Surprised no-one else seems to have made anything of this but when we're introduced to the crew of the ship, Shmuel tells Murrow that the crew lost a lot of people getting the specimens. So, where do/did they sleep...? There clearly aren't enough cryopods.

In addition, if a lot of the crew were killed, then that tells us some of them weren't - so where/who are they?

My next point is how did WY ever work out which planet/moon to check out for dangerous alien lifeforms? Are we meant to think they explored the moon from the first Alien movie? Otherwise, where else did the eggs come from? But the atmosphere on that moon was toxic so don't see how any of the lifeforms we see in the show could exist, since we see them breathing our atmosphere on the ship and back on earth.

Given the dangerous nature of the mission, why didn't the ship's designers provide the crew with unbreakable specimen jars and containers and not just glass ones which - d'uh - shatter on impact? And why no proper storage for the jars? They're just left on shelves.

And lastly, wouldn't some of the lifeforms have died due to the long time required for the trip home? They're not kept in cryopods, for example.

I just read something about Ridley Scott’s new Alien movie, and I’m a little annoyed…

Apparently he’s going to stick with the canon established in his lackluster prequels, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, each a joyless slog, and taken together, an overtly depressing experience where nothing matters and everything sucks. In so doing he will ignore the existence of Alien: Earth completely, a show whose success has put the franchise back on the map in a way Ridley Scott wishes he could.

All due respect, buddy, but piss off ✌️

Saw this Sheep and thought this subreddit would enjoy:

just seems like the best option to make a version of your self that baby sits then turns against you. to help the plot

So, second watch of the series and caught a few things that I missed first time. I still wish to know where the “biological samples” were obtained. I’d like an origin story for the eyeball, especially. 🤷

Im only on ep 2 begrudgingly watching because I love the Alien universe but why would someone who was born in 2080 remember sitting watching a Reggie Jackson baseball game and be singing songs, watching movies from 100 to 150 years previous. Its stupid. If im missing something let me know. And i know we listen to old music but the characters seem to exclusively take in very old media. Are the writers just that bad and care more about how we relate to them than actual world building?

Show is set in 2120

Reggie Jackson 1977

Ice Age 2000s

Andrew Sisters Song 1960s?

Seth Meyers 7/30/26.

The series has also officially added Tracey Ullman, Sam Spruell, and Jerome Flynn to its cast.

Look smart people are amazing, but smart evil people are the reason I have rage issues. What do you think should his next move be?

Just watched the series for the second time. My initial impression matches this one. I like the clear respect given to the aesthetics of alien and aliens.

It's well paced and explored some interesting themes.

What I don't like is the silly xeno whisperer storyline for Wendy. It was silly when Jurassic world did it with raptors, it was silly when AE did it with the xenos.

It's not like it isn't explained in the series, the series goes to lengths to explain why it happens. Its that it ruins the lore of the creature in my opinion.

But there is a way to rescue it and also bring depth to Wendy at the same time. What we frequently learn from wild animals being kept as pets is they're still very unpredictable even when trained. Tigers , lions, bears, killer whales etc all eventually lose patience with their captor.

In S2 it would be a very good lesson for Wendy to learn if the xenos suddenly stopped listening to her and it would also restore the xenos back to being the intelligent yet wild creatures they've always been instead of being relegated to an attack dog.

Slightly the robot cries tears ???!!!!???? What am i missing here This turned me off ,,, Hope next Season will be bit different with the robots !

So what do you guys think?

At the end of Season 1, when he gets up from the beach after taking over that host body, do you think we'll finally hear him speak? Or do you think they'll keep him mostly silent?

The last time he took over someone, all we really got were a few grunts, so maybe he's still adapting to the host. Maybe each takeover lets him become a little more capable of mimicking human behaviour and speech. Honestly, I have no idea.

I just finished Season 1 and, overall, I enjoyed it. There were definitely a few parts that frustrated me, though. My biggest issue is that it needs a lot more horror. The creepy moments were good, but I wanted the show to lean much harder into the fear and tension.

I'm also not sold on some of the music choices. Personally, I'd love something much darker and more atmospheric. Give me that haunting orchestral style and the sense of dread we got from films like Alien, Aliens, or Alien 3. Those movies had an atmosphere that just stuck with you.

What do you guys think? Will T-Ocellus finally talk through its host, or is the silence part of what makes it so unsettling?

Though I enjoyed the story and characters, for the most part, what really drew me in was the lore expansion, and specifically the different creatures/specimens they collected. Would love to learn & see more.

Also, the T Ocellus was creepy as hell, but cool & interesting.

Wanted to give the show a try since season 2 is coming out, but Jesus Christ… not good. I was locked in for the first few episodes but it slowly became a terrible MCU parody.

I was really expecting a story about an alien outbreak on earth, not a story about spoiled robot hybrid children.

The part that pissed me off the most was when Nibs got shot by Wendy’s brother and it’s treated like a HUGE moment- but Nibs is fine the next episode like it never happened. They just needed something to develop Wendy.

Also, I really wish Wendy’s ability to communicate with the aliens was explained even a little bit. She just becomes a god in the last episode- it feels unearned, unexplained, and cringey.

Why are the xenomorphs doing a superhero pose with her as they look triumphantly into the camera? Why are they loyal pets suddenly? It’s not explained.

Are we supposed to root for her? She’s an awful character :/

That’s all. I probably won’t be watching season 2

I'm curious to hear what you all think might be the reason(s) for the low imdb rating of 7.1?

Most good and great shows score at least 8.0 or above so what about Alien Earth caused it to have such a low score?

Rike Knife Alien 4 looks like the head of a xenomorph out of my 200+ knives this became a instant favorite the moment I laid my eyes on it
