episode 4

Spoiler:

alright, Prodigy Corporation blackmailing Wendy/Marcy and Joe to work with them or else they won't see each other again not very surprising tbh


the poor sheep with that eyeball alien thingy, also cool though the eyeball takes over whichever creature, organic it infects if it wants to, also a highly intelligent species indeed how it was looking at Kirsh following its movements


and Nook pregnant? how on earth can a synthetic be pregnant or think she is pregnant, makes me think they are more human than we initially thought, unlike Kirsh who is a full synthetic like Bishop (although Kirsh also shows signs of possibly developing emotions i think, how he doesn't like being ordered around all the time by Kavalier)


love how deep they are going in terms of the xenomorphs methods of communication with each other, also love how Wendy/Marcy can mimic those sounds to perfection, making that chestburster even allow her to touch it, that was a very cool ending scene of this episode

another awesome episode


10.0

episode 5


one word: AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

Spoiler:

it was like watching the first Alien film, in this one episode, flashback regarding how everything went down on the Maginot, before it crashed on earth


also Morrow ain't a villain but

Spoiler:

Boy Kavalier is, he intentionally wanted this ship to crash in one of his cities so the alien lifeforms are his property

the eyeball alien T.Ocullus, very interesting little being, also highly intelligent, i also like how we are learning more about the Xenomorphs as well, like being able to even burst from someone while in a cryotube


and those parasite things, ewwww also very clever how it dropped its embryos in someone's water, but letting itself being seen between one's sandwich as a distraction so they won't pay attention to that water, horrible way to die as those parasites cling to one's heart, and when you remove it, acid for blood

11.0 this is Scifi TV at its literal best

[Nicky91]

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

episode 6

Spoiler:

poor Isaac but damn that eyeball is sooooooo smart


also our first facehugger action of the series, poor Arthur one of the employees there with common sense

and i really hope Boy Kavalier will get his comeuppance, playing the victim, like the weyland-yutani ship crashed into his city, like we know better now after the last episode how he is responsible for that


what is Kirsh up to? he doesn't mention Isaac's death and Arthur grabbed by a facehugger, thanks to Aarush/Slightly to Kavalier, but just saying to Kavalier's ''is everything okay'' Affirmative

also i think Isaac's death might done something to Kirsh, considering Isaac was his lab partner, also whom chose his own new name


and it was pretty stupid of Isaac, not to go with someone else to the lab but by himself even Kirsh asked him to ask Curly to join him with feeding the creatures, advice which he ignored

anyway top episode again


10.0

episode 7

WHEWWWWWWWWWW! this series is the best thing since the start of this franchise

Spoiler:

Wendy being able to order the Xenomorph what to do, is soooooo cool

those xeno kills at those weyland yutani soldiers so epic also so deserving to see those soldiers shredded to pieces

the chestburster out of Arthur, similarly amazing visual effects as the iconic scene of John Hurt in the first film


Kirsh not being on Kavalier's side, knew it, good on him for having his own agenda


and am curious who Kavalier has in mind to let T.Ocellus take over, i reckon that janitor guy considering he said someone of lower class and lower iq to notice the difference with Ocellus, and someone who Ocellus can use to talk with Kavalier



and i'm curious what is up with the plant alien, they are kinda mysterious about that one so far

that also was Noah's intention, he said so in the podcast



btw sequel to Alien: Romulus confirmed, it is written by Fede Alvarez, but he isn't returning as director, but this was always the plan for the films, pretty sure the new director will be someone chosen by Fede who he thinks is the right one for his script
