Spoilers Alien Earth (2025 Hulu show)

[NCC-73515]

It will probably lead to the special order directing the Nostromo to LV-426 to bring back another specimen. This is how they knew.

Very weird ending. I don’t know what to make of that. I don’t see how a Xenomorph would have any connection to a synthetic

For me that's currently one of the mysteries of the show that i find immensely intriguing and i hope they resolve it somewhat.

It feels like a cop-out that we didn't actually see the fight with the alien.

This isn't Aliens, where a platoon of Marines take on a Xenomorph nest but i'm pretty sure some action will come sooner or later. There's several unhatched eggs in play on top of all the other aliens and if there is one rule in the Alien franchise is that sooner or later something gets fucked up and Xenomorphs are on the loose.

Right now i am pleasantly suprised that the Alien franchise can still grab me, this show is amazing right now with all those new concepts and expansion of the universe. There are enough balls in the air and plot hooks to keep me guessing where it will al lead and the characters are fascinating to watch from the creepy prodigy trillionaire wunderkind corporate leader to the children in highly advanced synthetical bodies up to the messed up security chief cyborg who's on a mission of his own.

I'm on the second episode. Why hasn't Weyland-Yutani learned how to safely transport alien specimens after all these films? They always put them in extremely fragile glass things that break at the slightest stress. Put a facehugger inside a metal cylinder. Then put that cylinder inside another cylinder. Then put chains around the cylinder. And then tow that cylinder behind a spaceship with a kilometer-long cable.

What I want to know is, why haven't any Weyland-Yutani mercs shown up? Too far behind enemy lines, so to speak? Were they hitchhiking?

Because this show, within the timeline of the franchise, is the first contact with the Xenomorphs. They know nothing about them, it's completely uncharted territory which is why they don't know how dangerous these actually are.

I just wanna see Seegson at some point and maybe Sevastopol being mentioned... when was that one built?

Maybe from the company's point of view.

Maybe from the company's point of view.

Which explains the lack of extreme beyond reason security, i.e. they have normal extreme security which will likely not be enough to contain all the alien gribblys.

The showrunner already explained they are largely ignoring Prometheus and Covenant, which is a good thing.

 

[Set Harth]

I couldn't believe that scene where they had the eggs just sitting there out in the open not even in a glass case or anything.

I caught that too but realized they had no organics / real humans in the room, Raylanbot pushed the CEO outta the room.

 

[NCC-73515]

If the AvP wiki is correct, Sevastopol is 15 years old, Seegson will buy it in 4 years, and Isolation happens 17 years after Earth.

Remember this is its own thing. It’s not connected to any other Alien lore

What about the movie Alien?

Wrong. The only thing the showrunners stated is that they are mostly ignoring the prequels Prometheus and Covenant ( rightfully so), otherwise it's deeply connected to the Alien franchise but expands on its scope and lore.

Why is it rightly so to skip those?

I think that is the only exception

 

[FPAlpha]

Because they were dumb movies.

 

[Set Harth]

At one point I actually had it paused at this moment
