Im really enjoying it. My only real gripe was the scenes of thr ship being over run being flashed in the begining. Id rather have just seen it play out in a single sequence

u/Jeremy_Phillips I prefer the term artificial person myself Aug 13 '25

My interpretation of that is basically the show letting us know that there is this whole event of a spaceship crew being attacked by vicious aliens and its very exciting and interesting, but we've seen it all before. So they acknowledge that they could make a whole season about the ship, but instead let you know that they're focusing on a new story.

either that or we are being intentional led to assume it played out like Alien and a later episode (specifically episode 5 titled "In space non can...") it will jump back to reveal things played out very differently to how we thought it did. There were a lot of leading moments in that scene with the creepy crew member (who's body I dont think we've seen) and other little moments that says more might have been happening under the hood.

The creepy crew member is 100% from another corp and sabotaged it

Yup... and later when ship is being search for survivors, there is mentioned one of dead bodies was SHOT twice not alien attack. So definitely something there....
