So: Alien, Predator, and I'm going to throw The Thing and even a Tremors 2 in there for good measure. And you know what? I'm all for it.
It would be like that Stargate Atlantis episode which is similar where Sheppard kept mentioning it, spooking McKay.He's not going to be able to bring himself to watch that anymore after this.
I'm more annoyed about how La'an was written out, but at least I'm sure we'll see her again in S2.
He was the Bill Paxton for this story.Sam Kirk is a jerk
It ends with her mind being wiped by Nomad, making everything she does here pointless.![]()

I don't thank La'an knew that Hemmer was infected. I think she surmised based on his state and what he was saying and preparing to do. A logical leap, so to speak.Bruce Horak better have been begging and pleading to leave because, as a disabled person myself with hearing loss, I'm not going to even get into how bad it looks killing off the one disabled cast member on the show.
The horror factors were overdone I think. Why didn't La'an mention immediately that Hemmer was infected? The one thing anyone remembers in TOS was that Gorn there moved slow, but they're super fast now. I can buy that but now baby Gorn reproduce as soon as they hatch? Really? (I guess those Gorn weddings in Lower Decks are more ceremonial than for any reproductive purpose) I guess they're lizard tribbles. M'Benga has no transporter stasis stalling tactics anymore? Do they even know how fast the eggs will hatch? They mentioned earlier in the episode that hatching time depends on the host and I'm pretty sure no one knew how fast an Andorian would take.
lolI hope that this episode is not *too* scary or grotesquely graphic in any way.![]()
I thought that too.Did anyone else think when the girl was revealed, “well there’s Newt.”
Also, I don’t think La’an is a Noonien Singh. She’s a Ripley.
