The Strange Planet animated series has been, so far for me, a disappointment, replacing what was fun and unique in the comics with what now feels like formulaic television. Whereas the webcomic beings discover different aspects of the human condition/experience and express them with logical, precise language, the beings of the animated series seem to already understand and feel quite comfortable with their humanness, albeit with distinct linguistic quirks. The series is certainly not without its positive attributes: it's colorful and uplifting. And the beings are downright adorable; they're just not the same beings that originally piqued my fascination, the ones with whom I felt a connection.
