I wish they would quit it with the super long shots. They’re taking half hour episodes and making them 50 minutes by extending shots long after their purpose has been served. When they brought everything back to the private island? That sequence was long, boring shots that only served to remind us of the events of the last episode.
It is a much better Alien than most of the Alien movies though. I just worry that since there’s no mention of hybrid synths or Prodigy in the established media they’ve already spoiled the ending.
Also the eyeball squid totally gets the Zuckerberg guy. Calling it now.
Agreed, I love the pseudo-retrofuturism that they include to make it feel like the world of the original Alien films was valid. It really sits nicely as a Canon part of the Alien universe. I’m excited to see where it goes.
Caught up on Alien: Earth. This series is fantastic and does a great job paying homage to the original Alien aesthetic without being campy.
