Spoilers Alien Earth (2025 Hulu show)

I call him Squidward.!

That was... Boring. Yes it moved the plot along but I base my interest on if/how long i'm on my phone during the episode. Phone never left my hand. Ugh.
Nice to se Kursh have a plan, even found it hilarious after he cought slightly.. no.. go this way.. hurry up.
I don't think Nibs is dead, they hinted at a reformatting with Tootles but there was nothing left of him.
And I think the Older lady is a good eye replacement candidate.

Surprised there were headstones, thought they had actual funerals for the kids for the repsective parents. Why would there be some random graves ??

Was hoping that this being the next to last that it would be more upbeat and actiony.. nope.. owell.

Collect some alien species and bring them to Earth for stuy, what can go wrong?

Enact some corporate espionage and sabotage to steal those species, what can go wrong?

Put terminally ill children into superhuman level synthetic bodies to see if you can make humans practically immortal, what can go wrong?

Build a secure lab facility that is anything but secure, what can go wrong?

I love the Alien franchise so much, it's honest to god "just" a sci fi horror version of the 10 Little xyz ( looking for the english translation of it from german i came across some really racist versions of it, don't want to run the risk of being connected to racism again here ) childrens nursery rhyme as the Xenomorph ( who now has buddies to help out in this show) starts reducing numbers. It got a bit stale as the franchise went on but this show breathed back life into it while not completely changing the formula.

As with the Maginot episode and the contaminated waterbottle we know what will happen, it is tense watching it unfold and what happened to Arthur was the same. I knew what was about to happen but it it somehow never made it not horrible or not tense.

And kudos for the writers to come up with an alien that's maybe even more terrifying than the Xenomorph. who's just a good old slaughtering monster. Eyeball alien just upped the ante by showing actual human level intelligence and that idiot Cavalier will now give it a human body so they can communicate - my god.

All the while everything spirals out of control at an ever increasing pace, i wonder what the endgame is for this season but given what's happening i think eyeball alien will escape into the human population to start its own plans, Xenomorphs might overrun the island and everything goes to shit. I am just waiting to see how well they will tie in everything with the original Alien movie.

This show is just awesome.

I was thinking "what's so racist about it" but then I went to the wikipedia page and HOLY CRAP.

You might be setting yourself up for disappointment.

Oh yeah - not touching THAT with a ten foot pole here

Let's see, i think it may be divisive with whatever they come up with but i'm along for the ride. We'll know in 2 weeks.

More like a week!

That's the thing: it isn't keeping within continuity of the movies.

If they aren't then they should make that clear and the Xenomorph should not be limited to the island.

That's in theaters?

The theater near me shows a different classic film every 2 weeks.

Yes it moved the plot along but I base my interest on if/how long i'm on my phone during the episode. Phone never left my hand. Ugh.

That's a fairly accurate way to measure it. They should start judging ratings by phone usage during an episode.

wonder what the endgame is for this season but given what's happening i think eyeball alien

I imagine all the toys will be put back in the box . A message will be sent to the Nostromo to divert course and there will be a plot thread left dangling for season 2.
