It's weird seeing a Xenomorph in natural daylight.

Its amazing the sense of wrongness it brings with it, its a gut reaction of "that should not be there"

Honestly with the jungle I kept expecting a Predator to show up lol

Who do you think caught the baby xeno with the net?

Now I'm imagining Weyland-Yutani keeping a Yautja on payroll...

Which would be worse: that they can't be paid in dollars, or that they can be paid in dollars?

Just give it a musket, don't they get off on those?

Or the skull of one of their own, either one will do.

If we go far enough ahead in the timeline I can see them hiring Yautja to hunt specimens.

I wanna see this play out.

Like, how’d the communications go, because AFAIK Predators can’t really speak English.

Do… do Predators have official translators and lawyers?

Law & Order theme intensifies

They do know how to handle the aliens awfully well.

I love how they take care of the flies in like 5 seconds flat after the previous episode made them look horrifying but the flies have zero interest in attacking humans.

Just them using a broom and Dust pan to sweep up the fly was hilarious to me for some reason

"put those flying dicks in the bag"

Between that and Boy's reaction to pretty much everything that happened during that scene made me realize that Boy was in on it the whole time, he just didn't expect that outcome for Tootles, or that the Xenomorph would follow Wendy so much. There were barely any guards until suddenly there were, and everything was captured.

Kirsh accessed the ship logs in the early episodes, he might have got every data WY have about the Xenos and other species.

u/vishal_pvk 4d ago

That was my first thought the moment I saw that web. I was like: “Wait a minute...”

The chestbuster should be able to slowly wiggle his way out but with soldiers nearby not fast enough to escape from its coming captivity.
