Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) herself has spoken – she loves Alien: Earth! While speaking to PEOPLE Magazine about her upcoming film Dust Bunny, Weaver touched on Alien: Earth and expressed her enthusiasm and appreciation for Noah Hawley's Alien TV series – praising the show's effort in broadening the scope of the Alien franchise. She loves the Hybrid / Cyborg / Synthetic story arcs, the new species of aliens introduced and the corporate greed component present throughout the show:
I'm really enjoying it. What I admire about it is the scope is so much more profound than just an Alien movie. It's about our world and what's dominating the world in 100 years, and to me it's right on.
The interview continues on:
Weaver praised Hawley's concept of the "new creatures based on children," referencing the hybrids, synthetic beings with human consciousness, like Sydney Chandler's Wendy.
"All these things are so remarkable and they're just building and building and building," she said.
"And the monsters that he's also bringing in are just terrifying. It's like, we don't have enough problems with the alien, we need 50 more," Weaver gushed. "I can't believe I'm watching TV."
