I'd have rather have seen more experiments or observations (as its the name of the episode) of the 5 species, which would have increased the tension, rather than the deflation we got with this hour long pile of shite

Seeing the species getting to understand their surroundings, learning how to use the experiments to thier advantage, slowly becoming smarter than the humans/synths holding them, showing the plant/fly species attacking/killing animals, setting up potential future scenarios and plot points....tension, suspense, horror

The major problem is that weve now spent 4 hours out of 8 in this world, we still don't know how 2 of the species work at all, there's far too many hero characters trying to get screen time, there is no tension at all and the writers have turned the show into One Tree Hill or The O.C rather than a SciFi Horror Action based on 40 years of Alien lore

This means that we have at least 1 more terrible episode to come as not every character is in one place still, no Aliens have escaped containment properly, everything is still under control. Its boring. Its slow. Its not Aliens. Its not even E.T or Close Encounters

The next episode needs to hit the road running, kill off all but 3 or 4 characters within the first 15 minutes, have cat and mouse games with the various Aliens, have native animal species being used by the Aliens to spawn some interesting cross breeds...basically anything that doesn't include sitting around and talking about baseball, chocolate or names for their babies for 55 minutes

Exactly, this is how I felt, especially after ep 4. Too much stuff, even the nr. of other aliens, it should have been 1 or 2 species max.

I mean, we have the 2 main plots, well, maybe 3 now with Wendy talking to the Xeno?? Then we have all the synth chidlren subplots and other characters.
And on top of all these we need to have scenes with Boy reading Peter Pan and useless scenes like with the female doctor and her husband.

The next episode is ship flashback prior to the crash, we may get some gory stuff and some sabotage, it may be the best episode.
 
She can hear the xeno talking (because reasons), so that makes her a queen? And now the newborn now likes to be petted. Don't you see It's a kitten and it loves its mummy. It's not a soulless, clinical killer after all!

They don't have security manning the lab where they're doing an experiment whose results are completely unknown, and to top that they just keep it in a glass case?

This show is utterly retarded and as an added bonus this episode was unbelievably boring. I expect the next one to be entertaining while still being a cheap photocopy of the first movie.
 
Was hoping Wendy would give the chestburster his iconic little hat

Not much of consequence happened in episode 4. Hopefully it was all setup for payoffs later.

The guy playing that Morrow fella is really believable, particularly in his facial expressions. I'd expect him to get more high-profile work after this.

Redhead girl is gonna infest herself with an alien, isn't she.

That goat scene was dope.

All I want is shit to start going down. We have four more episodes
 
Why do i watch this stuff... The only things i like is Tim Olyphant's character and the cyborg guy (Morrow), the best thing in this episode was the scene with the sheep, more of that and less fucking talking about shit we don't care about, and now she's talking to the fucking xenos, what's next ? Will she try to fuck it when it's grown up ?
 
Morrow and Kirsh are the best, I wish they had more screen time.

On the other side of the spectrum, don't like Hermit, Wendy's brother, it's like he's constantly on Xanax or something.

The most interesting thing so far in this Alien show isn't the Xeno, it's the eyeball creature, I'm absolutely baffled at that.

Almost like they had an idea for an original sci-fi show but nobody would fund it without a recognizable IP. So they shoehorned the Alien franchise into it.

I can't wait for the eyball to start wreaking havoc. I think it will be that thing and the alien controlled by the girl (which is dumb) that it all comes down to. Techbro is definitely going to die.


The other thing that bothered me in 4 is when the alien burst out of the glass. Lab is pretty weak security for the experiments they are doing.
