Edit: it was distraction, per Hawley. :(
I’m getting increasingly bummed by this. :gomez: :(

Greenwald and CR also thought she was warning Dr. Idiot so definitely some suspect filmmaking on display.

Maybe Ms. Eyeball was trying to alert Science Officer lady because she wanted the host for herself, and was sure her opportunity would come eventually. The specimens all seem to be in competition with one another in that regard.

OR she was distracting for a better chance of escaping the lab environment. She knows there are plenty of other hosts.

It's certainly an interesting one. I love the level of discussion it has generated.

You were spot on, B, but I don't think Noah did a very good job at getting this across. A rewatch may be in order for me.

I just want to hear about the catastrophic mishaps B has been a part of due to general horniness.

Dildogate 2017 was a real trainwreck. Thank God there weren't any xenomorphs around.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Jane's Addiction and Smashing Pumpkins did nothing for you, but fucking Godsmack hit? Surely you jest.

Did you try googling xenomorph dildo?
