I hope David is behind all these plans even he is not in the show. Also I wonder if all Aliens will be destroyed towards the end of ALIEN EARTH. In ALIENS, it seems all those corporations have no clues on the existence of these creatures (as mentioned during the debrief with Ripley).Too many storylines going in too many different directions. It's confusing. They need to tie them all together to that monster once and for all. Maybe then they can stop creating stupid movies about it. As far as corporations having no idea, didn't that creepy little guy send that family to that ship knowing full well what was on it. That room full of lawyers are a room full of liars. Also, the money man just said millions, not trillions like they keep saying in Alien Earth. These Alien movies and series need some consistency.
It's not hard to follow. You have one main time line and that goes like this
Prometheus, Alien Covenant, Alien, Alien Romulus, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien Resurrection
Alien Earth is a self contained storyline free of Scott's prequels.
The Alien vs Predator movies are non canonical. Scott doesn't like the idea of AVP i think mainly because he didn't like Predator. Those will never be canon. We'll see what Predator Badlands does. After 46 years Alien's timeline is still more straightforward than say Terminator and slasher series like Halloween and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
I thought David created that horror.
David never made them. He only imitated. There's too much evidence in Prometheus and Alien that debunks David as their creator.
I caught the distant moon bit and am uncertain what to make of it. I honestly don't believe he means LV 426 as rerouting space truckers to acquire a specimen wouldn't make much sense after a research team full of professionals and at least one cyborg. Why send blue collar working class types? It might be too early making assumptions to what this means. I'm certain we'll probably get a flashback episode before the season is up. At this rate the emphasis on Alien Earth being it's own continuity is becoming more apparent. Prometheus and Covenant already don't matter and by extension Romulus won't happen. I can't even guarantee Earth will lead to Alien at this rate.
Noah Hawley is a fucking idiot.
It would be fun seeing how the alien made the stuff that held Hermit. It kinda looked liek vomit. Did the alien vomited some stuff? The music before the cut releasing the facehugger felt odd but it was a great scene.
Love SciFi, continuity is definitely an issue for a number of reasons. First, the original Alien was released in 1979 and is set in the year 2122. Aliens was released in 1986 and was set in the year 2179. Aliens was also written and directed by different people than Alien, and was less of a horror movie and more of an action movie. Our current TV show is set in 2120, so technically the events of Alien and Aliens haven't happened yet. The prequels might be ignored completely for the purposes of this show (seems possible), but perhaps there is an intent to link up with Alien and maybe Aliens to "fix" some of the inconsistencies. As to the dollar values back in 1986 millions of dollars was still a lot of money. The concept of a trillionaire is something fairly recent.

Kirsh and Morrow are the best characters so far.
It makes me sad that they let the orange cat die. Jonesy was a survivor and his throwback should have survived too. It's bad enough that they 'killed' a cat in the first place but if they 'had' to do it then they should have put two cats on the Maginot and had the other non-orange cat be the victim.
Thank you neomorph for sharing the Time article. As much as I like the character David I never liked the concept that he created the xeno. Apparently Noah Hawley also prefers an ancient alien. I still believe the eggs were found on LV426, but how they got there and how the Maginot found them may be open questions.
I thought David created that horror.
Series creator Noah Hawley was not to keen on focusing on the backstory from the prequels.
[Quote] "For me, and for a lot of people, this 'perfect life form'—as it was described in the first film—is the product of millions of years of evolution that created this creature that may have existed for a million years out there in space," he told KCRW. "The idea that, on some level, it was a bioweapon created half an hour ago, that’s just inherently less useful to me."

LV426 seems like the most likely source for the xeno eggs. I don't know if they're using any of the Prometheus extra features material as part of the back story or not, but I recall reading that Peter Weyland intended to go on to LV426 if the mission to LV423 proves fruitless. I also recall that Weyland had already intercepted the beacon signal from LV426 prior to the launch of Prometheus so clearly the company was interested in going there.
Based on the muscle density of the xeno, and further detailed analysis of its biceps brachii as showed here
I've come to the conclusion that the host was a character played by none other than Dwayne Johnson
Episode 3 is so good. Actually all 3 are good. It's such an amazing victory to continue to Alien saga with this TV show. I hope it will get at least 5 seasons. :D
Btw I love Boy Kavalier's room. It has a 60s retro yet futuristic feel.
I was not expecting much before I watched the movie, but was extremely pleased with Alien Romulus! I thought the Offspring was awesome, but I am in fact, a long time Engineer-lover!!
The Offspring creeped me out so, the job was done well lol I too, loved the inclusion of Prometheus lore and Engineer DNA in the film’s final act. Hoping more of this gets fleshed out in the Romulus sequel. 🙏🏻
Maybe, if the show is successful, they will create some new music for the show. Don't like the music either. It is out of place.
After watching 3rd episode I really happy with the show so far. It even exceeds my expectation as it brings all the creatures in a brand new level. All the main characters kick ass and Kirsh and Kavalier are particularly amazing in it (Kirsh gives me David vibe). I also love the Peter Pan hybrids idea, so refreshing and creative (and considering it has some dark theories regarding the subject matter).
I did enjoy the ending of Episode 3 a lot more than I enjoyed its beginning lol The show is growing on me in some ways, I enjoy the Kirsh character arc so far the most and I hope to see more of his curiosities explored, but frankly I have yet to care at all about the Lost Boys and the Hybrid angle. I’m struggling to get into it due to their child-brains 😂
Overall the third episode was an improvement though, for sure. Eager to watch Ep. 4 next week!
I had never heard of this one! I’ll look for this on Tubi now that you mentioned it, thanks for sharing this! 🙂

There seems to be some similarities between Earth and Scott's prequels. Whether it's intentional or coincidental remains to be seen.
Planet 4 might be one of the planets that they have found a home on. If we look at the Roman empire there might have been different roles for the Engineers and that some of them might have been civilians (planet 4) and the one that we saw in Prometheus might have been one of their soldiers that was sent out to keep their creations in check if the creations got out of hand (humans). We haven't been given an answer so my idea might be wrong, but this is how I interpret it.
The Xeno which attacks and is killed by Wendy was born from a Human on-board the Maginot prior to its crash. "WHO" still remains a mystery, however.
Kirsh has his jumpsuit sleeves rolled up just like Bishop!! <3
That Maggot Brain cover was good.
Did he also say it is magnificient?
Yes the official release versions are: the theatrical version and the considerably longer and better "assembly cut" released in the early 2000s I believe.
I am so much more thankful for Alien Romulus getting made instead!

I thought Wendy having some sort of telepathic link to the xenomorph might have something to do with her ability to control cameras/other technology shown in episode 2.
Wendy was able to alter the code of that robot to speak to her brother, and it was pointed out by the scientists observing her that Wendy was never taught how to do that, and they didn't even know it was possible.
Since the xenomorphs are also part machine, maybe this telepathic connection is the same ability, but she is not able to fully control it since they are not fully mechanical?
ignorantGuy Hannibal spared Clarice and told her the world was a more interesting place with her in it while David killed Shaw to make his own world more interesting. Hannibal seems honorable compared to David. Hannibal basically killed those who deserved it while David seemed more about his own agenda. At any rate, it is interesting to compare/contrast these characters.
Didn't Hannibal kill a nurse and doctor also?
First time the showed an actual embryo in the egg. Wonder how he knew it was there.
I don't think the red headed girl will make it past season 1.
Alien Earth is separate continuity so far. They've confirmed as much. It'll still lead to Alien but Aliens is 59 years after this so i doubt Noah Hawley is really concerned with neatly tying into anything that far down the timeline. Prometheus and Covenant already don't matter to Earth. He doesn't like the prequels.
They do use some things from the prequels. One of the things that stood out was when David's master told him to pour his tea and David gave him that look. In Alien Earth, the boy genius degraded his assistant by stating he never had an intelligent conversation with her and she gave him the same look. Wonder what she will do to him as the series progresses. Hell hath no fury!
There is more than one version?
I haven't watched it so I don't know, it seems a bit high when I think of it. I'm not sure what could top the original three, I guess that we'll have to wait and see how peoples perception change over time.
Yeah, I’m a little shocked it surpassed the original 2 of all films, but as others have pointed out it could simply be that the original 2 haven’t received as many votes or ratings on Rotten Tomatoes platform. I’m really not sure as I’ve never used their site to review anything, not sure how it works.
Makes me wanna revamp our movie and review section though, to allow for hard core fans to give their honest reviews, no paid endorsements 😉
