Alien: Earth - Episode 8

The Real Monsters

Written by Noah Hawley and Migizi Pensoneau
Directed by Dana Gonzales

Wendy and co are in a cell, separated from Hermit and Morrow.

Kavalier reveals he built a Synth as a child and used creation to kill his abusive father.

Wendy unlocks the cell and Kavalier flees.

Smee and Slightly enter a lab and subdue Kirsh and Morrow.

Atom lures Hermit to Kavalier's room where the Ocellus is loose.  Wendy arrives and paralyzes Atom (confirmed to be a mechanical), and the Ocellus escapes to the beach, reanimating Arthur's corpse.

As Yutani approaches the island, the Synths have imprisoned Kavalier, Dame Sylvia etc and with Wendy's pet in close attendance, she declares "Now, we rule."

Assessment

A soul-destroying end to one of the worst fucking things I've ever seen.

Congratulations Disney.  Seriously, awesome work.

The writing, characters, decision-making, xenomorph, just absolute HORSESHIT.

And yeah, I'm talking about the whole series.

Alien³ and Alien: Resurrection, all is forgiven.

Will a second season be greenlit?

Don't know and don't care.
