So the Alien that was killed by the Wendy was actually controlled by one of the eye creatures the entire time after the crash, correct? I think the real alien won the fight against the old human the eye was controlling but the eye jumped out and took control of the alien right before the crash.
Are the eye creatures a new part of alien lore?

I mean its tough to know if the writing is bad (it probably is) or not just because its tough to know the character like Wendy. On surface writing her as a kid makes sense, but is it a kid or a computer, and is it behaving like a girl should or like a homicidal machine. So I'll give them some slack on at least her writing just because the character could be all over the place.
Some of the other potentially bad writing could just be the 5d chess that Kirsch is playing. Example, while watching I thought it was retarded we are to expect one of the richest people in world's fortress of solitude is so under manned and insecure two of their biggest projects just walk around the complex with a dead body, and a invading force of 15 people can just walk around freely, until I realized Kirsch orchestrated it all as a setup.
So yea...not great writing still, but the show to me is best thing we've got in a long time for TV so I'm giving it a pass.

Agreed. The goat standing around just sorta casually watching all the chaos happening around it has been a consistent source of amusement. It's a weird, malevolent goat.

This has gotten to the point where it's so hilariously bad and Goofy, it's entertaining but not for the right reasons. I think I did see a smart gun though, but unfortunately nothing got blasted. I just find it funny that everybody's got weapons and nobody ever shoots anything. Wendy and her pet xenomorph which I also said she was going to do something with, it's just hilariously stupid.
At this point I figured the last episode of this going to be total shlock, and hopefully a lot of fun.
I don't understand why anybody was sucking the dick of this Noah Hawley guy. This is easily one of the dumbest shows I've ever seen despite it being amazing looking, but like I've said multiple times in the past, polishing a turd doesn't make it any better.

That was a weird (and short) episode by itself, hopefully redeemed by a solid, longer season finale.
That scene with Slightly and the facehugger's disgusting noises and how he tries to make Arthur drink through the process was funny in a horrible way. I was also half expecting him to accidently break off one of the facehugger's "fingers" and have some acid burn off Arthur's ear or something when he was trying to pull it off his face.
Kirsch was the highlight as he often is. Also interesting moments with the eye monster, not sure if it's just trolling Boy Kavallier to drive him even more nuts, or just playing the long game.
Wendy being able to actually communicate with a xenomorph probably means this entire story arc needs to be deleted in a mushroom cloud because it's going to break the lore if anything survives this season's events.
Nibs going nuts (gasp what a shocker) also was a fun moment.
But other than that, the pacing and writing felt really unlike the previous episodes I thought.

To be fair, do you know what would happen to any of those soldier dudes if their excuse for shooting down a 6 billion dollar pet project of their boss is "but she was hurtin' a human, sir!"..?
Prodigy (and the other four companies probably) doesn't give a fuck about humans anymore, Atom didn't even blink about going to make a list of low-IQ employees to transfer the Eye Midge into.
Every one of those soldiers knows they're literally worthless and disposable compared to just one of those machines or specimens, they have their orders.
As a reminder, Ms. Yutani initially offered 10 billion dollars to Prodigy as compensation for the damage AND casualties from the Maginot crash on Prodigy City. Probably thousands of dead people, and a half destroyed skyscraper. 10 billion. Offered to a TRILLIONAIRE. That's just enough to dismantle the debris, haul the rubble and rebuild the tower, so that says something about how much value they put on people.

Yeah the team of special forces getting wiped out with out firing a shot by one Xenomorph was pretty cringe.

The only thing I can think of are those guns were the precursor to the pulse rifle and may be a bit under powered, but it's really under powered writing. Then again the aliens and synthetics living are priority 1.

The Weyland-Yutani team had one of their dudes shoot like 5 or 6 times up at the xenomorph when it pounced down onto him and yet he was completely undamaged. It's possible he might have missed, but I think you're onto something, nobody has the gear or ammo required to take on xenomorphs reliably on the island or in the infiltrating team except maybe Morrow with his cyborg enhancements.
Remember that the Colonial Marines in Aliens (which takes place 59 years later so by then technology has evolved a lot) had a bunch of high-tech crazy weapons and ammo, including explosive rounds which is what really fucked up the xenomorphs when they were retreating to the APC and shot a bunch of them dead. Xenos were literally exploding in bursts of acid blood, but here they might as well be shooting them with NERF darts. Only electric rifle has done anything to a xeno so far in this show.
Being on a mission where you're undergeared and probably not allowed to damage something that actively tries to hunt and kill you must be one hell of a ride.

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?
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.

These are absolutely the precursor to the pulse rifles in Aliens.
