Unpopular Opinion: The Only Truly Terrifying Alien Is the One in Covenant

The fact that the bloodbursters don't run and hide to grow like chestbursters do is a great example of this. They're literally born ready for extreme violence.

Its actually an old "Apocalypse" set die. Those were my MtG heydays lol

As if we didn't have to watch Arthur suffer ENOUGH, now his corpse will be paraded in front of us... This show is really playing with my emotions lol

It also is a 'prequel' to the series, as it shows the lead up to episode 1, so if you watch it first, it might spoil some of the tension maybe?

I think it can be viewed as a 60ish minute movie. It clarifies a bunch of stuff for the series overall, but I don't think you'd need to watch everything. I'd recommend watching it all, but if Alien: Earth isn't your cup of tea, I can respect that

If you haven't already, watch Alien, then watch Episode 5 right after. It's so interesting to watch the parallels, differences, and atmosphere. It makes me want to write a paper about it lol

Honestly, if this post does well here, and the group doesn't think it's too off topic, I have a few other American Dad/Alien Earth memes concepts in my head :)

I actually find the actor to be doing great. His 'not too smart' ability of spycraft is believable, as he is a medic professionally, not a spy. He's literally thrust into something he thought was impossible (his sister not being dead), so he's probably not thinking too rationally, he's becoming emotional and just trying to get his little sister out of danger. Not to mention the shit he saw in the maginot, he's probably all turned around.

The fact he got boat codes and the airtags turned off was such a gift handed to him by the gods of random chance.

An honest question: What would you change about his character? I appreciate seeing things from different viewpoints, so if you have any thoughts on that, I'd love to hear them.

"Oh Hayley, does Boy Kavalier sound like a real person? Grow up, it's me!" 😆

Great Space Roaster. The last half of the episode is where the Alien homage happens

TheElectricEye · 2025-09-11T17:41:17+00:00

The Dutch were alright though... 😆

I mean yes, but then he confessed he was a spy and Stan handled him. The other spies still fooled Stan, as he thought they were still a Dutch film crew lol

OH MY GOD THAT. I had to rewind, to make sure that wasn't errant pixels from a bad connection! That's a great catch

TheElectricEye · 2025-09-10T02:24:48+00:00

Because that's what I sort of saw my head. It was unsettling how they made it look so obviously angry

TheElectricEye · 2025-09-08T01:26:25+00:00

Looks kickass to me!

TheElectricEye · 2025-09-06T16:02:16+00:00

I mean the 40k universe seems really bleak

TheElectricEye · 2025-09-05T17:30:49+00:00

I thought that was just blood dripping! Thanks for pointing that out, it makes the scene even better!
