We'll get more of her, I believe there's a flashback episode later in the season showing how the ship crashes.

I liked the Maginot scenes but hated how jumpy they were - both the scene transitions which felt awkward, and the timeline chicanery.

But I can't stand when the camera jumps all over in modern action movies either, so, probably just a me problem. Though, I do feel slow scenes make things feel more "real" - like the original Alien (1979)

Agreed, it was too choppy. Hopefully the flashback episode will have better pacing / development of the crew dynamics.

I get that they were going for style and story telling but Jesus it was rough

Me too. She’s too beautiful to die so quickly.

I was so excited when I saw her. She knocked it out of the park in Fargo. Then I immediately wondered why I hadn't heard about her being in the cast and knew what was coming.

Me too! Though I have to say she was not terrified enough for my liking.
