Honest first impressions of Alien: Earth

There are a couple of other directors and writers responsible for the other episodes so fingers crossed it'll be a bit different ahead. It may need a shove in another direction for change, switch tracks and let's see what happens. Just give me one or two memorable episodes at least 😆🙏

They are indeed, and one of the few things I like about the series, especially the xenomorph. It's ultra vicious, lightning quick and the VFX crew and sound designer/s did a great job with the animations and heavy thumping sound effects respectively. Not a fan of the practical version though but that could've been fixed with shadows, more gloss and slime I guess. It reminds me of the runner from A3. 

The eye absorbing jellyfish thing was creepy but it's only there for quick shock value like those grasshopper things, unless they flesh them out with some backstory expeditions.

Hm I still can't edit my posts.

Because, that's not what I really liked about Alien, I liked the slow burn and psychological horror in Alien, not over the top gore. Also, I much prefer the Androids over the Xeno, I have for sometime. My biggest issue with this series is the two storylines don't seem to mesh well, imo. Feels like there's here's a disconnect. This amount of killing reminds me more of AVP, which isn't my fave, though I am looking forward to Predator: Badlands (because of the Androids, lol). Ironically, I enjoyed Alien Romulus more than this series so far (and before you say it, yes I know AR is violent).

Anyways, I don't hate the show, I have only seen 2 episodes, but right now the series is only a 6 or 7 out of 10 for me.

I’m in the process of fixing this, the function had been removed for members way back when we had a few bad apples go and edit all their existing posts with random garbage. I’ll allow the edits back shortly with better safeguards. Hoping to have it finished very soon!

I do enjoy the Xenomorph kill shots, the attack on the soldier outside the costume party was my personal favorite so far. The attacks are vicious as they should be and I applaud the show for keeping the Xenomorph aggressive and bloodthirsty. It certainly balances things out and keeps me eager to watch the next episode.

@Love SciFi; A singular login for the whole site is being worked on! Also, I am getting extra letters as well, Chris is aware of the issue and is working to resolve it.

I wonder if they are aiming for a more light-hearted approach for this show, as compared to those Alien films. The tone and tempo somewhat gives me Alien Resurrection vibe.

I understand, thanks for the info!

Funny you mention this - YES! I am currently working on a SSO (Single Sign On) functionality across all of our hosted communities. It’s quite an intricate system to build and security is a top priority. But the short answer is - yes this is coming - and soon! Been working on it behind the scenes for some time now. 😎

Yeah, I get Resurrection vibes as well. Not sure it’s intentional, given the pre-release interviews and sentiments but who knows.

​I think it's pretty good so far but I have some critiques. I agree a little less being introduced at once might have been a little better. And jumping around in time is something I rarely enjoy. The short foreshadowing bits where they showed things like the full Xenomorph I think were unnecessary. Biggest complaint: THEY KILLED THE ORANGE CAT! BLASPHEME!

oh yes, my favorite is the xenomorph moon walking by the door window

That was pretty good 😂 Although the rest of that sequence was pretty decent I will admit, the way the Xenomorph viciously broke into the room and tried to get to Morrow. I actually really liked that entire scene.

More of  a   back story of the Maginot ship ,  more info of there travels way before crashing back into earth   ,,,   more a story line . just hoping 

Ep.3 dropping tomorrow. So excited.
