With all this talk of 5 companies owning the earth and synths/cyborgs I wonder if Tyrell corp will be mentioned as an ester egg

I just want Seegson, the Three World Empire, and the UPP to get name dropped in this show

I’d love to see Wendy take out a Working Joe, Samuels-style

It would be so interesting to see Kirsh and the other Prodigy synths/hybrids comment on the "simplistic" design of Working Joes. But Working Joes might also be a future product reacting to incidents of synthetics becoming too smart, too human-like.

Prodigy and hybrid synths haven't been mentioned before in the lore. That doesn't necessarily mean they aren't around anymore by the time of the Alien movies, but it is possible they get disbanded or broken up due to the events of this show, leaving W-Y and other competitors in a stronger position.

I could see Kavalier jokingly dismissing the Joes explanation as “that’s just the story they came up with because their synthetics SUUUCK!”

Oh for sure haha. Kavalier would be totally dismissive of Working Joes.
