He needs an eye transplant.
Alien TV series (Alien Earth) : 2025
- Thread starter something daft already!!
- Start date
Ripley "ends" Dallas by torching him with a flamethrower after he is cocooned by the Xenomorph in a frankly highly ambitious and ill thought-out trapping manoeuvre.
How's about that for a Dallas ending spoiler!

An alternative take. I thought that was another banger of an episode.

The only reason I'm watching is the eyeball, it gives me the creeps in that sheep, just staring at everything. The android and cyborg are the next interesting subjects, then the alien xenomorph. The rest I couldn't care less about.

At least they didn't add a wobbling duck drinking thing as memberberry, I think they had that in Romulus.
If you mean the bird thing that dips back and forth, it was in the first episode, right in the back of one of the scenes on the side, I was keeping an eye out for it which is why I noticed it

Groan
Around 5 mins in, in the scene where they are sat at the table, if you look carefully in the background you can see it. Its very subtle and they dont make a point of making it obvious, but if you're looking hard, as I was, you can see it

I'm still enjoying it too, I dont find it any more or less unfeasible than the actions and occurrences of almost every other scifi/horror film. Contrivences in order to have things happen are pretty rampant in most films, as I've mentioned before I could pick realism holes in anyones favourite most highly regarded tv show/movie. So I might be enjoying Alien Earth because I'm more accepting of that kind of thing.

Ultimately, does one want to be entertained or not.
Anyone can look for holes in a plot if we want to. Suspension of belief is required though to actually enjoy something like this. I loved the original Alien film and yet that had plot holes and contrivances on a par with this.

Yup, my favourite film of all time is The Thing ( the 2nd one, the Kurt Russell one) but even that is riddled with "come on, a person wouldnt really do that/people wouldnt really do x in that way" moments. Still love the film though.

This is a weird one, i'm 5 episodes in and i'm still trying to decide if I like it or it's complete turd! i'll carry on........
Ventilation shafts in tv shows and movies always make me chuckle. They always seem to be big enough for a human to crawl through, just imagine how many thrillers, horrors, scifis and crime films would fail if their ventiliation shafts werent human sized, John Mclane would be dying a lot harder for a start
None of the security adds up at all though
Just caught up with the latest episode.
I'm loving it personally. Genuinely excited to explore this story going forward. I think the cyborg Morrow is a brilliant character. Wendy and her pet xeno are going to be quite a duo. And that sheep just standing there watching everything is utterly terrifying.

Don't get me wrong, this weeks episode was not a patch on last weeks, but i enjoyed it.
They dragged out the first half, 3/4's but it is ramping up. Too much time wasted on the politics and also muppet brother, but the last 20mins was bang on.
