Alien: Earth

My last post on these boards was years ago, but i had to log in to give props to that 5th episode. Holy balls was this good tv / film. The tension and pacing was spot on and that hour flew by so fast. Joinning the club for the eye ball monster, id buy a tshirt. Why cant big budget movie , lookin at you romulus, compete with what i saw.

My only question: how could a nurse/ bio researcher ever capture such dangereous and smart species while being so, so dumb and careless.

They also said in the first episode they lost a pile of crew just catching them all. That was a real big ship for such a small crew and unlike the Nostromo which had a huge cargo area for mining this one was just research

Also this was probably the z team. No ace people are going to sign up for 65 years

Kudos and props indeed!

lol I guess the Asian bald dude wasn’t an android to explain his weird behavior he was just being Asian all along

definite Thing vibes from eyeball brah

-did it or black dude say “what’s the matter?”
-did it call out for homie backup or truly to call the alien?
-was it attacking or seriously going for the body takeover on the alien?

Unless it's acid immune how is it taking over the alien? I thought it was going for the jugular or whatever that thing has in order to kill it.

I want to know if it was trying to warn the nurse in the lab OR was actually trying to distract her so she would not notice those other little shits getting out?

As for the alien fight, I think it was trying for a take over

I think it was trying to warn her, it is smart enough to plan how to survive, and knew dumb humans staying alive is probably its best way out of its current situation.

Immediate thoughts after watching the newest episode:

I thought Tang was a full on android, I guess not due to the smoking and the alien tearing him apart. If he was an android, thats pretty fucking dumb.

Morrow is even more of a badass than I had thought. Scary fucking dude.

They must have FTL communications as the video chat between Dipshit Richboy and the Saboteur was instantaneous. Or they just fucked it up on purpose when filming as it would have been too complex to do it the right way.

Oculusopus was trying to help the nurse, interesting! That creature is the best thing about this show.

Unless we get more flashbacks, they wasted the absolute best actress of the series. The brunette chick in cryo that Tang was staring at. She has been in other shows, thought for sure she would have a bigger part in this one, what a waste.

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Ridley Scott should be feeling pretty good after this episode. What a total throwback to his work, which at this point is approaching 50 years old. The highest praise for this episode is that it almost reached the quality of a 50 year old movie, and I don't even mean that with disrespect. Good on Noah Hawley.

This was a good episode, although it annoyed me a lot that the xenomorph is just too much 'guy in a suit' movement wise. This is definitely a case of 'less is more' I think ;p

It’s weird the intro for this sticks with me. If anything watching any other way of doing a previously on. It’s just something that I never thought about and it’s done so well lol.

With the way it moves and the platinum grill I was expecting it to give big titty latina a "sup girl" in that hallway.
