All I gotta say is that someone doesn't know the Texas Elementary Science Safety Standards.  Never eat or drink where you're doing an experiment.

And, yes.  Amazing episode.

bald asian guy as a major weirdo, research lady his grossly incompetent.  And yeah the captain and 1st officer boinking.

That ship was doomed long before they took on that alien cargo.


Teng gives off some creepy synth vibes as well, he for sure was a weirdo.

I remember Ridley Scott talking about cutting th e romance plot out of Alien between Dallas and Ripley because he didn’t want it interfering with the suspense and horror. Wonder if Hawley put it in here to switch it up. That woulda been almost the same roles, captain and warrant officer (executive officer in A:Earth)

Eyeball squid is an interesting take. So he/she had different experience during the sabotage

That crazy fucker gave the alien all it could handle and got away. 

The aliens movement was weird when its not hunting or killing. Its like it iss trying to figure out what its going to do the way it sniffs the air.

Twas the best hour-long Alien movie ever

Except for, once again, the xeno has a target dead to rights and then the victim somehow gets away at a slow jog. It’s such a lazy plot device and they could have done that better imo.

Was the eyeball trying to warn the scientist of the escaping bug?  Gonna be interesting if the eyeball race ends up being good or helpful.

I think so. It banged on the glass when the space tick was getting free. Then the lil bastard freed itself to brain squid a human and fight the alien. It called to the alien when it was in the mechanics brain.

Its got a plan and i cant wait to see what it is.

Apparently Hawley stated on the official show podcast that the eyeball was trying to facilitate the ticks’ escape by distracting the scientist.

Great episode. Any minor qualms are greatly outweighed by all the awesome shit in this show. I’m pleasantly surprised at how well executed it has been, and I had high hopes. Fun stuff.

So I wondered which it was doing. Which I originally mentioned it was a man interesting take.

Additionally we commented was it trying to attack or protect Zaverni? And then it called to the Xeno for a fight…

It’s gonna be real interesting to see how it inserts itself(pun intended) going forward

Eyeball squid is my favorite character.

Eyeball Squid absolutely fucks. 

However, these sick mother fucking writers combined a god damn tick, leech and fluke worm to come up with the creepiest crawling, god damn monster that hits on every fucking one of my hard core twitch icks in the Vampire Tick-Leech-Worm. The Count TiLeeWorm of evil that I'm sure were tribal monsters of our ancestors. Fuck those writers!!! 

Also, yeah, that ship could have been a geology freighter with rocks and it was never making it home with all the god damn dysfunction. 

I feel ripped off I didn't get to see the conclusion of Squid Billy vs Xenomorph but otherwise what this show keeps on raising the stakes with each episode. Great shit.

Not at all! Eyeball Squid is an evil mother fucker and was HELPING TiLeeWorm by distracting the scientist so it could get out. She got careless and quickly put Eyeball Squid back without locking him in so he could do his tango escape. 

Bro was playing chess against a bunch of regards who struggled with checkers.

Sorry missed this prior to my response. But yeah and it helped it too as she had to get back to that work. Brilliant!

That was my favorite episode yet because I like that plot line the most. No dumb kids, but still plenty of incompetent idiots on this space crew. I guess that’s our future when billionaire oligarchs run the world. Hashtag team Morrow, I hope he gets to kill the boy genius. 

The rock n roll credits music doesn’t do it for me. It’s all songs I like but it doesn’t fit with the vibe of the show. 

I watched that PBS aircraft carrier documentary almost 20 years ago when I was getting ready to go to OCS for the USMC because they offered a flight contract if you could pass all the tests, and I'm not convinced that things are any different today.
