On May 7, 1990, the series finale of Alien Nation (1989 - 1990) based on the film (1988) of the same name aired. The final episode found human detective Matthew Sikes (Gary Graham) struggling with his feelings over his alien partner George Francisco (Eric Pierpoint) being promoted over him as well as his feelings for the alien Cathy Frankel (Terri Treas). On top of this, the detectives also were looking into possible biological terrorism being used against the alien newcomers. The series only ran for one season of 21 episodes.

I just watched Alien Nation and found it to be an interesting exploration of toxic masculinity.

Matt being raised by a toxic father is hard-wired to believe and live by toxic masculinity ideas. It often hurts/confuses/frustrates those around him, but more than anyone else, those ideas hurt him. He constantly self-sabotages purely to protect his idea of masculinity.

And then on the other end of the spectrum we have George, to whom these traits are literally alien. It's perfectly natural and comfortable to him to be vulnerable and gentle, both emotionally and physically. He's affectionate to his family and his friends, including Matt, who probably never or hardly ever received that, especially from a man.

So we watch Matt gradually and somewhat reluctantly learning that apparently you can be vulnerable and you can give your male best friend a soft hug and still be a badass kickass man, because he is this guy besides him doing just that. He doesn't make huge leaps and often falls back to his bad habits, because that's how hard working on trauma and conditioning is, but he does make progress over time.

I thought it was quite interesting perspective on that. I don't think I've seen a protagonist with that many toxic masculinity traits that is still sympathetic. I don't know if it was intentional, or was he considered and average and relatable guy back then, but that's how it looks like from the present point of view.

omg WHAT A GAME!! I am not a Niners or Packers fan but this game gave me freakin anxiety. The 49ers advance to the NFC conference championship round but it was most definitely not a pretty win. 49ers QB Brock Purdy had a shaky 1st half but came through when it counted most. Hats off to the Packers who were almost 10 point underdogs going in -- they almost pulled off the upset!

It's a Beautiful Day, "White Bird"

This hippie classic was co-written by band founders David and Linda LaFlamme and sung by David LaFlamme and Pattie Santos.

Linda LaFlamme has died, age 85. This album and its beautiful cover represented one of the last flowerings of the Bay Area peace'n'luv vibe, with "White Bird" released six months before the events at Altamont Speedway.

The iconic album cover, designed by George Hunter and painted by Kent Hollister, is based on the painting Woman on the Top of a Mountain by Charles Courtney Curran.
