Episode 7 was a little clunky. I’ve noticed that non-Hawley directed episodes on both Fargo and this series are a crapshoot on quality and cogency. Why did Morrow’s ops guys all throw their gear into the water? EyeGuy being able to read English numbers for Pi was a stretch. Would have made more sense if Boy Genius had made simple marks. The ineptitude of the Prodigy security is up there with Storm Troopers. Was hoping for more EyeGuy action this episode but I guess it will all come together in episode 8. Anyone else think there’s some sort of symbolism with Dame’s big alien hair? You nailed it. She has a pet xeno. Wreaking. ; ) 100% They’re almost telegraphing the future EyeBoy union. I’ve been watching Fargo over the last couple of weeks and so far the writing on this show is far inferior. Unless Hawley wrote the idiocy of the characters on purpose as a homage to horror movies.
I keep going back and forth on this. I'd like to think Kirsh has his own agenda, but it does seem in hindsight like how he played Morrow assisted Kavalier perfectly. I guess it depends on what Kirsh does with the Arthur xenomorph he captured. I still think there is an outside chance that Kirsh is working for one of the other 3 big companies of which we have seen very little. Sometimes the writing on this show tickles me with how silly it is. It amounted to nothing, but after the facehugger impregnated Arthur fully while Smee and Slightly were distracted by the patrol, it apparently rolled off Arthur, climbed a tree?, all while Arthur came to and wandered off away from the two boys. Except that I'm pretty sure historically the facehuggers just flat die once they are done impregnating, so there was no reason it should have gotten up in the tree except to create a jump scare. Again, it amounted to nothing, but kind of tickled me.
Kirsch definitely has an agenda but Boy Kavalier might know what it is and just allow it. Interesting theory that he may be an agent of one of the other four companies. Good point on the facehugger. Incongruous.
I thought it took longer for them to burst out but then again . . .. timeframes are blurry. The question is.. . . . .How much information does EyeGoat retain from his hosts? We know he has inhabited at least 1 human. Would have been interesting to have more than one Eye Alien Rocket River
One thing I recently learned that is quite disappointing is that Alien Earth isn't meant to be canon to the movies. It's an alternate reality. So they can make up whatever they want to fit their story. Some reviewer calling Alien Earth the Andor to the franchise is looking real silly.
I have a theory that EyeGuy might be more than one creature, sort of a colony of seven Eye creatures glommed together. Remains to be seen how it will all shake out. Could end up being better and the start of something amazing. Or it could end up being the new Star Trek movies, which aren't bad but pretty much dismissed by all hardcore fans.
While Andor was good as a series, what elevated it to the next level was how well it slotted into the canon and continuity of the films. Alien Earth totally could've been written to fit with the films. We all know there's not much consistency already in the films. Black goo is hardly explained either. Alien Earth just didn't want to fit with the movies so they could write whatever they wanted.
Honestly - It COULD be canon still if they wanted it. Prometheus: (2089-2093) Alien: Covenant: (2104) Alien: Earth: (2120) Alien: (2122) Alien: Romulus: (2142) Aliens: (2179) Alien 3: (2179) Alien: Resurrection: (2381) You just have to feel that Prometheus and Covenant were so hush hush that no one knew about them I mean Yutani would know since they were their projects Then again maybe how they knew where to get these specimen (Heck I think they the ones that diverted the ship in the original Alien) but IF they say its not .. its not Rocket River
Hawley already said while the Canonicity was not there, he really wanted to stick to the Core Principles so it would not go as crazy as you might think it would.... Alternate Timeline means it is a new story within similar concepts. They have artistic freedom to the newer Creatures/Life forms but people still recognizes it as Alien.
