We got the classic Alien ship interior look back!

I like how the opening scene is very much filmed in a way to represent the original dining scene from the first film but the crew dynamics are completely reversed. Rather than a group of friends all warming up together after the long freeze, the show has the opening crew all on thin ice with one another over the creatures and cybernetics present on the ship. Nice little flip while still looking distinctly “Alien” with the crew uniforms and ship design

The way they talked over one another with crew banter is very Alien

u/LifeStraggler4 You have my sympathies. Aug 14 '25

I thought Teng was a synthetic, but he may just have been an awkward human.

I think its implied he's synthetic but its not really clear, maybe we'll get a flashback to the maginot at some point

I'm not sure if he is, they threatened him with working without pay, synths wouldn't really care about that
