My usual means of doing so has recently been shut down. Will probably get another method on the go at some point.

FX has been a consistent source of good TV the the past ~10 years or so and the creator Noah Hawley is one of the reasons (Fargo, and one of my top favorite shows of all time Legion), so Ill certainly check this one out.

Yeah, but there is no Disney Plus here. I could get round the region thing with a VPN, but cards from this country arent accepted by Disney Plus.

Vietnam, by the way.

Hawley has never made a bad show. If you haven't yet, you should definitely check out Fargo

First episode was ok. I dont have a grip on the show creators storytelling yet so I cant be too critical. Theres certain scenes that were flat or just kind of dumb tho. Especially when shes gearing up to save her brother and gets that makeshift sword. The fuck was that.

Im also getting sick of the Zuckerberg trope

i'd guess they wanted a badass female lead like ripley, thing is that ripley wasn't really a badass from the beginning. she spent most of the first movie scared like everyone else, but she was able to pull herself together long enough to get shit done.

in comparison you've got the MC from this who is trying to pull off the badass fearless cyborg. but she's what? mentally 11? think about how cringe you were when you were 11? mimicking wrestlers or anime characters or other dumb shit.

give it a bit of time to flesh out the plot.

Liked both episodes. Pleasantly surprised so far. Very curious where they are going with this in how it's "contained" since it happens before Alien or if there will be any sort of twist like lore dropped.

im gonna be real. Based on the name alone i really thought it was a documentary about alien life on earth like Life with narration from the likes of david attenborough or whatever.

didnt really register it was an alien prequel series until i read through topic xd

Kinda miss FX. Hate it all you want. I thought the era when they had The strain and Legion running was a good time for FX

I dont how you watch it now. I had Direct TV during that period

FX was bumping far before then. The Shield, Sons of Anarchy and Justified are all certified bangers and are a decade earlier. FX has generally always had really great tv.

I use Hulu

the alien itself was done pretty well. kind of wondering if they went back to putting a guy in an awkward suit for some of the shots like they did in alien, because it didn't look purely cgi. definitely goes more horror movie villain instead of predator because the alien really likes to fuck with people.

oh and that eye monster was pretty horrifying.

Yeah. It's cool how it can change from 1 large pupil to look like just a single eye to when it's out roaming has multiple ones and crazy vision.

I think thats the show creators usual vibe. Ive maintained that Legion is the closest well get to an arthouse Marvel/superhero show or movie.

Ehit was okay. But its taking forever for anything to happen. Im amazed that a xeno has somehow killed like 80 people already yet it still feels like zero plot development has happened.

Its too much like alien covenant in that it wants to be this more sophisticated philosophical debate about what is life. but at the end of the day all its doing is a basic psy101 class and shoehorning a murderous xeno because without that creature its not an alien product. And both sides are completely counterproductive to the other.

Id much rather have a story about a kid in an adult robot body that has nothing to do with xenomorphs. And I think the show wants to be that too.

The questionable thing for me is the choice of where it fits in the timeline.

Being set 2 years before the Nostromo means that whatever damage the Xenomorph and the other specimens are going to do will be largely contained as far as worldwide exposure goes. Limits the scope of what possibly can happen, which wouldn't have been the case if they'd set it after Ripley's time, but before WY going bust.

The WY executives in Aliens are able to play ignorant about the Xeno and the general idea of something hostile like it being in any planet humans have explored and evidently Ripley never heard about it despite the fact that a WY ship full of dangerous creatures crash landing into a tower block would ba a major historical event.

It also seems like the personalities/ maturity the Hybrids have now is where they're going to be stuck at if Kavelier is any indication. For a so called genius, the dude's got a lot to learn.

I'm probably crazy, because I thought the eye creature was gross as hell the first time I saw it, but later on, I thought it was cute.

I could do without those giant tick things, though.

Second episode has been great too. Not too keen on how quickly Morrow dispatched the Xeno but at least it escaped just as quick. Multiple eggs, though? Interesting. I just hope we get some lore dumps later about where they got them. Would explain why the company was so keen on going back to LV-426 in the first movie though.

I kinda like how that went. They have some containment abilities, but clearly they aren't perfect and even putting one of these things down doesn't take them out for long.

Not sure how long Morrow would have been able to keep it contained with the tools he had, but I like that it's kept vague whether or not it would have worked.

Finished the second episode. It's pretty great so far. My biggest gripe is with how overly lit the xenomorph is. But kinda makes up for it when they blend her into the environment.

Supposedly, drones are capable of laying an egg, but that was a few so I'm not sure if they're going to bring a queen into this.
