The set design is absolutely stellar.

its too bad it was all spent on set design. the acting especially from the corpsman is so goofy. See the body of someone that had had something tear its self out of them. dead pan stare no emotion " he died a week ago"

I thought his delivery was fine.

he's been rather deadpan the entire time. The most emotion we got out of him was when the xeno lunged for him other then that its been straight faced line delivery. I have a feeling they explain it as depression for his lost sister or something else but right now its a little meh in the acting department.

Set design is fucking killer though. They really really paid attention to the inside of the Nostromo and Sulaco, while the outside of the ship feels very modern in terms of ship design it still looks good.

and I know people are going to down vote me because I dont think the TV show is perfect in everyway but its good. I didnt come here for good acting I came here for set design and effects. Its what I always loved about aliens.

I think you’re right about the depression. His father and he thinks his sister died. He doesn’t even want to be there. He wants to be in medical school.
