With 2 episodes left, there's about a 90% chance the genius and his island turn into a mushroom cloud soon, so I'd say genius is a relative word there.

I predict the eye monster gets Boy Kavalier before the end (after his order to place the eye monster in a "low IQ" person like the janitor to see what happens, he deserves a bit of comeuppance). Then the island gets nuked. It's the only way to be sure.

Season 2 can be about the other corporations, after Replicant guy smuggles a Xeno out (hopefully also having a pitched fight with Morrow at the end of this season). We know basically nothing about 3 of the 5 corporations.

Tyrell Corp being involved in S2 (via Replicant guy) would be awesome too. I'm guessing they got absorbed or renamed to one of the other corporations mentioned in the show (for legal reasons) but it can be alluded to that it's the same continuity.

Well that a was retarded. The brother had no survival skills? Wendy being the alien whisperer is fucking dumb too. I was down to put up with a lot of shit on this show but I think it peaked in the ship episode.

I think it's safe to say that this thread has a TV show record for instances of the word "retarded"...and unfortunately, it's deserved. Still liked watching it.

But I'm still loving kirsch and morrow and the evil eyeball. I can't wait to see them drop someone in the cage with it and hear it talk.

Maybe someone already mentioned this, but this already happened in the flashback episode and it still was making gutteral noises. Of course the writers are retarded so who knows what they'll do with it.

I liked the episode. I don't like the xeno whisperer though. That whole arc is fucking retarded. It's like she learns a couple clicks and now she's a xeno queen? Wat?

I'm not defending it, because the show is so dumb, but I think her being able to communicate with the xeno is tied to her ability to manipulate electronics. Since the xenomorphs are biomechanical, they sort of live in the world between organisms and machines.... it's still stupid, but I think that's the implied in-story explanation.

This whole series has been a masterclass on how to completely rob a franchise of suspense and intrigue. Yeah, let's show the big bad xenomorph sitting on a box in a brightly lit cell looking bored. That's what the people want.

Also, the chestburster scene was the perfect distillation of this entire show: sorta like the first one but worse.
Even the very brief shot of the chestburster popping through his chest was a laughable version of the "guy laying under a latex model of his body" effect they used in the original Alien. It looked terrible and they didn't even bother to try to match up the angle of his head with the fake body. It looked like they covered a cardboard box with his shirt and got hm to stick his head next to it. Seriously, pause the show on that 1 second shot and see how bad it looks.

Boy Kavilier remind me of a discount version of Paul Atreides and the brother is an even more annoying version of Huey from The Boys. I think they’re going to give the eye the corpse of the guy that hatched the alien to see if he can communicate with BK.

I liked the speculation that Kirsh will give the Kavaliar to the eye.

Not related but also amusing.
