FIRST TIME WATCHING: Alien: Earth S1E2

Natalie is like - Morrow never leaves anyone alive but we just saw him leave the two maines alive - and then she says I've never seen an Alien snatch someone and not kill them when that's exactly what happened to Newt in Aliens. Sometimes the Alien kills, sometimes it doesn't. That's just what happens - even in the original Alien, Tom Skerrit we know was not killed. He was cocooned. Same with Burke and Hudson and Apone and many others - the Alien sometimes kills when it senses danger and other times, takes a keepsake! This show is amazing. Nat's reactions are amazing. I get that sometimes while watching shows it's easy to forget little things like that so no hard feelings. lol

Since everyone else is very helpfully sharing the difference of the various technological folks in the show that we've seen. I do want to say, about Marrow, that while we did see him not help the lady on the ship, he didn't purposefully kill the two soldiers who were killed by the horrible alien ticks. Not to say he *wouldn't* have left them there, even knowing that they were, but him not killing Hermit and leaving him stunned follows what he's been doing since the ship crashed. Also, for Kirsh. Wendy just left to go after her brother when she wouldn't stop with him saying her name. Hence him telling Slightly to go with her so she'd not be alone. He never cared about her personal mission. He just didn't stop her when she ran off to do it.

Important to note that: Cyborgs = Humans, with cybernetic enhancements Synthetics = Full robot Morrow is a cyborg, still partly human with emotions. Kirsh is Synthetic

I vote for Predator Killer of Killers to be added to the next movie poll, I know I’ve said this before but ima say it again haha, since the new Predator: Badlands movie is gonna come out soon and she’s probably gonna get a lot of requests to watch that one at some point, also since she’s watching the new alien show might well keep up with the AVP theme and add it to the poll. And I know it’s Natmare season, so people would rather horror movies be on the poll but it’s a light gorey movie if ya think about it, which one could some what consider horror-ish aha

Some clarification on the different types of robot people in this show and/or the Alien universe in general: Synth = fully AI robot humanoid, like Ash in Alien or Bishop in Aliens, or now Kirsch in Alien: Earth. Has always been a robot, never been a human. Cyborg = Human with robotic upgrades, like Morrow and his robot arm. He is and always has been human. Hybrid = Human consciousness implanted into synthetic humanoid robot, so The Lost Boys i.e., Wendy, Smee, etc. Were humans who are now “something else” and never before existed until this show. I won’t say anymore of my feelings on the hybrids because that might be a spoiler, but at the very least, it’s an interesting continuation of the Alien universe lore.

Hey Nat, great reaction. I'm not sure how much of this franchise you've seen, but the xenomorphs do often take people without killing them. In the second movie of the franchise, "Aliens", several people including Newt are taken and not killed. It seems they sort of cocoon them so they can be vessels for the facehuggers to plant a "seed" in. I will concede plot armor does seem to be a factor in which ones they choose to do this with though.

Just to clarify one thing… don’t know if you address it in this one cuz I haven’t hit play yet. Morrow is a cyborg meaning he’s mostly human with a few upgrades including his robotic arm. When you talked about him escaping it seemed like you thought he was doing that cuz he’s a machine. He’s just a cold dude. Kirsch, Timothy Olyphant’s character is a synthetic, a complete android AI. Like Bishop or Rook or Ash. I don’t think you caught that cuz you called him an adult. But he’s not really. Maybe you’ll address all this in this video and this comment is dumb but just wanted to set that straight so you know who is what.

Happy Tuesday Nat. Thanks for sorting out yesterday's video. I'll dive into this one once I've caught up with that. Take care Nat 😊
