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

Yea Morrow all of the sudden becomes stupid because the plot needs him to. Kirsh planned conversations he couldn’t possibly have predicted among other things. Lol the raft and of course Wendy and her pet Xeno, the absolute most idiotic thing that’s ever happened in this franchises history. Look writers and directors have ruined stuff and created stupid storylines but this show ruined the Xenomorphs which does the most damage to the property. It’s the Obi-Wan show of the Alien universe.

I really tried.
I sat through three episodes.

Every time I think they’ve finally hit rock bottom—when it seems impossible they could write anything dumber or worse—they find a way to prove me wrong.

At this point, just take the franchise out back and bury it next to Star Wars, Marvel, Indiana Jones, LOTR, Narnia, Witcher, and so many others.

Today’s writers keep showing they’re miles less talented than those who came before them. And the worst part? They’re a generation that’s been told they’re brilliant every single day—so they actually believe they can “improve” on the work of far superior talent.

I think the bald guy and Kirsch aren’t working with anyone else. I think they are planning to take over the company and get rid of boy cavalier or whatever his name is.

I know some like it but I don’t like Wendy talking to the Xenos. Very Jurassic World like with Blue. Think it would have been a way better story for her to “talk” to the xeno but later found out it didn’t matter and the xeno kills someone close and she realize her frick up. She realizes she isn’t special at all.

I also wish Ginger was actually translating the sounds Wendy heard (but wasn’t actually grasping the language) and was getting screwed up mentally explaining why she said she was pregnant. The xenos and face huggers were communicating their intention.

And no, not every intelligent species is going to know pi. Numbers can be different in other languages much less another species.

Agitates me two hybrids couldn’t just carry with one hand and run fast.

Spec ops throwing their mask away like they won’t need them again is retarded.

I’m going with the brother getting the eye. That guy sucks anyway. Wendy then has to take out the eye/brother with the help of a xeno. That episode didn’t really feel like Alien at all. but last weeks episode was incredible.

The greatness of the Xeno’s as antagonists were their simplicity and what they represented. They’re simply a force of inevitability, you can’t reason with them and you have to sacrifice just to survive them. Wendy completely erases what they were.

I believe that was done in Alien Covenant when David was communicating with the xeno's and the neomorphs.

I don’t know if Boy Wonder knew that Morrow had been captured at the time he said he knew who wanted to get the Eye/Krang. I’m thinking it’s the “mother” scientist.

Just roll up out of the water, all navy seal like, in broad daylight , toss their masks away because apparently they won’t be using those anymore… Really? How the hell were they supposed to get off the island?

Do you always expect hyperrealism in TV shows? I don’t.

This episode is the first time I had a problem with the writing. The whole escape plan and execution was really half-baked and it only led them back to where they were. But I’m not getting hung up whether soldiers keep their masks, location continuity errors, “where did that bamboo raft come from,” etc.

Who is getting killed by the plant alien hanging from the ceiling? We saw a glimpse of its tentacle when Isaac fed it last week right before his untimely demise.
