re: Alien: Earth Discussion (FX/Hulu) *spoilers* Renewed for S2

Morrow is the lone competent member on the ship and I will credit them for having turned him from what looked to be a villain into a likable character? Don’t know yet, but holy hell here’s an alternative idea… Send a small crew of competent and professional, loyal crew members to do the job properly. Instead of a bumbling crowd of morons, who are “expendable“ and will likely cause the absolute worst case scenario.

As an Alien fanboy I’m enjoying the shite out of this show. Sure, I can nitpick, but it’s very well done and entertaining.

Seek out whatever it is you think makes this show “good”.

I can compliment some actors who are doing a really good job. The sets are spot on. Aesthetics are great. But the story & a bulk of the writing for most characters is embarrassingly bad.

This isn’t Rings of Power, Acolyte terrible. But it’s so needlessly poorly written that it deserves my “effort” to trash where I feel it’s necessary.

Discuss it & maybe my mind will be changed.

I think the show has been really fun. What it lacks in pure storytelling it's making up for with crazy alien action. Solid 7/10 for me which is just about what I expected.

Someone brought up the US space marines from Aliens.

If the big 5 corporations own & run the planet, effectively, how is there still a U.S. marine corps?

* A:E predates Aliens so did the U.S. Space Marines get a reboot?

This show is more entertaining than 99% of tv right now. Episode 5 was great. You have to be a real autist not to enjoy this.

This episode actually felt like an alien movie, really enjoyed it. Easily my favorite so far.

I'm so interested in the eyeball monster. I was watching a video on it during lunch. Pretty interesting how intelligent it is how it acts and reacts. Then how it just attacked the xeno. I'm hoping they explore it further but only three more episodes

The first episode was convoluted and boring to me… just my two cents.
If it doesn’t improve I understand the negative reviews I’ve seen.

If you were running a company with that precious and rare a cargo, would you risk manning it with mouth breathers? Or would you make it worth their while, and sweeting the pot to ensure their families are at least well taken care of, financially. No, it doesn't replace the time lost but it could be the difference in getting your ship home or not.
