While watching one of the early football games today, there was a commercial with this gal standing next to a sheep. I actually took a closer look at that sheep to see if it had an oversized eye.

The first thing I ever saw him in is a Netflix show called The End of the F***ing World and it's worth a watch, I really enjoyed that show.

Have to be honest, didn't really dig this one. I guess it was pretty much a set up for the finale?

Agree
Pretty average episode.

The eyeball alien is pretty incredible though. He changed the digestive system of a sheep whose feces is typically small black round marble looking to one of a cow and making a giant cow patty.

We'll see what the last episode brings, but overall, this show is about a 5/10 maybe 6/10 at best.

Had a lot of promise early on, and there was that one standout episode onboard the spaceship which was phenomenal. But overall, just too many stupid characters and stupid plot devices, and I still find most of the kids annoying and really wish they had been left out of the plot entirely.

I get some of you are disappointed in the overall story. Maybe I'm part of the problem but so long as the production value is high and I get some alien franchise I'm fairly happy. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a breaking bad masterpiece in this universe but here we are. Still hoping for multiple seasons and to possibly branch out into more movies.

I've always read in the lore about the potential of taming a xenomorph and never thought it was possible. I'm thrilled to actually see it and honestly it's pretty damn cool.

That little sucker also knows how to read human numbers.
I'd personally like to see it crawl into an elephant or maybe a killer whale & see what fun can happen.

Fun fact: Wendy is the daughter of Kyle Chandler IRL.

So many possibilities.

Do you think it has the ability to take over a synthetic?

It tried to take over the redhead at one point early in the series, but I don't see how it could actually do it.

Maybe it's not as smart as we think it is bc it went after the bat **** crazy one.

I think it probably could. Just because. 100% Boy Kavalier will have a "conversation" with it either after putting it in his eye himself or it getting into his eye. It'll be the thing that's "smarter" than him that he's been looking for. Title of the next episode is "The real monsters", so I think either we see the eyeball things start taking over or the Engineers show up.

Oh, that sounds like a sure fire way to take a giant crap on what has been a moderately good show. Would they still be on their mission to fix their mistake when their mistake crucified Christ (the driving force behind Prometheus)? If so, then they clearly suck since people are still on Earth 57 years later (or at least, they are in an orbital space station that Ripley wakes up in).

Engineers aren't canon in this world. This is an alternate timeline according to Hawley where Prometheus didn't happen.

Good to hear. I was not aware that Hawley said that.

I say that as someone who really liked Prometheus, but the Engineers showing up would be bad for continuity with what is already known.

It would have been in a daze because it found God.

Doesn't mean it can't happen

I was thinking he was going to force it on the lady scientist or Wendy's bro.

I agree that that is what he's thinking. But i don't think it's going to work out like he wants.

That's my bet. I also bet eyeball kills Boy,

Are they planning a Season 2 or going to wrap the story next week? I prefer they wrap it, but seems like a lot of ground to cover.

My biggest gripe remains "is this a xeno or a Predator" as ONE took out another armed and alert patrol last night, but what can you do...
Cinco Ranch Aggie

My first impression is that I hope they don't do more. They were already getting real close to blowing up the known canon by bringing a xenomorph to earth (they've done so in a way that I, as a long time Alien nut, can accept), but any real continuation of this story with the xenomorph just strains that.

But, if they spun it off with a focus more on the corporate wars/synth/Oculus thing, I think that could have some good potential. That would run the Prometheus risk of not actually having a xenomorph in it, but I do like the world that Hawley has created. And that Oculus thing is a very compelling alien critter in its own right.

Exactly how I feel, down to the letter.
