"He's right behind me, isn't he?"

"He knows you know Zoya..."

And yeah, Wendy has been given way too much power and control over things. A character like this is never entertaining to watch. She as a character is interesting in few episodes but the script was not creative enough. Cheesy phrases and grunge/metal music at the end does not help also.
​

Very very poor ending. I had hopes till episode 5. Then it all collapsed because the script was basically garbage. Kirsh as one the key players, intelligent as he was portrayed in first episodes, was an character that could've been more misterious and I was expecting him to have his agenda/deal with WY, but they went really cheap and cheesy. He was way way too naive and stupid in the finale, like it was not him. So the script is very contradicting as well imho.

Xenomorph as a dog does not work. Like wth, seriously?

I just hope we get to see Ridley do his movie to end Davids story. 

It's way too big to be David, Daniels, or any human.

Glad the eye is out of the sheep. What were those 3 points on it's head that laid down after the sheep got eyed?

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

They didn't show up until after Marcy became Wendy. They are not siblings.

How stupid is this! 

Why isn't the "baby" cocooning?

The boy genius should get eyed.

This was the most underwhelming finale in history. The series should be called Peter Pan or something, the Alien is literally a pet here. And only present so the series could be called Alien. Give him a leash already. And thanks for nothing with Ocellus, such potential there, and then - nothing.

This show sucks. There was one good episode and that is when they used it to show the aliens. Hate Marcy/Wendy. When they show her salivating mouth close up making clicking sounds, I want to throw something at my TV. She's a kid in an adult body and she can beat aliens, beat robots, control an alien that invaded Earth, control switches, control electricity, want to do harm to the brother who loved her, caused the xenomorph to kill the soldiers and the officers who were protecting her, and  I'm supposed to like this character along with her psycho red headed friend and the males who are the dumbest of the lot. The kid was even hateful and wanted to kill the scorpion that was contained. She didn't suddenly turn mean.  I hate this show and it is more than a disappointment. It sucks! Get rid of the lost boys, especially Marcy/Wendy, the woman who was their caretaker, her stupid husband and let's see some alien backstory without the idiot storyline of kids doing what marines couldn't do in t he movies.

I enjoyed it

I was not impressed by the finale. Disney is going to ruin Alien 😔

I haven't watched Ep8 yet but seems everyone is disliking it.  Now I am worry about future development. : (

Whether people liked the show or not, FX have already ordered a second season and the show did perform very well for Hulu and Disney, so a second season is going to happen. Look at the Halo series - it was garbage and it got renewed for more than one season lol.

Ooof, I wanted to love the show so much but it wasn't great. I probably won't be watching season 2, maybe for Kirsh if he's still in it, who knows. Right now I am not interested in watching any more of the show.

Love, love, love Alien Earth.

So glad to hear a season 2 is in the works!

Disney has already ruined the Alien franchise with this train-wreck of a show. Please no season 2.

Well...I was anticipating that particular host choice lol

Just finished the season finale... and I have to say, overall, I am disappointed.

The writing throughout this series is just bad. I'm all for supporting new projects and I'm thrilled Disney even greenlit an Alien series but come on... this show is not very good.

Things I didn't like:

First of all, way to convenient that Wendy can just magically control every aspect of the facility. And if she can control all the synths why did she spend any time fighting Atom when she could just "use the force" and pause him instantly. It's an inconsistent plot device that only conveniently used to explain away lazy storytelling.

There's absolutely no reason for the lights to have started flickering. No self destruction warning, no fuses blew... its an iconic element to the aesthetics of Alien movies but for the sake of making sense... it should've made sense.

The "Stay Frosty" line made me cringe so hard. It actually beat Andy's "Stay away from her you bitch" line from Romulus. So misplaced, so corny.

The Xenomorph looks like trash and should never be shown in daylight. And I loathe the fact it's basically Wendy's erand boy.

I was really anticipating more from this season finale but it ended on such a low note for me.

Things I liked: 

The Plumbicare is badass and I loved seeing it finally in action.

T Ocellus survived, he was the real star of the show.

It's over. Lol.

Any gripes people had about Prometheus or Covenant pale in comparison to the flaws this show present. I really don't wish to be negative, but I'm just being realistic. Just cause an Alien series exists doesn't mean we have to fangirl and praise it for existing.

They were so preoccupied with wondering if they could, they never thought to consider if they should.

That's my opinion anyway, if you guys enjoyed it I'm glad. I just have way higher standards for this franchise. I'm disappointed, they could have done so much more with it.

Morrow says on communicator "target one failed, going to target 2 . Who is target 2?I am assuming slightly is target 1.

Wasn't Target 1 Arthur, or at least the little Xeno?

I agree though if i have to guess Kavalier is going to have the Ocellus take over Dame Silvia, maybe Curly, Kirsh or even Morrow. Morrow has a swollen eye in the teaser for the finale. Sadly I think the sheep will be abandoned 

Keep on prouducing the series it’s good content and it’s better than any show on any streaming platform 

Thanks! I'll give this a listen with my coffee tmr morning ☕

Nice catch! I totally forgot about sheep in VW's A3 and it's definitely not a coincidence imo as they could've chosen any other animal to become and remain infected in Alien Earth. There's a clear emphasis on the sheep creature in the series. That's what I believe anyway. 

Interesting found. And the sheep is really the MVP in this Season 1. It's calm and collected as opposed to the Xeno. I hope Ocellus stays in the sheep body. They are inseparable. 

Here's a rundown of the wooden planet from AVPGalaxy. I first laid eyes upon this thing on Alien 3's special features. There's a segment dedicated to the wooden planet where Ward breaks down the plot of his unproduced script and shares some artwork. I initially thought that the sheep xenomorph was going to be his beast lol. Thankfully it wasn't. 

Fascinating! I was actually unaware of this trivia. I wonder if he was inspired by that as well, though we haven't heard him mention that yet. Great topic!

Morrow says on communicator "target one failed, going to target 2 . Who is target 2?I am assuming slightly is target 1.

I assumed Target 1 meant Arthur and Target 2 was the Chestburster inside him, but I could be wrong.

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.

The xenomorph stands like a human being. It's not scary like the ones in the movies. Hope Hawley gets rid of wendy/marcy and the lost boys.

They've gone the Jurassic World route. What used to be terrifying monsters are now "our friends", and have been turned into lapdogs.

It seems I am the only one who wants to see all the movies and the TV show tied together. Would like to see a movie where Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection are dreams and Ripley reappears with Newt and Hicks. Their ages could be explained by them crashing on a planet for the years it took to for them to get to their current ages. It's just ridiculous that kids can control and kill the xenomorph but marines could not. Hoping if there is a season 2 that the lost boys, especially Wendy/Marcy will be eaten by the fly. She was an evil kid before they transformed her.

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. 

Episode 7 was the worst. Can't stand Wendy/Marcy and the lost boys and hope the fly gets them all. Hoping season 2 (If they have one.) will only consist of the monsters and the boy genius. Marines can't kill or communicate with the xenomorph but that stupid girl can! She always was evil it's showing and the rest of them are playing follow the leader.

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.
