Seems like he’s trying to emulate The Matrix with that.

Probably my favorite part of the first two episodes was when Andor Hamilton walked in on the guys cosplaying as French aristocrats, because it was just so fucking weird and did not match the aesthetic of the rest of the show at all, and there was nothing super creative/new about the look of the show up to that point. It looked exactly like I expected an Alien show to look. Then you’ve got half of Louis XIV crawling across the floor. It made me sit up in my chair for the first time. I’m hoping there are more diversions like that as the series goes on.

I'm having a hard time getting past Wendy walking around with a sword that is just a paper cutter that magically sticks to her back.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

This show is gonna get batshit nuts and I am here for it.
Spoiler: show
I don’t think Wendy nor Hermit are impregnated. Wendy has some sort of shared wavelength/receiver with the hive. I could see her joining forces with and/or commanding a squad of xenos to take down Prodigy at some point.

Hermit’s excised lung is now impregnated but he’s fine (for the moment).

This show is amazing. It's almost exactly what I wanted from the IP. I've always wanted someone to be brave enough to tackle the genesis of the Architects (shout outs my boy Ruddo), but this is the next best thing. Weyland-Yutani and competitors. The politics of synth. It's batshit crazy but it's so much fun.

Holy shit this rules.

You can live on one lung. It naturally expands its capacity. #science

Here's hoping they don't borrow more parts to experiment with...

The bits of non-orchestral music still cause me to cock my head like a dog trying to understand a human. That's the only piece of the show that isn't working for me.

Maybe you just have shitty taste?

TV on the Radio - Killer Crane
Black Sabbath - The Mob Rules
Tool - Stinkfist
Metallica - Wherever I May Roam

All I'm seeing here is bangers, fella.

Well maybe go be bothered in the "whiny bitch" section. Because this is the not-a-bitch section.

turns out, it’s sliced all the way through the most indestructible creature in the galaxy. Imagine the stacks of paper you could’ve cut with that paper cutter.

You're conveniently ignoring the other songs I mentioned. Weyland-Yutani would not abide such bitch behaviour. You have had 7 years added to your stay.
