I got the VR game but I was so stuck in one place after like 40 minutes into the game, and had no idea how to get the way out and was killed by the Alien lol. Then I have to start over again from the checkpoint but it was like a long walk after my last death. It was frustrating and not really comfortable being on a VR game too long. So I have been given up the game for a while.

But now having the 2D platform, I am happy and may play this first instead of VR so as to get familiar with the whole map and able to enjoy the experience more without the frustration in virtual reality.  :p

His show contradicts everything about ALIEN and ALIENS, what a fucking flip flopper!

ALIEN was doing fine more or less before Hawley cluster fucked the timeline by having Pulse Rifles and Smartguns appear before they were invented. I fucking hate Noah Hawley, he is just as worse as Paul W.S. Anderson

Well the velociraptors at the end of the day were just genetically altered animals.
​
​But yeah Xenomorphs should not be able to be tamed

I'd bet what you said Neomorph is what most of us are thinking. I know I'm in the camp that didn't like the execution of it either. My biggest gripe is that it does diminish the "terror" factor of the Xenomorph. It dumbs down its essence and it's now left the once Perfect killing Organism, as nothing more than another attack dog for a deranged robot. It was painful to watch.

Yes! Can't wait to get started on this after I finish System Shock Remake. 

I absolutely think the series will only further fuel the "creature fatigue" and start to shift interest back into the world-building backstory Scott set out to expand on with his prequels.

Bring back David!!! We want more prequels

I stopped caring after the 5th episode, only watched for Kirsh after that.

To me a bad episode is better than no episode at all. So I am glad Season 2 is green-lighted. And Season 1 isn't really bad overall. It has some really well-made episodes (I like 1,2,3 and 5) so I see a glass half-full and enjoy those 4 hours watching. Just hope it won't become Alien Pokemon lol 

Yes I am also looking forward to any Alien prequel news. Given that we now have the Pokemon Xenomorph in Alien Earth lol, I think fans kind of get tired with the creature and more eager to go back to the space again created by Sir Ridley. 

Agreed, it's been quiet on the Romulus sequel front... I wonder if they'll be dropping something near Christmas. That's when Prometheus began it's hype train and Covenant was marketed in the Fall too. Perhaps they're just moving very quietly... or maybe Scott put a pause on it to revisit his Alien prequels...

I wouldn't mind waiting a bit if it meant a we got another Alien prequel with Scott at the helm.

Seems the project not having much progression. It's October already and there is no news about new director at all.    : (

Uuugghhhh....I don't like it at all (surprise surprise!) 

🚨 Triggered warning🚨

It's another nail in the coffin for the Xenomorph terror factor and the (once) mystery surrounding the horrifying space entity. While the manner of how things are executed obviously can make a big difference in general (Ripley 8 and the Newborn connection and David 8 communicating with the tiny xeno baby and the adult neomorph worked better given the context and how the rest of both films were done respectively) it was both a terrible idea on paper AND shot on camera in the Earth series imo.

Maybe Wendy needs the surname "8" for it to be convincing har har. But seriously what were they thinking? Or pardon me mentioning it, smoking? She might as well have named the Xenomorph something Disney-cute like Skittles, Pebbles or why not Fido (plushie in stores soon!) since it was practically a dog at the end. 

I hated the domesticated velociraptors in Jurassic World (and Chris Pratts silly gesture with his arms 🫷🤨🫸) and I despise a tame Xenomorph even more. What's next? Xenomorph therapy sessions? Absolutely ridiculous. 

I hope I don't come across as negative! 

We've been robbed.

Seriously though... this would have looked incredible.

I second Lobstermorph 🤣🤘 better than the cockroach we got lol

We've been robbed.

I like it, not too reminiscent of the classic designs and not too far off either. Gives me an impression of an "offshore" xenomorph imo, in a good sense. Lobstermorph anyone?

*crickets*

Oh ok.

This would have been much better than that cheap, plastic design we got.

I for one, would have MUCH preferred this design!

Yes 

Kirsh was repairing Isaac right before the showdown with Morrow. 
​
​I hope we get to see more of him in season 2. I really liked him, he was just a kid who wanted to be a scientist and impress his mentor. 
​
​I suspect we'll see him in season 2, but he'll have a different face/be played by a different actor. 
​
​I also do think there's still one silicon eating fly loose in the lab, laying eggs somewhere. It got out when Arthur opened the enclosure to examine Isaac's body, and you can see the POV shot from it's perspective when it follows Slightly to the vent.
​
​I hope Kirsh finishes repairing Isaac before those flies hatch, so they don't come out and eat the rest of him. 

You're absolutely right which is why I cringed at the whole storyline being based on the minds of children. Seemed like a cheap cop-out to excuse lazy writing and their poor / incoherent choices. I really don't understand the obsession or fascination with Peter Pan and the idea to adapt Alien to it. Bizarre direction...

Isaac was also about nine or ten years old to be fair lol. Kids are rarely going to make smart decisions 

Stunning! Very creepy also, hovering in the air and looking down...

By main characters I meant the predominant ones, I considered Isaac and Arthur more expendable and less developed characters. No real impact to their death. If anything it was kind of a relief Isaac bit the dust cause everything he did was idiotic, the consequences for his ineptitude was somewhat relieving but there were many opportunities where other main characters should have been taken out, imo. Majority of the characters minus Morrow and Kirsh bugged me 😂

Sounds like a bad acid trip 😂

Lmfao well...that's kind of hilarious. I mean... a sheep xeno with a human face for a butt would be doubly unnerving. 

There is indeed no explanation 

Because it does and I've never understood why lol. I don't think the script explains that

That is fair about Isaac. He was the first to truly try and break away from identity Kavalier forced on them. The look Kavalier gave Kirsh when he referred to him as Isaac instead of Tootles said a lot. Boy was starting to realize that he was losing control over the lost boys. 

Ridley already said that David's appearance was largely based on Wilson the Wonder Athlete. Check out his haircut as well as his attire.https://alien-covenant.com/topic/47261

@ninXeno426

Oh, good point about Arthur and Siberian. I did think Siberian was pretty cool, I was sad to see her go. 
​
​I'm interested to see what will happen with Arthur. I'm wondering if the T. Ocellus will have access to his knowledge and memories. 
​
​I didn't think Isaac was an undeveloped character, I thought he was interesting in his aspirations to become a scientist. I thought his death was pretty sad and I hope Kirsh manages to repair him. (You can see Kirsh working on repairing him before Morrow snuck up on him in the lab). 
​
​Much agreed about Wendy. She's a kid who's been thrown into a situation she never should have been in, and with Nibs getting essentially lobotomized, Wendy realized that none of them were safe. I don't blame her for turning against her captors (nor for her not being able to differentiate Prodigy foot soldiers from the higher-ups behind the scenes pulling the strings. 
​
​They're all equally a threat to her and her friends. What happened to the poor Prodigy soldiers is more Boy's fault than Wendy's.  

And you're absolutely right about Wendy. She's not evil. She's a child who grew up really quick. She realized Kavalier doesn't have her best interest at heart. Realizing how easy it is for their minds to be wiped, their identity destroyed was the wake up call she needed. The poor Prodigy soldiers don't necessarily deserve to be eviscerated by the xenomorph but its a price Prodigy now pays for playing at God. This is no different than the countless deaths Weyland Yutani has caused in their pursuit of the xenomorph. Everyone is expendable in the end to these companies far too concerned with their bigger picture. Every one is in that cell at the end because they underestimated what they created.

There was also Arthur. Isaac/Tootles to be fair was the least developed lost boy. Same goes with Siberian. Sure she'd been around since Ep1 but we hardly knew who she was by the time the plumbicare ate her. Arthur is the most significant season 1 death but his corpse has been reanimated by the ocellus. 

OOoh, great catch! 
​
​"It's simultaneously the least scary xenomorph and the most terrifying sheep in one bizarre package. "
​
​I'm gonna be real honest, I think a xenomorph sheep would be deeply unnerving. ...What would its wool be like?? Would its lanolin be acidic!?
​
​...Why does that picture of the xeno sheep look like it has a human face on its butt??
​
​

@Chris
​
"None of the main characters died... Literally everyone is still there at the end."
​
​What about Isaac?
​
I honestly really liked the whole series, even though the final episode left us in suspense. I don't feel like Wendy is evil, I feel like her actions are very reasonable given her circumstances. 
​
​I also utterly love the rivalry between Kirsh and Morrow. Hope we get to see a lot more of that. 

Xenomorph dropping from a street lamp. New fear unlocked. 

Didn't one of the flies get loose and wasn't recovered? There's a POV shot of it nearly following Slightly into the vent. 
​
​It didn't attack Kirsh or anything later, so I assume it was full from devouring Isaac, and is probably laying eggs somewhere in the lab (the same way a mosquito takes a bloodmeal in order to lay eggs). 
​
​Looking forward to the flies becoming a formidable threat to the synthetics in season 2.

I loved it form start to finish. But I knew most Alien fans wouldn't. Before I even knew a single thing about the series. Because we like griping. ;-)
