Spoilers Alien Earth (2025 Hulu show)

The elevator face-off between Kirsh and Morrow was more riveting

This was such a nonsensical scene. It was was forced because the writers wanted a Cyborg-Synth scene.

Morrow was 65 years away from Earth. He is back for less than a week. He spent most of that time in the crashed Maginot/high-rise and wandering through the city. How does he know anything about modern Earth? How does he know which Synth models are current and which are obsolete and what Synths want? Did he read up on that in one day?
Why is Yutani relying on him to retrieve the species, despite that he is a complete stranger to modern Earth and has no knowledge of modern technology, security, and tactics?

the multi-decade-long journey of the Maginot is ridiculous.

I have to agree here. I tried to push that detail into the back of my head but it is ridiculous and doesn't really serve the story. It actually hinders it because it opens up such fallacies in logic. The more I think about it the less sense it makes. Like, if the ship is decades old then why does the technology look the same as the Nostromo?

I mentioned something similar a few weeks back. Morrow definitely is not someone who seems out of his time and is accepted willy nilly by Weyland-Yutani to do dirty work despite being pretty much a complete stranger to them.
