The first two episodes played last night. Did you catch them? What are your thoughts.

I thought the first episode started out good, then it bogged down and redeemed itself toward the end. I supposed it was due to setting up the characters and back story.
The second episode, wow, it was fast paced and kept my interest. It ended too soon.
I will have to rewatch as I kept trying to compare the sets and the effects with the films. I do believe if they continue like the 2nd episode, it will be a hit.

Let me know what you think?

I’ve heard about this - though not seen it yet. I did it had some very good early reviews - always a bonus!

This is the show with Alex Lawther (Nemik from Andor, and also The End Of The Fucking World, amongst others things) - looking forward to it.

Just watched the trailer - intriguing. Nice one, suntech. I’m in.

I am really enjoying it.

From a fanservice POV I think one of the characters is a callback to Roy Beatty and subtly tries to bridge the Bladerunner-verse with the Alien-verse. Like same model of robot just a different series or refinement of the basic product.

I am finding very little about it on social media and I was fairly undecided going in- I really like it. Am disappointed that I am not finding more people to ‘‘nerd out’’ about it with.

I am wondering if others who watched the first two episodes got a vibe that the captured critters, some of them at least maybe have some sort of telepathic ability? Maybe to lure hosts/prey/lunch into a false sense of security?

I want a backstory series about the eyeball kid.

I am on the fence, waiting to see if this concludes or turns into another unfinished soap opera.

Has anyone finished this? Thoughts?
I am 2 episodes in. Plenty to “look” at, but it feels slow and padded.

Absolutely love the series and the Xenomoroph is unironically adorable as always.

I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe.

Star Wars has 3 eras: The eras are 1977-1983(pre Expanded Universe), (1983-2014) expanded universe, or (2014- now) Disney-bought version. Each are valid.

My movie reviews aren’t AI, they’re just written by someone who’s Neurodivergent. If you don’t like them, then simply don’t read them.

Well, after watching it for a while it is facinating but there is a lot of filler that makes it drag on. I look forward to some one doing a fan edit into a movie.

This is where the fun begins

The first season of Alien Earth is a fantastic addition to the stellar universe of the Alien franchise! I absolutely love everything that has been put into it, a must see for fans.

I’m rolling slow on this. Almost as slow as the pacing in this leisurely stroll of a series.
That said, I’ve finally made it to E05. Alien fans, this seems like the episode to watch.
Weyland-Yutani all the way. Hostile creatures on the loose owing to “malfunction”.
In fact, you don’t have to watch the first four shows, and thus avoid those whiny teenyboppers.
I sorta have interest in the series again, although, like the blonde date who says “maybe”, I know it’s going to disappoint me.
