Episode 7 – Emergence Spoiler Discussions

This episode is crazy with the pet alien lol. I am not sure if it is too far out but its well executed and fun to watch. Our living earth is somewhat a mess so it could be good we have a new pet. 

And i hoe Wendy will give her pet a name. :p

I always said my line in the sand was pet Xenomorphs... lol I cringed so hard when they "trained" Raptors in the first Jurassic World. You can't humanize a monster designed to instill fear. There is absolutely no need for it and the execution... I dunno about you but my impression of the Xenomorph is completely different watching it act on Wendy's behalf. It's not scary, it's the same feeling I'd get watching a dog. The Alien once was a symbol of the perfect killing machine, unclouded by morality. Now... it's been reduced to a errand boy for a child robot. 

I couldn't possibly have said it better Chris. It's like if we watch Jason Voorhees go to therapy sessions and suddenly feel bad about what he's done and decides (and is allowed despite what he's done and is widely KNOWN as) to work as a preschool teacher. 

Ripley 8 (who knew xenomorphs better than anyone probably being a xeno hybrid) said it best herself:

"Roll over, play dead, heel? You can't teach it tricks" and

"It's a queen, she'll breed, you'll die"

I have to wonder if Wendy can really tame or train a xeno.  We've always thought of the xeno as a killing machine, but maybe there is more to it than that. The xeno has a huge head and maybe a brain of human or greater size. Maybe the xeno is smart enough to make a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" type analysis. Wendy pointed out that the xeno does not see her as food as it does with humans so perhaps it sees her as something of an equal. But maybe the xeno is playing her the way Morrow played Slightly into thinking its her friend.  The killing of the soldiers would not be inconsistent with the way we've seen xenos act before so many be it's just pretending to be following orders. 

Morrow says on communicator "target one failed, going to target 2 . Who is target 2?

I am assuming slightly is target 1.

Not sure the demo is a pet. I am thinking more another sibling or ally.

Xeno  not demo

Morrow says on communicator "target one failed, going to target 2 . Who is target 2?I am assuming slightly is target 1.

I assumed Target 1 meant Arthur and Target 2 was the Chestburster inside him, but I could be wrong.

Morrow says on communicator "target one failed, going to target 2 . Who is target 2?I am assuming slightly is target 1.

Wasn't Target 1 Arthur, or at least the little Xeno?

They didn't show up until after Marcy became Wendy. They are not siblings.
