I just watched the last episode of Season 3 of Resident Alien
and found myself wondering if that was a season finale or a
series finale? They certainly resolved *some* plot lines but
other things were left dangling.

I'm trying to find Robin's post where she laid out this
week's TV viewing and came up empty, thanks to the many
weaknesses in Claws Mail. She normally says if something is a
series or season finale.

Futon Critic says it hasn't yet been renewed for a fourth
season, which makes it sound like a fourth season is at least
possible. Does anyone know if a fourth season is desired by
the producers or has everyone already gone their separate
ways?

I'm pretty sure it was season finale, but I could be mistaken.
Oh wait, let me check her FB post...

Nope didn't find it easily. Maybe anim knows when she posted
it.

Well, I'm here. I listed it as a season finale because The
Futon Critic doesn't have any info on season 4, yay or nay.

Here's a story from Syfy from yesterday:

At one point it says "Max (Judah Prehn) and Sahar (Gracelyn
Awad Rinke) have uncovered the ruse as he can see the true
forms of aliens, which means trouble for the town and the two
kids in Season 4," suggesting there will be a season 4.

But at another point the article says "As part of our exclusive
postmortem with Resident Alien showrunner Chris Sheridan, SYFY
WIRE asked if this means audiences should look forward to yet
another character for Alan Tudyk to embody if the show gets
another pickup? And the answer is, 'Yes!'," meaning that season
4 hasn't been ordered yet.

So I think not yet, but strongly possible is the answer.

Thanks, Robin.   

 
YW, suzeeq.
 

Much appreciated, Robin! Now I have at least *some* reason for
optimism :-) 

 
I thought the show as pretty amusing but it's kinda run it's course I
think. that finale really tried to pack a lot into a single episode.
They jumped around so quick and tried to get some time for everybody.
 It was lucky anyone could follow it.

I can't deny any of that. It's not at all clear where it will - or
should - go if it is renewed and that last episode WAS rushed/packed.
It felt like they were doubtful about getting renewed and, with a
shorter season this time compared to season 2, they might have decided
it was time to finish most of the plot lines. But since they still
hoped for a renewal, they left Harry's fate up in the air so that they
could still write a continuation if the renewal happened.

If it had been renewed I am pretty sure the showrunner would
have mentioned it at the the Resident Alien panel at Wondercon
on Saturday. He did talk about some of his plans for season 4
which I think will make for a good next season.
