Not sure the demo is a pet. I am thinking more another sibling or ally.

Xeno  not demo

Morrow says on communicator "target one failed, going to target 2 . Who is target 2?

I am assuming slightly is target 1.

I have to wonder if Wendy can really tame or train a xeno.  We've always thought of the xeno as a killing machine, but maybe there is more to it than that. The xeno has a huge head and maybe a brain of human or greater size. Maybe the xeno is smart enough to make a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" type analysis. Wendy pointed out that the xeno does not see her as food as it does with humans so perhaps it sees her as something of an equal. But maybe the xeno is playing her the way Morrow played Slightly into thinking its her friend.  The killing of the soldiers would not be inconsistent with the way we've seen xenos act before so many be it's just pretending to be following orders. 

I couldn't possibly have said it better Chris. It's like if we watch Jason Voorhees go to therapy sessions and suddenly feel bad about what he's done and decides (and is allowed despite what he's done and is widely KNOWN as) to work as a preschool teacher. 

Ripley 8 (who knew xenomorphs better than anyone probably being a xeno hybrid) said it best herself:

"Roll over, play dead, heel? You can't teach it tricks" and

"It's a queen, she'll breed, you'll die"

I always said my line in the sand was pet Xenomorphs... lol I cringed so hard when they "trained" Raptors in the first Jurassic World. You can't humanize a monster designed to instill fear. There is absolutely no need for it and the execution... I dunno about you but my impression of the Xenomorph is completely different watching it act on Wendy's behalf. It's not scary, it's the same feeling I'd get watching a dog. The Alien once was a symbol of the perfect killing machine, unclouded by morality. Now... it's been reduced to a errand boy for a child robot. 

And i hoe Wendy will give her pet a name. :p

This episode is crazy with the pet alien lol. I am not sure if it is too far out but its well executed and fun to watch. Our living earth is somewhat a mess so it could be good we have a new pet. 

Yeah, I think the main gripe is the thickness of the Xenomorph overall. Not to body shame Aliens but their eerie aesthetics are in part the reason they look so creepy and imposing. It would be like if they cast a bodybuilder as Slenderman... it just wouldn't have the same effect.

The head and the neck are too big, clearly a guy in a suit.

Reminds me of

I also like the second Xenomorph a bit better than the first one; it's more yellowish. What I dislike is the neck.

One of the goats 🔥 Love Carlos Huante's work!

Beautiful fan art poster depicting Vincent Ward's Alien 3 by artist diamonddead. Without undermining Alien 3 as it is (assembly cut is a good film by all means) I hope Ward's bold vision will come to life on the screen in a future film or mini series 🤞Agreed. I've been wanting at least a book or comic adaptation so long as it fairs better than the William Gibson adaptation. The comic was pretty underwhelming in my opinion. While we're on Alien 3 here's one from Barry Ballaran

Oh for sure I'm down with a comic book that captures those huge and beautiful interiors on the wooden planet.

I thought the same and this one looks better . I got the impression that the xeno in episode 5 also looked a little different than the roidmorph.

Also, interestingly enough the cgi xenos' body frame look noticably different than the practical versions (i.e way lankier) imo which is a bit of a blunder. 

Why was that black goo coming out of his head?

Lightened up for a closer look at the differences:

I found the Xenomorph looked a bit better in this episode.

Glad to hear the director confirmed this. Hope we will get the 2nd season next year and I agree there are still much more to explore before heading to 2122.I think Noah Hawley intentionally avoid confirming his show linking to Prometheus & Covenant because Ridley Scott may already have plan for his third prequel, and also we may have Romulus 2 so it's good Hawley only focuses on the uncharted 57 years for now. Once a third prequel and Romulus 2 are released maybe we will see more characters appearing in all timelines.

I will forever argue there could have very easily been a way for Hawley to mold his story around Ridley's prequels and tie everything together. I could come up with several storylines myself and I probably will try my hand at a few in the future just for fun. The problem is everyone wants to have their "own" spin on things, they want all the credit which is why they change things and ignore source material. I dunno, I just always had this fear Disney's acquisition of the IP would lead to this kind of continuity confusion and it seems I was right.

There is a connection: "

Alien: Earth timeline confusion: Noah Hawley talks connecting the series to ALIENS as well!"

Woops wrong topic. Can that be deleted?

I gotchu!

Is this fan edit complete? 😃

Here's a favorite Paolo Rivera "Priority One"

Woops wrong topic. Can that be deleted? 

Again make a topic about your issues please. You bring these comments everywhere. This doesn't have a whole to do with the  story above. As for Aliens special edition it goes like this. Burke after hearing Ripley's story sent a message to Hadleys Hope to "go look at a grid reference". The Jordan family are indeed the ones that found the derelict. They waited to call it in until they investigated so they knew what to call it in as. Russ Jordan got facehugged and is likely patient zero for the Hadleys Hope hive. Burke attempted to absolve himself of responsibility what happened to the colony by saying what if the ship didn't exist and he didn't know if it did. The Jordan's made a mistake entering but it didn't matter because with the ship found the company would have investigated anyway. 

There is a version of Aliens that starts with Newt's family, how her parents wanted to claim the ship they were told was safe, how the father brought the first one back with him on his face while Newt and Timmy waited in the vehicle, and the facility where they were  trying to remove the facehugger. Would love to see some consistency with these movies and the new tv show. Wendy/Marcy's face just making clicking sounds for what seemed like an eternity was boring and made me want to shut the TV off.

He can say that but he's still disregarded Prometheus and Covenant. No denying that really. There's an interview where he says the only movies that are canon to his series are Alien and to a major degree Aliens. At most those two matter to him

I know, it really annoys me that show creators or even new film directors can come in and just disregard the canon chronology that's been established. It's just laziness, in my opinion. Stories don't matter as much if they just change on a whim based on someone else's opinion. There's plenty of room creatively to build in the Alien sandbox without erasing valuable lore in the process. Just makes things messy for no reason.

Here's a highlight, DarfreZilla Arts and their Offspring Xenomorph crossover piece:

I feel this episode a little bit dragged during the first half, but the second half is getting much better. The sheep is really the G.O.A.T. lol.

😯

Love the look of this! Thanks for sharing Nebula! I'll be keeping a close eye on this one!

I wanted to love this series so much, but i'm honestly just not super excited about it anymore. It's ok but it's nothing special, imo. Wendy talking to the xeno was stupid, it's been done in the comics and should have stayed there. I'll finish the series and fully judge then, but I enjoyed Fargo and Legion much more than this.

I pretty much only like Kirsh and Morrow at this point, but Kirsh turning out to be a villain is sorta boring, the hostile to humanity synth has already been done to perfection by Fassbender (and to a certain extent Hauer), it feels a bit tired going down that route again. A synth that has disdain for humanity just doesn't work for me, they're machines at the end of the day, David was a unique situation. The reason Aliens, Romulus, Isolation and other media in the franchise is so loved is because the Synths in those stories were so lovable and pure of heart. I can't believe a Predator (Badlands) movie will probably have Synths I care about more than the ones in an Alien series....

Speaking of Synths, I am sure Atom Eins is one, this is the most obvious foreshadowing ever.

Side note, I better see that mf plant creature do something, it's the one I was always the most interested in, lol.

Episode 6: The FartAs if the series' couldn't get any worse it digs itself through rock bottom. Wendy (who has one more expression than a bird nesting box) worrying about the xenos and their emotions (when she mentions how they'd "feel" being captured as if it was ever important in the franchise) is about as shockingly stupid as it could possibly get. This show doesn't do the franchise any favors except spitting acid in its face just like Disney did with Star Wars. The most terrifying space monster in cinema history is reduced to a confused gender affirmed animal we're supposed to feel sympathy for.Two episodes left, I don't know if I can do this anymore.Looking forward to Aliens Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition so I can wash away the puke taste in my mouth. I might do a review of in in the games forum.

Agree with neomorph. When they show Wendy/Marcy making clicking sounds at the "baby alien", close up and endlessly, I want to throw something at my TV. It's long, drawn out, and boring. I hope the monsters put all of them out of their misery, except the boy genius and Kirsh. Then start over in season 2 with the monsters trying to take over earth.

I hope Kirsh assumed the Xeno was a male based on the creature's phallus-shaped head. I was wondering what was going to happen with Nibs since she was clearly traumatised from what she saw in the USCSS Maginot wreckage, thinking she might eventually snap. But they erased her memory, and it's all goodie now. The flying insects look cool tho. The eyeball thing, Ocellus is plotting something. Hopefully, all the creatures break containment and wreak havoc.
