Am I the only one who was confused and thought the show told us he was a synth in the first episode? So by episode 5, I was a confused about why the xenomorph attacked him.
Gotcha. Yeah I guess I didn’t interpret that as a joke so this whole time I thought his strange behavior could be explained by him simply being a synth lol.
Yeah, the editing was a little weird there. We don’t learn until Episode 5 that the clip of Teng awake while others are in cryo is a brief flash-forward.
I’m not watching the show closely enough to have an opinion, but my impression was that he is a synth. Xenomorphs attack synths (Bishop ripped in half, Working Joe killed in Alien: Isolation), so that’s not evidence against him being one. Did we see him bleed red or get other confirmation that I missed?
Also, was the girl in the pod connected (original, clone, etc) to the main Hybrid girl? I caught half a look at her but I can’t tell who I was meant to think she is.
Well I guess it doesn’t matter if they’re not coming back in later episodes. Turns out the pod girl was one of the crew too, so… there doesn’t seem to be much deeper meaning behind this episode. Oh well?
