Both serve as models for how to craft a horror science fiction film. They have stood the test of time, being over 40 years old and still making audiences scream in their seats, no matter how many times I watch the original and the sequel. I love them more with each viewing. I was not a fan of <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Alien: Romulus\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt18412256\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_alien%2520rom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alien: Romulus<\/a>; I had many issues with that film. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">So, when I heard about a potential series called Alien: Earth, I was intrigued but honestly a little skeptical. My skepticism stemmed from wondering how the writer or writers tackled the issue of Earth, since Earth was not in either of the two movies. And I asked how they would expand a simple Xenomorph hunt into a whole series. I know it took about five years or more to develop this series, due to the writer\u2019s strike and the actor\u2019s strike, which also played a role in the delay of the series. I was excited to get into Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con. Naturally, I was optimistic.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"wpfp_0a4caadca2f2369ad4150c825ebd5b0e\" data-item=\"{&quot;sources&quot;:[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=FqIi3N9dusk&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;video\\\/youtube&quot;}],&quot;id&quot;:&quot;600&quot;,&quot;splash&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/FqIi3N9dusk\\\/maxresdefault.jpg#auto&quot;}\" class=\"flowplayer no-brand is-splash is-paused skin-slim no-svg fp-slim fp-edgy is-youtube\" data-fv-embed=\"https:\/\/www.wormholeriders.com\/blog\/2025\/08\/18\/alien-earth-fx-network-and-hulus-new-series-neverland-and-mr-october-trick-treat-or-train-wreck\/fvp-609\/\" style=\"position:relative;

I was not too pleased with what came out, but then again, I am such a purist when it comes to the original two films. This post will contain the first two episodes, not a complete summary, but the highlights, including my pros and cons.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I will say that the aesthetics started beautifully in the very first episode. It mirrored the scope of *Alien* and *Aliens*, particularly in its depiction of Mother. However, one thing that bothers me is that the ship is still too bright; there was a kind of haze in the lighting of both films that I feel is missing here. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Additionally, I find it troubling that Neverland is involved and that <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Peter Pan\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0046183\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_2_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_Peter%2520Pan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peter Pan<\/a> is somehow engaged in the story.

I like the initial scenery, where you see the ship, followed by flashes of the alien, and then you hear the music, which always plays a significant role in both movies. Butthis Alien: Earth has modern music, which I always dislike when it is used in a context that does not seem to fit.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">The year is 2120.

The next thing you see after that is the opening of the sleep chambers, just like in the original film. There are parts of Alien: Earth that I will give them credit for because they stay true to the aesthetic of the original two, which I find crucial. If you are going to create a series based on two iconic, historic, groundbreaking movies, you should at least maintain their look to avoid feeling too jarring or disconnected from the series. It states that the distance to Earth is 805,000,000 miles.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40698\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40698\" style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnetworks.com\/shows\/alien-earth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-40698\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Sydney-Chandler-as-Wendy-420x560.jpg\" alt=\"Alien Earth Sydney Chandler as Wendy\" width=\"420\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Sydney-Chandler-as-Wendy-420x560.jpg 420w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Sydney-Chandler-as-Wendy-180x240.jpg 180w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Sydney-Chandler-as-Wendy-144x192.jpg 144w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Sydney-Chandler-as-Wendy.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40698\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy FX Networks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">The other thing I was questioning, not necessarily disappointed about, was the main character, Wendy (<a title=\"Click here to learn more about Sydney Chandler\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm7584896\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_0_nm_8_in_0_q_sy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sydney Chandler<\/a>).

All their talking and eating together\u2014which is precisely what happens in Alien\u2014is what I appreciate about both films. To me, that is an homage because that is what I expect to see in everything from now on. I am still so disheartened that it went down that Disney rabbit hole. They included Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, and Neverland, which has nothing to do with Alien, Aliens, the Xenomorph, or any of that. It is just another way, I guess, of bringing Disney into the fold when it doesn\u2019t need to be there.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40701\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40701\" style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnetworks.com\/shows\/alien-earth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-40701\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Babou-Ceesay-as-android-Morrow-420x214.jpg\" alt=\"Alien Earth Babou Ceesay as android Morrow\" width=\"420\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Babou-Ceesay-as-android-Morrow-420x214.jpg 420w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Babou-Ceesay-as-android-Morrow-320x163.jpg 320w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Babou-Ceesay-as-android-Morrow-256x130.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Babou-Ceesay-as-android-Morrow-768x391.jpg 768w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Babou-Ceesay-as-android-Morrow.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40701\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy FX Networks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Morrow (<a title=\"Click here to learn more about Babou Ceesay\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm1959501\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_6_nm_2_in_0_q_bab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Babou Ceesay<\/a>) is the security officer and resident cyborg.

The wonderful thing about the two movies is that we don\u2019t know much about the characters; we only know their names. We know extraordinarily little, if anything, about their backgrounds. The only way to learn more would be if you watched the director&#8217;s cut of Aliens. For example, we know Sigourney Weaver\u2019s character Ripley had a deceased daughter because Ripley had been floating in space for 57 years. That\u2019s why it\u2019s called Alien. It has nothing to do with the humans being just part of the story. And yes, they play a part, but the central focus is the aliens, which is the whole point. It\u2019s the suspense, it\u2019s the fear, and it\u2019s the anticipation of what is to come.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40691\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40691\" style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnetworks.com\/shows\/alien-earth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-40691\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-12-Alien-Earth-poster8-420x525.jpg\" alt=\"2025-08-12 Alien Earth poster8\" width=\"420\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-12-Alien-Earth-poster8-420x525.jpg 420w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-12-Alien-Earth-poster8-192x240.jpg 192w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-12-Alien-Earth-poster8-154x192.jpg 154w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-12-Alien-Earth-poster8.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40691\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy FX Networks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Like any science fiction show, it features other creatures as well. What they are experimenting with or what they&#8217;ve discovered isn&#8217;t always clear. However, face huggers and xenomorphs are the main monsters. The specimens are the mission, as Morrow said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I think one of the key differences for me is that now we\u2019re dealing with Earth, which is much larger and more expansive. In both films, we dealt with a much smaller space. We were on a spaceship, so there was nowhere for them to go. I believe that made the suspense feel much more immediate: they were trapped. They couldn\u2019t go anywhere. They could only launch out of the spaceship, but even then, Ripley was in space for 57 years. As they said, <em>&#8220;You\u2019re damn lucky we found you. You could have been wandering out there forever.&#8221;<\/em> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">That\u2019s what I love about both films, the sense of isolation, of solitude. You\u2019re in space, with nothing around you. On Earth, it\u2019s a different story. So, again, I keep coming back to the two films because you can\u2019t compare them, as they are the templates for every Alien franchise film, from the very first to this current version. There\u2019s no way you can avoid comparing them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40704\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40704\" style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnetworks.com\/shows\/alien-earth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-40704\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Timothy-Olyphant-as-Kirsh-420x560.jpg\" alt=\"Alien Earth Timothy Olyphant as Kirsh\" width=\"420\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Timothy-Olyphant-as-Kirsh-420x560.jpg 420w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Timothy-Olyphant-as-Kirsh-180x240.jpg 180w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Timothy-Olyphant-as-Kirsh-144x192.jpg 144w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Timothy-Olyphant-as-Kirsh.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40704\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy FX Networks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">And now we\u2019re on Earth.

He\u2019s such an outstanding actor and has appeared in several iconic series before. He\u2019s just an exceptional actor overall. I hope that Kirsh will be a character to sink his teeth into.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Within the Neverland research island, experiments involve mind transference from a dying host to a new one, transferring a dying child&#8217;s mind to an adult body. I have no idea what this has to do with aliens in general. This part makes no sense to me and doesn\u2019t fit with the rest of the story. It feels like a side story the writer added without considering the main plot. Also, the fact that the character\u2019s name is Wendy, which relates to Peter Pan, and the mention of the Head of Prodigy\u2014it&#8217;s like Peter Pan; he never wants to grow old because he\u2019s the youngest trillionaire ever, walking around in linen suits and barefoot. It just makes no sense to me. The mind transference, or consciousness transference, is from a human to a synthetic, which again makes absolutely no sense.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40706\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40706\" style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnetworks.com\/shows\/alien-earth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-40706\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-13-Alien-Earth-Fear-Takes-New-Forms-420x525.jpg\" alt=\"2025-08-13 Alien Earth Fear Takes New Forms\" width=\"420\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-13-Alien-Earth-Fear-Takes-New-Forms-420x525.jpg 420w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-13-Alien-Earth-Fear-Takes-New-Forms-192x240.jpg 192w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-13-Alien-Earth-Fear-Takes-New-Forms-154x192.jpg 154w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-13-Alien-Earth-Fear-Takes-New-Forms.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40706\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy FX Networks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Disney has its hands in this episode by showing not only parts of Peter Pan but also <a title=\"Click here to learn about Ice Age\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0268380\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_Ice%2520a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ice Age<\/a>. I am still baffled by how this relates to the main point of the series. My frustration lies in the fact that, again, they are not sticking with the canon that has long been established.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">That\u2019s also something I\u2019m a little confused about: they gave the main character the name Wendy. Who\u2019s now the synth? The consciousness of a girl who has a brother. So, Wendy, among all the alien stuff, is going to find her brother. Which I guess makes sense, but it doesn\u2019t, because again, it has nothing to do with the aliens. And this is, I think, my biggest problem with this: when it\u2019s called &#8216;Alien: Earth,&#8217; show us aliens. I don\u2019t care about the backstory of the synthetics or humans. Just show me the aliens because that is what it&#8217;s all about. They are characters, yes, and yes, I semi-care about them because they\u2019re there to fight the aliens, but that\u2019s the surface level; I don\u2019t care about it. At least I don\u2019t care about their backstory. All I want to see is them fighting the aliens.

So, it\u2019s a lot of playing God and preventing someone or something from dying. They keep it alive by transferring human consciousness into a synthetic body. The problem with that is, as Kirsh mentioned, there are no emotions. There\u2019s no anger, no pain, no happiness, nothing. Because it\u2019s all gone, since they are no longer human, yet they retain a human mind, which I think is a recipe for disaster. <em>\u201cIf I\u2019m not human, what am I?

That I love; I\u2019m back to the place where we should be and never leave, however what bothers me about this is that it\u2019s too bright. Meaning it\u2019s not dark enough. It\u2019s not mysterious enough. It\u2019s not creepy enough; it needs to have that element of suspense, which it lacks. It almost looks like you are on a ride at Disneyland because of the lights and sounds. It doesn\u2019t feel urgent enough. When Morrow is sitting at the Mother keyboard and is typing in commands or information, Mother is feeding it back to him. That part I love because that is very much part of what I know and love about the two films. And that feels authentic, that feels real. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">One of the other crew members is banging on the door to Mother&#8217;s room and asks Morrow to let her in. On the screen, it says crew status. And he gets up and looks at her and doesn\u2019t let her in. And to me, the crew member her reaction doesn\u2019t feel genuine because there\u2019s a xenomorph after you, and you\u2019re not panicking. I don\u2019t know, that doesn\u2019t seem very authentic to me.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40709\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40709\" style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnetworks.com\/shows\/alien-earth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-40709\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-S1x01-Kirsh-finds-the-aliens-420x280.jpg\" alt=\"Alien Earth S1x01 Kirsh finds the aliens\" width=\"420\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-S1x01-Kirsh-finds-the-aliens-420x280.jpg 420w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-S1x01-Kirsh-finds-the-aliens-320x213.jpg 320w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-S1x01-Kirsh-finds-the-aliens-256x171.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-S1x01-Kirsh-finds-the-aliens-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-S1x01-Kirsh-finds-the-aliens-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-S1x01-Kirsh-finds-the-aliens.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40709\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy FX Networks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Not even 30 minutes in, we see the Xenomorph pass by the glass of the door And I hate to say this, but it looks fake. And again, my problem is that you see the Xenomorph fully, and that\u2019s what bothers me because, with the first two films, we don\u2019t ever see the Xenomorph completely until the last 15 minutes or so of the film. We only see it in shadow, silhouette, or partially; we barely see it fully, which adds to the creepiness and terrifying nature of it, along with the terror and scariness of how it makes you feel. It just slowly walked by the window where Morrow was, and it almost looked fake. That whole sequence of it walking by just seemed ridiculous. Morrow writes on the board. \u201cCrew status: crew dead. A collision course with Earth is unavoidable.\u201d \u201cContainment of specimens is priority one.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Seeing the alien shouldn&#8217;t happen within the first 30 minutes. This is the first episode, and there are 35 minutes left. This is precisely what I\u2019m talking about. You don\u2019t see the alien until, or in full view, until 15 minutes before the end of the movie in both films, if I remember correctly. And that\u2019s what makes it so suspenseful, so horrifying, so terrifying, and so fear-inducing \u2014 because you don\u2019t know where it is, what it looks like, how big it is, or anything else. I guess we do have some idea of what it looks like, but the fact that it also moves very humanly, almost threw me off a little bit. It\u2019s not as alien as I would expect it to be.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Mr. October:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40710\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40710\" style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnetworks.com\/shows\/alien-earth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-40710\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Wreckage-at-San-Diego-Comic-Con-2025-420x236.jpg\" alt=\"Alien Earth Wreckage at San Diego Comic-Con 2025\" width=\"420\" height=\"236\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Wreckage-at-San-Diego-Comic-Con-2025-420x236.jpg 420w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Wreckage-at-San-Diego-Comic-Con-2025-320x180.jpg 320w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Wreckage-at-San-Diego-Comic-Con-2025-256x144.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Wreckage-at-San-Diego-Comic-Con-2025-768x432.jpg 768w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Wreckage-at-San-Diego-Comic-Con-2025.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40710\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy FX Networks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">We are in a place called New Siam, Prodigy City.

These synthetics have zero training in search and rescue. They are not Marines like they were in the second movie. So, I find it perplexing why you would send these children into that situation, because that is what their mental state is geared toward. It is a life-or-death situation\u2014literal life and death\u2014with no training and no experience. It is very strange to me that this even happened, which strains my suspension of disbelief. Does not make any sense. I understand that in the second movie in *Aliens*, Ripley herself says, &#8220;I\u2019m not a soldier.&#8221; Still, she has been in enough scenarios where she&#8217;s at least a flight officer and knows her way around, and she learns a bit from Hicks (<a title=\"Click here to learn more about Michael Biehn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000299\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_1_nm_7_in_0_q_Michael%2520Bi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michael Biehn<\/a>) and the others are around Marines enough to pick things up.

They&#8217;re happy to see that because they know those are dangerous. I\u2019m sorry, I know that\u2019s CGI, but the face huggers and the other creatures look fake. That\u2019s another thing: as I\u2019ve mentioned, the fact that they spent so much money on this and couldn\u2019t use practical effects is inexcusable, as far as I\u2019m concerned.

The context is interesting since that\u2019s what the Xenomorphs use humans for \u2014 a host to feed and grow. I have no idea why they\u2019re playing rock music at the end credits, but that\u2019s the end of episode 1. Again, I didn\u2019t like it, and watching it a second time didn\u2019t change my opinion.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Mr. October is the title of episode 2, written by Noah Hawley and directed by <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Dana Gonzales\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0327466\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_0_nm_8_in_0_q_Dana%2520Gonza\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dana Gonzales<\/a>. In episode 2, we first see a couple of the rescue team members and Joe going through the wreckage. He thinks he sees something behind him, the viewer sees the end of the tail, and they\u2019re starting to make the creepy vibe of the original.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">As the team enters the med lab, Joe notices that the suffocation some of them suffered is unusual. He observes the blue lips and mentions that it was a toxin. Joe then notices a screen that shows a picture of the inside of one of the victims, looking like a foreign object inside him. He says it&#8217;s got a code 1562. When one of the other team members asks why 1562 is so bad, Joe says, &#8220;Alien.&#8221; The interesting thing to me, though, is that he says it nonchalantly, like there\u2019s no emotion, there\u2019s no urgency to it. How is that normal? Maybe seeing a foreign object, an alien inside a human body, is normal at that point, but there doesn\u2019t seem to be any urgency on his part for it. So, it was very odd to see that. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I believe the problem with this series is that it focuses too much on the backstory of the humans, cyborgs, synthetics. Again, this is just my opinion as a viewer\u2014I don\u2019t care about the backstory. That is not important to me. What matters are the aliens and how the humans\/synths\/cyborgs interact with them. That\u2019s my primary concern. I couldn&#8217;t care less about Prodigy, Neverland, or any of this. As a fan of the two greatest science fiction horror films of all time, I care about what those movies are about. The other movies don\u2019t focus on the back stories of the humans involved. Again, this is just my opinion. If you are going to make a movie about an alien Earth, then show aliens on Earth. Could you show me the aliens? That\u2019s what I want to see.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40718\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40718\" style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnetworks.com\/shows\/alien-earth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-40718\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Samuel-Blenkin-as-Boy-Kavalier-420x483.jpg\" alt=\"Alien Earth Samuel Blenkin as Boy Kavalier\" width=\"420\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Samuel-Blenkin-as-Boy-Kavalier-420x483.jpg 420w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Samuel-Blenkin-as-Boy-Kavalier-209x240.jpg 209w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Samuel-Blenkin-as-Boy-Kavalier-167x192.jpg 167w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Samuel-Blenkin-as-Boy-Kavalier-768x883.jpg 768w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-Samuel-Blenkin-as-Boy-Kavalier.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40718\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy FX Networks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Boy Kavalier raises a good point about AI. He says that with artificial intelligence, we build a machine, and then that machine creates an even better one, and so on, surpassing humans. His idea is about unlocking human potential. And we\u2019ll see what they built before the machines destroy everything.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Dame Sylvia (<a title=\"Click here to learn more about Essie Davis\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0204583\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_0_nm_8_in_0_q_Essie%2520\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Essie Davis<\/a>) brought up a good point. She said, \u201cWe did something that no one else did\u2014we ended death. But we must give them a quality of life.\u201d Again, it all comes back to the hubris of man thinking they\u2019re God, that they can stop the natural progression of life and death, which they can\u2019t. There\u2019s nothing on this planet that\u2019s truly immortal. Maybe a jellyfish, but even then, it regenerates itself, so technically, it\u2019s not. Anyway, one thing that always bothers me is when people try to go against nature. The human body is meant to grow old and then die. I mean, if we were to keep everybody alive and keep regenerating repeatedly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40720\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40720\" style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnetworks.com\/shows\/alien-earth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-40720\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-S1x02-The-eyeball-cat-420x210.jpg\" alt=\"Alien Earth S1x02 The eyeball cat\" width=\"420\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-S1x02-The-eyeball-cat-420x210.jpg 420w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-S1x02-The-eyeball-cat-320x160.jpg 320w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-S1x02-The-eyeball-cat-256x128.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-S1x02-The-eyeball-cat-768x384.jpg 768w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-S1x02-The-eyeball-cat.jpg 825w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40720\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy FX Networks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">And of course, they have a cat.

There are elements of the story that are nonsensical and don\u2019t serve the story. I wanted a bit more alien action, giving me the harrowing terror of the original films. By showing us the alien fully, the mystery is taken away.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">My issue also lies with the actors themselves. When the humans see the Xenomorph, there is no fear in their eyes. It is as if it\u2019s normal to see something like that. The actors show no emotion in the scenes with the alien. The story itself is complicated and again doesn\u2019t serve the purpose of the series. Especially when Joe finds out that Marcy, his little sister who died, has now taken over Wendy\u2019s body, he does not react to that news. He may be in shock from hearing that, but when he mentions he went to her funeral, again, no emotion. Even if he were in shock, his body would show it. That\u2019s the power of a camera; it captures every nuance, every subtle movement. And again, modern rock music is used in this series as episode two ends.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40723\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40723\" style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnetworks.com\/shows\/alien-earth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-40723\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-cast-and-creators-420x275.jpg\" alt=\"Alien Earth cast and creators\" width=\"420\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-cast-and-creators-420x275.jpg 420w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-cast-and-creators-320x210.jpg 320w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-cast-and-creators-256x168.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-cast-and-creators-768x503.jpg 768w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Alien-Earth-cast-and-creators.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40723\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy FX Networks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I think they could have used the money, the reported $250 million or however much they invested in this for a better series. The money could have gone toward practical effects. One of the many reasons the original two movies work so well is that the aliens are practical, not CGI. They look real and terrifying, especially the Queen alien in the sequel. Please understand that this is just my opinion about this series. I don\u2019t want that to stop you from watching and enjoying it. It\u2019s just not for me. I will always go back to the original two because I consider them masterpieces. They are the templates\u2014things that should be studied, looked at, and emulated.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I\u2019m overly critical of movies or franchises I love, those I know a lot about, and those I hold dear to my heart and in my movie-loving mind. This series isn&#8217;t very impressive at best. I may be a complete and utter snob about this kind of thing, but for me, as someone who loves film, original material, practical effects, acting, directing, and writing, this series is not.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I do hope that you do watch it and make your own decision about it. Please do not let my strong opinions keep you from enjoying this series.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"wpfp_83a0f4e9d42288ef42a226bd45fca965\" data-item=\"{&quot;sources&quot;:[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=GvN153dN7rE&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;video\\\/youtube&quot;}],&quot;id&quot;:&quot;602&quot;,&quot;splash&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/GvN153dN7rE\\\/maxresdefault.jpg#auto&quot;}\" class=\"flowplayer no-brand is-splash is-paused skin-slim no-svg fp-slim fp-edgy is-youtube\" data-fv-embed=\"https:\/\/www.wormholeriders.com\/blog\/2025\/08\/18\/alien-earth-fx-network-and-hulus-new-series-neverland-and-mr-october-trick-treat-or-train-wreck\/fvp-611\/\" style=\"position:relative; max-width: 720px; max-height: 420px; \" data-ratio=\"0.5833\" data-engine=\"fvyoutube\">\n\t<div class=\"fp-ratio\" style=\"padding-top: 58.33%\"><\/div>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fp-splash\" alt=\"video\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/GvN153dN7rE\/maxresdefault.jpg#auto\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;width:100%\" \/>\n\t<div class=\"fp-ui\"><noscript>Please enable JavaScript<\/noscript><div class=\"fp-play fp-visible\"><svg class=\"fp-play-sharp-fill\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 100 100\"><defs><style>.fp-color-play{opacity:0.65;}.controlbutton{fill:#fff;}<\/style><\/defs><title>play-sharp-fill<\/title><path class=\"fp-color-play\" d=\"M49.9217-.078a50,50,0,1,0,50,50A50.0564,50.0564,0,0,0,49.9217-.078Z\"\/><polygon class=\"controlbutton\" points=\"73.601 50 37.968 70.573 37.968 29.427 73.601 50\" filter=\"url(#f1)\"\/><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"fp-preload\"><b><\/b><b><\/b><b><\/b><b><\/b><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='fvp-share-bar'><ul class=\"fvp-sharing\">\r\n    <li><a class=\"sharing-facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wormholeriders.com%2Fblog%2F2025%2F08%2F18%2Falien-earth-fx-network-and-hulus-new-series-neverland-and-mr-october-trick-treat-or-train-wreck%2F\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/li>\r\n    <li><a class=\"sharing-twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=WormholeRiders+News+Agency+&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wormholeriders.com%2Fblog%2F2025%2F08%2F18%2Falien-earth-fx-network-and-hulus-new-series-neverland-and-mr-october-trick-treat-or-train-wreck%2F\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/li>\r\n    <li><a class=\"sharing-email\" href=\"mailto:?body=Check%20out%20the%20amazing%20video%20here%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wormholeriders.com%2Fblog%2F2025%2F08%2F18%2Falien-earth-fx-network-and-hulus-new-series-neverland-and-mr-october-trick-treat-or-train-wreck%2F\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/li><\/ul><div><a class=\"sharing-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wormholeriders.com\/blog\/2025\/08\/18\/alien-earth-fx-network-and-hulus-new-series-neverland-and-mr-october-trick-treat-or-train-wreck\/\" target=\"_blank\">Link<\/a><\/div><div><label><a class=\"embed-code-toggle\" href=\"#\"><strong>Embed<\/strong><\/a><\/label><\/div><div class=\"embed-code\"><label>Copy and paste this HTML code into your webpage to embed.<\/label><textarea><\/textarea><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WormholeRiders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-30693\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/WormholeRiders-New-Logo-150TS-Dark.png\" alt=\"Click to visit and follow WormholeRiders News Agency on Twitter!\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Thanks to <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/WormholeRiders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kenn<\/a> for video and image embedding for my feature article and many thanks to you for visiting <a title=\"Click to visit and follow WormholeRiders News Agency on Twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/WormholeRiders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WormholeRiders News Agency<\/a>.
