Alien Theory

Last night I just wanted to watch the first two Alien: Earth episodes for fun, as a fan, and didn’t want to ruin it with any note-taking. But today I have been watching the first episode again, pausing, noting, and writing up a review. A video should likely be up tomorrow.

I absolutely loved Timothy Olyphant's little monologue about humanity's history of being food.

I was relieved to see they are still using the same combat helmets from Desert Storm in the future.

I thought it started off okay but quickly got reeeally weird 😂

Im nervous about watching it i was absolutely floored by your reading of the dark horse earth war stuff it doesn't seem like it follows that narrative !!

Was interesting as even though I was engrossed in the first two episodes I briefly thought "wonder what alien theory will make of this". Your part of the Alien world for me buddy

I enjoyed it but agree 100% about the xenomorph looking, “Off” I think that as a series we are seeing compromises in effects that are common in a transition from film to TV. The alien looked too…”dry” Not the best word but as close as I can get. In the AvsP movies I always felt that the Xenos looked to “wet” or “slimy” Again. The writing and the acting is strong and the charters and plot are compelling to me so I am fine with overlooking this as I am excited to see how the story unfolds.

It’s always a good day when you upload new content. Dude seriously you should really look into narrating audiobooks. Your voice is so cool.

I’m gutted, it felt like fan fiction and the SyFy network. Not seeing the gore in action and the fact that the alien would tear apart the room off screen in about 4 seconds and you would just see the aftermath was massively disappointing. I’ve always thought that the alien would do a frenzied attack but would spend at least a few seconds on each victim

I loved how bad the writing was and how dull and bland the characters were. Because if it's one thing the first two films lacked it was the terrible slop writing of Alien Romulus and this franchise needs more of that. Thanks for delivering Disney.

The alien looks like a bad AI. generated version of the OG design! It’s way to clean and smooth!

feels very much like Noah Hawley was not the man for the job.

This is one of the many reasons you are a true Alien fan. Courtesy for the fans that follow without posting spoiler vids at the very first opportunity. Your channel, insight and knowledge are a privilege to listen to (not to mention the most kick ass narration and editing we all as followers surely appreciate). Cant wait for your take on the first two episodes . I have watched the first episode two days ago and plan to watch the second tomorrow so the third will not be so much of a wait . Really feel like this will gather pace. Keep up the great work. You and your collaborators are the very best. Let's Rock!

Second episode irritated me to the max... way everyone reacts after they see alien massacre 20 people... 2 minutes after they watch videos, take souvenirs, laugh and walk around without any protection... Have any of the producers seen Alien/Aliens FFS??? We need that kind of atmosphere, fear...

Man I was waiting for ATs review and im glad I’m reading these comments. Obviously true fans of the Alien universe in here for the most part. I’m truly hoping this show pulls it together over the next 6 episodes somehow but there’s just too much weird none alien stuff like the Ice Age movie being such a heavy part cause the directors son loves it?

Interested to see what you think. I'm on the second episode now. First episode was so so for me. I'm just so nervous about it all.
