It's too bad that Resident Alien was cancelled, but in a way, I'm glad it never exploded in popularity. It kept it's uniqueness the whole way through, and Harry learning what it means to be human couldn't have happened in the way that it did if a bigger network whitewashed all the Ute characters. Something changed in me while I watched it, too, and I'm excited to learn what that is. I don't know how accurately they portrayed modern Ute culture, but I appreciated how different all of the Ute characters were from each other. And as far as I can tell, the "noble savage" or "mystical Ind*an" stereotypes were nowhere to be found.
