This is an 8-episode series. I hope it lives up to its lineage, even though I don't understand why they lean so heavily on teenagers like Alien: Romulus did.

I will watch, but I have very little faith it won't be a cheesy POS.

I'm REALLY hoping it's decent.

Yeah I’m fixing to renew the Hulu subscription for this. Hopefully it’s not a let down. I wasn’t as impressed with Romulus as I’d hoped.

Sounds like a film adaptation to the Alien- Earth Hive book series. As hospitable as earth is compared to more rigorous environments the Xenomorphs are able to exploit, it could be quickly be game over for any species large enough to accommodate a facehugger. I’m looking forward to the series in hopes they don’t ruin it with some silly ass woke horse shit.

Disregard, it’s been fixed

The horror!

It’s dubbed in Spanish in my country. Why! Oh, why??????

Wife not fond of sci-fi/Alien. Disney, why screw with this? No OV option

The first 2 episodes were pretty good. That first xenomorph is a killing machine.

Just finished the first two episodes. Interesting so far, but having trouble with the young adults acting like 10 year olds, because that’s what they really are. A bit distracting.

There is a reason for some acting like kids. Some of the young adults were terminally ill kids transferred into young adult synth bodies.

Yeah, I get the story reason why they are like that, but it’s pretty distracting and some of them seem pretty immature. So far, the coolest character is Timothy Olyphant’s Kirch.

I’ve enjoyed the first 3 episodes. Timothy Olyphant is my favorite character as well. In one part of episode 3, his dialogue reminded of Raylan Givens.

That's who he is in everything he does

Star Wars? Raylan Givens
Alien? Raylan Givens
The Office? Raylan Givens

He's just like Giancarlo Esposito who is Gus Fring in everything he does.

Check him out in the Santa Clarita Diet for a bit different take. Although I don't mind his repetitive 'Raylan' reprisals in other roles - Justified remains in my top 2-3 series to date.

Yep, he played what Rush Limbaugh called a "new castrati", a bit of a subservient amoral wimp, not playing to type. TO was also a central focus of one of Larry David's "Curb Your Enthusiasm", although that role was really nothing.

I'm liking it so far. I see bad things in store for the hybrids. The fact that they are adults playing children in adult synthetic bodies will make it extra horrible when truly terrible things happen to them that FX wouldn't allow to happen to child actors...

Not completely crazy about the alien so far, but they are working on a TV budget. Maybe the next variant (still plenty of eggs left, and it left the one guy live for some reason...) will look a little better.

Space Raylan is cool. There was clearly a moment there where he considered letting his boss stick his face right in that egg as it opened.

That eyeball octupus thing is extra awful. Drew a hearty "NOPE" from my wife when it came out of the cat.

It's better than I thought it would be, so far.

I'm still watching.

When 'Kirsh' had a verbal showdown with the Maginot's Chief Security Officer, Morrow, he reminded me of Raylan's first meeting what he senses will be a potential adversary (Limehouse, Markham, Duffy, etc.) He is feeling him out, but in a way that lets Morrow know who has the upper hand.

Due to his disdain for animals (humans) Kirsh looked excited, for just a moment, with witnessing his boss find out for himself what is in the egg. Like a babysitter watch an unruly child reach for a hot stove only to pull him back just in time because of a sense of duty or, in this case, a Prime Directive that is reluctantly followed.

Too bad. It could have been a great way for this character to exit.

Kind of thinking that’s going to happen eventually. Someone’s gonna get some face huggin’!

Or something. It seems a non-human could become a host, maybe that's what the aliens have been looking for all along. We've already seen something that might suggest face hugging is just one way to get a job done.

Hoping “Boy” gets face hugged soon, since he’s easily the most annoying character the show. But sadly, it will probably be someone else.

Just watched the 4th episode. Krish just keeps getting cooler. He seems to be on top of everything, and it probably manipulating everything. The eyeball octopus in action is pretty gnarly.

Trailer for Episode 5 is out. Looks like it’s going to be a flashback to what happened on the Maginot on the way back to Earth.

I have to wonder why the interior of the Maginot looks almost exactly like the Nostromo. Same corridor design, same butterfly hibernation pods, same MU/TH/UR, same dining area, etc. The Maginot left earth in 2055. Nostromo was built in 2101, so it’s at least 46 years newer. Can’t believe that interior ship design and computer systems didn’t change in 46 years.

I know it’s really for show reasons, but it doesn’t make sense.
