Anyone watching Alien: Earth? (hexbear.net)

So far it is really nailing the vibes of the first two films. It takes place a couple decades prior to Alien and one of the new plot points is that an up and coming rival corpo city state to Wayland Yutani is porting the minds of terminally ill and disabled children into synthetic bodies.

The cast does a phenomenal job of portraying kids in adult bodies with their mannerisms, humor, and body language and it has all the clicky clack retro sci fi the series is known for an I fucking love it so far.

Definitely a mix of both films in terms of themes and action. There is clearly some Aliens feel with some military grunts investigating a crashed ship and also some Alien vibes with the slow burn of the first couple episodes. I highly recommend for fans of either of those movies.

It's better than Romulus. One of my favorite subtle details is what I assume is an earlier version of the M41A pulse rifle that looks reminiscent of the difference between the M16A1 vs the M16A2 without the underbarrel grenade launcher from Aliens.

yeah and there was a short barrel version too!

Also it's a bullpup and apparently built off the Steyr AUG

bullpups get a lot of crap but I think it does make total sense for a futuristic electrically fired caseless sci fi gun to be bullpup
