Episode 4 Observation Spoiler Discussion

AdminEngineerAugust 26, 2025Just finished watching Alien: Earth episode 4 and once again – lots to unpack. First off, Wendy communicates with the Xenomorphs... She claims cause they "chose" her.
There's some serious malware running rampant in Nibs as well lol... Can't wait to see what she does next. Her random delusion of being pregnant seemed like an odd curve ball but it must have a deeper meaning.
The Chestburster scene at the end was cool, I'll admit the Chestburster design looked great but it communicating with Wendy... I dunno. I worry doing so may demystify the Xenomorph. In my opinion the Alien can't be related to, it doesn't have a Human presence. Why the push to humanize the Xenomorph? Part of me is intrigued, while part of me is concerned there won't be a deeper / insightful or interesting meaning for it.
Also – Boy Kavalier mentions not wanting a "Xenomorph" to explode from his chest if they returned the specimens to Yutani – but when was the Alien given the name Xenomorph in the show? I don't recall Boy learning that's what the name was... Anyone else catch that?
What did you think of Episode 4?
