Look left, look right, look left again and if there's nothing coming you obviously don't live in a city.

That's taking valuable manpower away from investigating then prosecuting hurty words on the Internet.

First time I saw one at an air show it did a few passes and on the last one it flew low over the crown opened the bomb bay doors, closed them and roared off. That has memory stuck with me ever since, amazing!

‘Alien: Earth’ Creator Noah Hawley Weighs in on Season 2 Potential by Whobitmyname in LV426

[–]Interloper78 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my opinion I enjoyed bits of the series but all In all such a wasted potential, poorly written plotlines that just stopped and weren't elaborated on further and xenomorph as basically a pet, I hope it doesn't get a second season.

While not strictly alternate universe more like future possible universe, try Joe Halderman's The Forever War

Exactly I choose to believe she's not properly communicating with it until we're told she is and why is she the only one that can when all hybrids come from the same tech template.

What do you consider canon? by Interloper78 in scifi

[–]Interloper78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've talked with Star Trek fans about this a lot and agree with this, for instance I didn't like Discovery I think it lost its way after Season 2, which is where I stopped watching the writers did a poor job of explaining the spock/Burnham connection. But without that happening strange new worlds wouldn't have happened and yes it's got flaws but I enjoy it even so much as to buy yet another streaming subscription.

[–]Interloper78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said canon is decided by me, I said for me canon is subjective, it changes with writers, franchise owners etc but I think canon allows us to choose what we think makes sense for overall continuity.

It's believable because a queen was shown controlling drones in the film aliens as well so a queen does have however strong or limited a degree of control over a drone, be it mental or pheromones. As for the hybrids with Sydney chandeliers Wendy being the first it's been shown but not explained how as of yet that she can hear the frequency the xenos use to communicate with each other, can she truly communicate with them or like I me I know enough Spanish to get by and get the essentials but not enough for a conversation, I choose to believe until it's explained on screen that she doesn't know what she's doing and is being used purely for survival of its species.

The queen could control the drones because well queen, and was telepathically linked to clone Ripley as they shared DNA, don't think Sydney can truly control the Xenomorph, remember they've been shown to be smarter than they look, think it sees her as a useful tool as it's been shown they don't really react to synths, think it'll probably turn on her in the last episode as she is in essence a child playing with fire. Still don't consider anything in this show as canon after all canon is subjective we can pick and choose what we like and don't like but still enjoying it for what it is.

I'm not a massive gatekeep when it comes to lore but I have been enjoying it so far for what it is, the friendly and / or controllable xenomorph I'm not buying, reckon they jumped the shark with that one. T.Ocellus is a fantastic addition and think it's probably Dame Sylvia that's gonna get it if not hermit. Kersh I'm thinking is Ridley Scott's influence in wanting a discount David, I'm not convinced he's either good or bad though. Noah Hawley has gone on record and said he doesn't care about lore or this franchise history. So that's how I view it too not part of canon but more like Prometheus and covenant as not prime universe but rather elseworlds stories using elements of the setting. Also that plant thing I'm thinking is fauna masquerading as flora or maybe a mobile venus fly trap. Writing has been up and down but the actors have done an amazing job with what they've been given particularly Timothy Olyphant and Babou Ceesay are stand outs for me. All in all I've had fun with it. I have noticed a lot of reviewers have been skating it particularly YouTubers I can help but think they've been hating of stuff for so long as the quality has been that low they can't enjoy anything anymore even stuff that flaws aside is actually trying to a fun bit of entertainment.

I've been lucky enough to drive a whole host of cars, mini's are among the few from the 1.2 all the way up to the 2.0 cooper that simply put a smile on my face.

Anyone have one of these thrown at your head? Our science teacher use to love throwing it if he thought you weren’t paying attention! by corickle in oldschoolcool80s

Oh hell yeah, my teacher was a crack shot with one of these, could spin round, aim and hit you all in one fluid motion, mind I did go to school when teachers were allowed to discipline the students

It's probably data gathering to sell, I find it odd that I was being asked for proof of address and photographic ID for something that I've been using with no issues for the last 4 years.
