I would argue we're getting closer and closer to "low cap fishing vessel" type space already. Bezos sent Katy Perry and his wife up and it doesn't get much more adolescent and retarded than that. With a mostly proven AI "mother" running things and at least one synth/cyborg to provide local...

I think all the hybrids must have wifi. The security guy told Slightly and Smee they watched their eye feed and it was a surprise which wouldn't be if they had to physically download that once they returned. Curly and one of the other kids were present for the vivisection and didn't appear to...

I think it's supposed to be a couple decades before Alien 1, potentially after the ship left earth though so they would have no knowledge of what happens in this show. It actually has the potential to clear things up for 1 & 2 as to why/how Ash and Bishop had prime directives to preserve the...

They never gave a real clear shot of the surgical suite but it appeared they were doing normal life saving surgery on the brother, removed a collapsed lung, hooked up the removed lung to life support, and then put the alien tadpole in with the lung. I guess this allows them to keep the actor...

I'm curious what the deal with the medic is. Nothing about the story thus far shows any real value for individual lives. Other than being Wendy's brother he's completely expendable. Why extract a lung instead of just letting the Allen impregnate him normally. I suppose he's leverage over Wendy...

My guess for nibs is not that she's infected by the eye but rather she can't come to grips with having a synth body. The eye alien was just a trigger for her to notice her eye isn't human. Nibs body isn't her body so she'll self mutilate. It the writers are especially sinister she'll willingly...

Didn't they show the dead real child in the hybrid creation montage? I agree there should be a goal of copy without destroying original but I'm willing to enjoy what they've presented here as a first step and all the ethical questions it poses.

Agree. The preteen hybrids present a ton of opportunity for interesting plot. I'd bet the writers are using the aliens as mcguffins anyway with the "alien" being just one xeno present and the intro talked about the synth, cyborg, hybrid battle for immortality and nothing about aliens.

There's diversity but it's almost all background characters. Wendy, medic brother, Timothy, Boy prodigy, dame mother and other scientists are all white. The other hybrids are a mixed bag but more whiteish than not. Asian yutani is to be expected and I had no problem with the black cyborg...

Isn't there a training drill for bola vs BTs? I know people who aren't interested in 100% might skip those but they do a decent job for understanding how the game intends you to use weapons. IIRC the weapon description also says "infused with Sam's blood to counter BTs" or something like that...

I was wondering the same thing

In the 80s and early 90s when cable TV was taking off and really only like a dozen channels the Reeve movies were played all the time on WGN and TBS. Yes, the first one was '78 but it's not like you had to see it only in 1978 to have that be "your" superman. There's a reason Office Space went...

She pokes the kaiju in the eye with her morning star and gets stuck in it's eye lid. That's about all I remember of her besides the annoying screeching so to say she was underdeveloped and underused is an understatement.

That's how he's introduced but it's almost immediately revealed that he's being coerced.

He's in some crucial scenes but not in the way you'd expect and not really part of the Justice League. Actual fighting from him is maybe 15 seconds near the end with one cool combat move. And of all the characters that could use at least a line or two of dialog for backstory I thought he needed...
