Edit: it was distraction, per Hawley.

I’m getting increasingly bummed by this.

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.

Do not search the web for “xenomorph dildo.”

Some additional comments from Hawley on episode 5: https://decider.com/2025/09/03/alien-ea ... interview/

Fuck yeah.

This is the first episode where the end music clicked for me.

There's a small window of oportunity that I might get to watch the first episode of this tonight

Do it. I have some quibbles but am, overall, having an absolute blast.

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

Just sitting down to finally start this series now
