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.

Just watched the first two episodes tonight. Overall I really like it but there are some glaring plot holes. Like, (spoilers sorry I am on mobile and I don’t know how to format it manually) why did they send the hybrids to the crash site unarmed? Like wtf are they even supposed to do? And also why did the medic leave the assault rifle behind after being attacked by the alien AND the synth? Is he stupid?

But other than details like that, I dig the vibe and look forward to watching the rest.

Rifle I think was out of ammo and I think he didn't want to go looking for the body to find more.

But yeah they show the synths jumping down cliffs and running a thousand miles an hour but they just kinda saunter around? Like can't they just sprint up the stairs? Or outright jump? Not having weapons I can understand as them thinking they're going in as emergency responders, not walking into the den of an invasive species that has acid blood and dismembers people like it's nothing.

The soldiers initially sent are going in to steal and aren't sure how any survivors aboard will react. By the time the kids get there, they've confirmed there's no survivors (that they know of).
