I wasn’t even gonna watch it, but my youngest put it on.
And, to quote my youngest: “For some reason, this is happening.” …I can’t beat that reaction. I ain’t even gonna try.

If Disney is going to give us back stories, two words, Cobra Bubbles.
…”Oh yes, you had hair”…
:nodding: I’ll allow it.
The idea’s pretty entertaining in some ways… but I feel like it would be a let-down in practice. First, there’s something that’s just less fundamentally interesting about a CIA hardass that deals with aliens than a ex-CIA social worker hardass who dealt with aliens once and now has to do so again. Second, we already know how he pulled off the most important case of his career. It’s like his story gets more and more normal the further you roll it back.
Who says that was either the most important or the most interesting case of his career?
Who says he started out as A CIA Hard Ass?
A skinny CIA accountant with a passion for entomology, a satirical sense of humor and an outrageous Afro. Stumbles into a multi planetary crisis. Hulking body can be the offshoot of short circuiting the deadly device. Backstories can come from and go almost anywhere.
The intro is where he sells the aliens on mosquitos being an endangered species. Then we get to the funkalicious 70s aethetic and saving the world from itself. Yes, eventually he decides to leave the CIA and become a social worker, but we don’t know if that was in 1979 or in 1999. For all we know Lilo was literally his first case.
