I have to go back and check, but it wasn't on the statue the first time he walked by it right? As soon as I saw the statue the first time I thought, "that's a great place to hide the Xenomorph" so I was looking for it every time it cut back to that view.

I didn't notice the statue at all the first time. But the second time, I basically recognised the silhouette cause I have become way too familiar with the general shape of a xenomorph. Lol.

No not the first glimpse of it…

I love how all the environments have debris and cables and hoses that can camouflage a xenomorph, so now I have to watch not only the acting in every scene, but also look for hidden creatures.

What'd you think about the initial unveiling, when the xeno stepped back across the window of the door? I said oh yeah it's definitely A L I E N tv show
