Noah is soooo right, in the episode 5 podcast interview

''commercial breaks ruin the magic of good tv shows''




and apparently

Spoiler:

the first scenes in episode 1 on board the maginot were filmed early days, compared to the scenes for episode 5 on the maginot, the almost short film length, and apparently actor Babou Ceesay who plays Morrow, didn't know his character's backstory at filming episode 1 but got to know it, some time later upon filming episode 5 scenes

and also

Spoiler:

even though you know most of the maginot crew end up dying, apart from Morrow, i agree with Noah, you still have the same feeling about wanting them to survive, and some scenes were filmed with the so called Aliencam, from the Xenomorph's point of view, to add to that same horror as the first film had

and it seems

Spoiler:

the addition of the extra alien lifeforms such as T.Ocellus (Eyeball Midge) and the Ticks, and The Fly is done on purpose to expand the canon, so also doing Fede Alvarez a favor, for possible new upcoming film concepts

and

Spoiler:

No, Sigourney Weaver isn't the voice of Muthur of the Maginot, it does sound like her though, that also was done on purpose by a voice actress, with a bit of help from AI
