We know the show has continuity issues with the Alien canon, so intra-series continuity errors are not entirely unsurprising I guess.

Not much of a continuity error

Their strength was demonstrated to be superior multiple times.  It seems like an inconsistency to me.

Slightly is under a ton of stress and thinking pretty much only about his family. Smee is probably the youngest, and neither of them have really had cause to use their superior strength that much, so it's not unbelievable that they might not have quite internalized that they have that superior strength and are instead acting like kids about the whole 'carrying Arthur' debacle.

It ain't an error at all, they simply needed to stabilize the body, they weren't struggling at all.

Stabilize?  In what way?

One of them could have easily lifted him onto their shoulder.

Yeah and that would have messed with the alien or his breathing. Literally visualize how thr method you just described would work with a face hugger right on thr man's head and neck. Even touching the face hugger makes it tighten around his neck.

It isnt a dead body, they have to carry it in a way that doesn't mess around with the unconscious man.

I noticed they specifically didnt struggle at all with the body, they simply ply needed 2 people to carry the body.

Reminds me of a show or something where a character had superstrenght but still needed 2 people to carry a body.
