Started watching Alien Earth.
Deep space vessel returns (crashes) to Earth carrying collected Alien life forms including a version of the original Alien itself with a couple of eggs. Who brought them back? Who now owns it? Can they even be controlled?
Doesn't follow some of the historical jump scare type of sci fi horror action you expect at every turn, but rather focuses on the type of scare new alien creatures can provide with the occasional jump scare thrown in. Is the Alien that we gave seen the worst of whats out there?and who doesn't like a little octopus?
4.5 Weyland Yutani's out of 5 hybrids so far
This guy?..we love this guy...
yeah that eyeball is going to give a whole new generation nightmares lol!
after yesterday's latest episode i think its about to get a whole lot worse.
(next week is the final btw)its a shame the final has come so soon, so many ways this could play out, I guess thats what future seasons will be for. Hopefully they ramp up the action for a finale though like they did with the latest episode

Agree, took a couple episodes for me to warm to it. Hoping they pull it off in the finale and we then dont have to wait 3 years for season 2..

Alien: Earth is set in the year 2120, placing it just two years before the original Alien film, which takes place in 2122. That makes it a direct prequel to Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic, and the first live-action installment in the franchise to be set primarily on Earth.
Here’s how it fits into the broader Alien timeline:
Title Year Set
Prometheus 2093
Alien: Covenant 2104
Alien: Earth 2120
Alien 2122
Aliens 2179
Alien 3 2180
Alien Resurrection 2379
The series explores the early spread of Xenomorphs on Earth, corporate power struggles, and introduces new hybrid synthetics—all while setting the stage for the doomed Nostromo mission. Think of it as the Rogue One of the Alien universe: gritty, tense, and deeply connected to the original lore. -

Someone needs to make a movie to round out the Prometheus trilogy. I want to know what happened to David

again the maker of Alien Earth has said hes not taking the events of movies outside of Alien and Aliens especially Prometheus and Covenant (and likely Romulus)
he calls it a parallel universe. -

tbf the Alien media universe covers nearly 50 years, and not just the movies listed above but you also have several video games and the Aliens vs Predator series too..
you have the 'originals' - Alien and Aliens
very troubled sequel - Alien 3
90s weird set a couple hundred years later sequel - Alien Resurrectionthen the 2 prequels - Prometheus and Covenant
a reboot set between Alien and Aliens - Romulus
now the tv show, not easy to tie all those together without some ret-conning and choosing to ignore several elements.

ok so i got curious
Romulus is a standalone story, but it’s deeply rooted in the franchise’s DNA—featuring classic elements like facehuggers, pulse rifles, and Weyland-Yutani’s sinister experiments. It even hints that the original Xenomorph from Alien was recovered and studied at the Romulus research station
so perhaps there is some tenuous link

Alien Ressurection was weird but good fun. Ron Perlman was awesome in it.
Alien 3 is comfortably the worst of the bunch. Just doesn’t work for me.
