Was having Wendy communicate with the Xenomorph a good idea?

Now that Alien: Earth has concluded and this being the first week without an episode, many of us have had time to digest the season and its finale. I'm wondering how everyone felt about Wendy’s ability to communicate with the Xenomorph and if they think it was a good idea to implement it into the series.
Personally, I'm not opposed to Synthetics being able to communicate with Aliens. I enjoyed David's early attempts at communicating with the Aliens in Covenant, but I did not like the execution of Wendy’s abilities in Earth. I didn't like how she was able to command it or communicate to it so clearly regardless of distance between her and the Xenomorph. My main gripe is the relationship it established between her and the Xenomorph – submitting the Xeno beneath her, at her beck and call. I would have much rather the Xenomorph had played along with Wendy to get free and then go on a murderous rampage.
What do you guys think?
