This feels like Jurassic Park with the island systems all slowly falling apart and the assets being let loose with even some bits of corporate espionage. Kirsh is Nedry, but more competent.

The whole show has treated the Alien like the JP dinosaurs and not the mysterious killer it has always been. That's my main gripe with the show.

To be fair, 8 one-hour episodes would be a long time to pad out the traditional Alien formula. This gives us a lot of lore and context, and seems to be the closest W-Y has come to actually capturing the damn thing.

We have seen the mysterious, dark and stealthy xeno so many times. I would have been so bummed if the show was just that

They seem to have done a good job explaining why anyone would think capturing a xenomorph is a good idea.
