Love the pacing they get straight to it. I like the subtle subliminal backstories taking place that many will miss on first watch. Example them walking by and dude painting the damaged wall Hint hint. Also when dude said "I'm not your brother" I knew he was the archetypal corporate shill gone off the kool-aid.

They asking a lot out of the audience on the "suspension of belief". My biggest issue so far with the first episode is that wetland knew the ship was crashing and didn't have a response team on the ground to contain and make first contact

(Edit: this is explained in the 2nd episode, but still dumb AF with weyland knowing what's on board with the planet killing species)

( My educated guess is the prodigy company committed corporate espionage to bring the ship down in their territory after one of their spies(asian guy) onboard the ship alerted them to what was on board. He caused the communication issues that gave prodigy the info to divert and cause the ship to crash)

My biggest issue with all of these stories has always been, everyone is so smart until you need them to be stupid to move the story along
The production quality is pretty high which is a plus, and they nailed down the suspense and horror aspect. The audience always knows the worst is coming, yet the characters don't

The hybrid addition to the story is pretty cool and should have been added to the "alien" universal story a long long time ago.

One last thing, the fact that this franchise can't move away from the dark haired yt woman protagonist is starting to get sorta stale

Alien (1/2/3)
Prometheus
Romulus
Covenant
Resurrection

After watching the first two episodes, I'm honestly not that impressed

It has some nice ideas, but it's just a bit too silly for me.

I may come back to watch once the season has completed just to see where it decided to go

Some interesting concepts at play here plus a real Yutani, let's continue to see where this goes. That Kavaller dude is definitely gonna get messed up and it'll be all his fault.

I fully agree with you about the dark hair Whitegirl thing they always do.
But
I was Very impressed by this show so far

I didn't expect EP.2 to get so Bloody
But
We gotta our ROBOT MATH one more gin.

Help me out too..

Human + Robot Parts = Cyborg

All metal Robot = Android

Robot wit Human skin = ??????
(Synthetic) I think ?

The Sick Kids that got Robot Bodies = ?
Robot Cops ?????
Ghost in the Shells ????

Syths with humans brains = hybrids

The sick kids are hybrid with the minds of 11 yr olds, sent into a disaster site with unknown threats ( sorta stupid, even if the boy genius is supposed to be evil/ambivalent)

Why didn't the marines/security force have cameras and tracking capabilities if this is in the future?


I went to reddit to see how others are responding to the first two episodes so far

And a lot of people have the same gripes as me

One that stood out:

Someone said
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"this does not feel like it was written with the intent of alien, it feels like it was written as something else and then had the alien lore inserted into it in order to bring it to production"
----------------------------------------------------------------------

A lot of it feels contrived, and the "lost boys" seem to pull people out of the suspense of the show.


I had had to guess, they take all the different alien breeds back to the island, they run amok, and then the island is destroyed by weyland in a nuclear accident trigger from within by the black cyborg who sneaks into contain the threats, and cover up all evidence of weyland involvement . Which brings us back to sq one with the first alien movie


What I don't like is how they have a cyborg on the ship that captures the alien, but you never see one ever again , not even when they send the marines to lv-246 in "aliens"

Like I said it feels like it was something different they decided to include xenos in at the last minute for marketing and audience support.

The only saving grace is that the xenos seems as deadly as it's ever been, it reminds me of the intensity of the xenos from covenant. But some of the kills it had done seems a lil too quick and fantastical ( one xeno kills 5 guys with rifles in seconds)

Havent checked Reddit. But agree in hindsight the writing is atrocious as it relates to real world disaster response decision making. Weyland not tracking the ship….. ehhh they were snd they tried to explain the company’s taking over fiefdoms thing. I think it still falls flat explanation wise but its clear Weyland just cant come to dudes territory.

Sending kid synths in without real life adult experiences is stupid. But its a show… also the ending was predictable.

So do they set a perimeter in the building?! I surmise that xeno is a sterile drone. And will be “hunted” for a couple episodes in that big plot location as such.

Ngl the kids annoy me. But im sure they catch up soon

What are the two timelines?? Seems like One
they are treating Weyland/Yutani like 2 separate companies before they merged

I think in the original aliens they were already merged
they merged in 2099

They were already together and sent the ships in Prometheus

Hawley said that he is taking some liberties

I think that he is cutting out prometheus time line and expanding on the 1st 2 movies

The show is likely going to focus on how weyland and d-Yutani merged and why the synths won in the battle for the new tech and not hybrids

so it kinda is two timelines because

only the combined company knew that the aliens existed in the original 2 movies

the show happens over 50 years before the original alien but 30 years after they merged but they havent merged yet on the show

the show isnt really about the alien its about the weyland d-yutani war and merger
for this show to work everyone that comes in contact with the alien has to die because only weyland-yutani know they exist leading into the original

I was expecting them to barely show the aliens, but they were throughout the whole show. The fact that we got aliens on earth, gives them more bodies to kill. I'm hooked for this show.

U gotta stop, some of them seen the whole season already

Please don't spoil the whole season.....

Also,
Even if they did stick the aliens in a script that had nothing to do with them.....

If it Works it Works !!!!

The writing for the last two alien movies has been so bad at this point...
Any Good writing is welcomed

I enjoyed it. Kinda can’t wait for what inevitably should be the mid point (or maybe penultimate episode before the finale) where they go into the full scope of what happened on the ship.
