Alien: Earth (FX) • Page 8

This show is something else.

 

Just excellent television. I love everything they’re doing. The actor who plays Harrow steals every scene.

 

This show might have the first "previously on" that is actually cool to watch.

 

Legitimately my only complaint thus far is on Hulu at least there isn’t a “next time on…” so I can see what they’re cooking up next week.

 

Ok that ending was wiiiiiild

 

This show has me locked in every week like
Shogun did last year. Thanks for consistently delivering appointment television FX.

 

There's no way this doesn't get a 2nd season

 

A few peeves but this is a beautifully made show. Love the pacing, the quality, I'm very impressed with the level of care given to this.
Cast is amazing especially under the complex premise, and having Olyphant on board in a great role is also doing a lot for me.

 

Enjoying this but not as much as some of you.

 

Just finished episode 2, and really enjoying it. Fits right into the universe and aesthetic of the best of this franchise.

Also the Reggie Jackson baseball scene in E02 proved not only does Ice Age exist in this universe, but BASEketball also exists in this universe, as I'm assuming that ball is from one of the first 2 home runs from 1977. Joe Cooper caught the third.

 

The shots of Olyphant lurking from like behind a window or glass pane get me every time.

 

It's funny that when they discovered Wendy could hear the aliens communicating they didn’t immediately try to adjust the hearing of any of the other hybrids. I know she's Boy Kavalier's favorite, but you'd think he'd want as much of (what he perceives as) a good thing as possible.

I like how this episode fleshed out more of the potential risks that the hybrids can cause. Obviously Prodigy isn't around by the time the Nostromo lands on LV426, but it's just as likely their hybrids are responsible as that lab full of specimens.

Next week's episode is about what actually happened on the Maginot, and I'm so curious!

 

Ohhhhh shit that will be good

 

What is Kavalier doing narrating Peter Pan into the mic? Is the implication that is being broadcast to the "kids" every night?

 

Yes

 

I would say that this is shaping up to be Disney's best franchise tie-in TV series since Andor at least.

 

Thinking more about the opening crawl laying out the three choices of humanity's future destiny: Cyborgs, Synths, or Hybrids.

From the future set installments we already know the answer to who eventually comes out top there, it's the Synths. Which makes Kirsh the most interesting character here. Knowing the history in Alien films of Synths being duplicitous I am definitely watching his actions very closely.

 

I do find myself wanting more fast-paced alien action, but I also know the middle stuff here it’s important for the overall story, even if I found it a bit plodding at times.

 

Also, the ending was cuuuuuuute

 

good episode, I feel like it's clicking more with me now that the kids kind of each have a Thing to do in the plot. also 4 episodes in I finally know their names lmao

it might’ve been explained and I missed it but do we know how Morrow and Slightly are just able to communicate over distance like that?

 

morrow planted something on his neck

 

Found episode 3 to be kind of a chore

 

Smh

 

good last 10 minutes though

I am currently on the fence about these kids who are in adult bodies.
