eugene Tooms even returns in a later season. 

I found this, it made me laugh

Eugene Tooms is actually an incredibly creepy person, watching him take the lie detector test I thought to myself "I don't think I would trust that guy with my garbage." I mean it probably has something to do with the fact he can contort and fit in tiny vents, or maybe its the creepy face in the slow-mo blurred attack on the guy in the house, who knows why my mind thinks the things that it does. 

Hi, I'm creepy

This is why this show worked so well I think. Not only their ability to keep the alien mythos and running story throughout the entire series but the ability to branch out to other stories and have them work just as well. The writers on this show were/are amazing. 

Random Tidbit:
A recent jersey devil sighting!!! 
On a side note I should of saved some of this jersey devil stuff for the actual episode...
