Watching the series unfold, knowing Weyland-Yutani and their synthetics, makes me wonder if Kirsh is actually a plant / double agent working for WY… I wonder if the Maginot crash trajectory was intentional to land in Prodigy territory, knowing Boy Cavalier would take the bait and try to steal whatever proprietary technology was on board? Delivering a payload that would take out the unsuspecting Prodigy corp from within.

Think about it – Morrow has a weapon that stuns Xenomorphs, meaning WY have means of containing them and neutralizing them if they get out. Prodigy is on an island, isolated from the rest of the world. An outbreak would be easy to contain.

The Maginot mission took 65 years.. yet only on the last sleep/wake cryo cycle an Alien “breaks containment and conveniently sends the ship on a collision course to Prodigy city?

WY also haven’t launched an offensive to recover their Trillion-dollar assets. They’re sitting by, letting a lone Cyborg play in Prodigy’s sandbox.

Pair that with how Kirsh was behaving around Boy and the Alien eggs in Episode 3, makes me think there’s a conspiracy at play here and Weyland-Yutani staged the whole thing to eliminate Prodigy from the running. Would also explain why there’s no mention of the corp in the future movies.

Kirsch is indeed interesting. I'm not sure if he's a double agent. Maybe he's more like David in Prometheus and wants to create his own destiny. For a second I thought he was going to let the boy "genius" get facehugged. I can see this playing out like the Jurassic Park movies where the monsters get loose and somebody (I'm not sure yet who) has to hit the old self destruct button to keep containment. That could explain the absence of Prodigy in the future.

I could see the scenario of Boy Kavalier pushing the boundaries with Kirsch to the point where the android plots a revenge. He didn't immediately warn and remove Boy when the xeno egg was opening as if he was hesitant? I don't know I could be wrong.

I totally saw Kirsh contemplating letting Boy get facehugged. You know he was thinking about it 😂 But instead used that as an opportunity to have unfettered access to the Alien eggs and other specimens, free to do his work without Boy or any humans getting too close. And in true Alien fashion, leaving the Android alone to tinker with Facehuggers never ends well for the Humans…
