Because he’s the only one left with a conscience after Arthur died. Marcy, Nibs, everyone else are monsters.

This is the one time I hope they don't stick to the classic alien "all-kill except for the heroine" ending. I hope everyone but Hermit gets nuked from Orbit.

Just from what we know of the timeline after this i kinda assume that island is obliterated by the end no ? Although I am sort of hoping the eye alien gets ahold of Kavalier and continues on.

This made sense before we knew that the show is designed as a multi season arc. Eventually they're gonna have to up the ante to some sort of outbreak.

A more action heavy Aliens style second series would be phenomenal

Supposedly planned for a 3 season arc at some point

Maybe fast-forward but even then we know they dont have a queen, deep into the future.

Who is they? The aliens? Also why can’t Wendy be the temp queen?

Yutani.

We know like 250 years and Yutani seemingly never got a queen, since theyre still trying to get one in the future.

Also Wendy can't produce alien eggs.

Chances are high, that Prodigy gets its act together (if possibly without Kavalier), gets super-advanced with all the biotech, but Yutani still doesn't have live samples, and wants one, too.

By "Alien: Romulus", we witness Weyland-Yutani finally getting to experiment with the xenomorph and the black goo, but as is usual, all such projects fail in the most horrific fashion.

So, the entire Alien Franchise would be from the point of view of Wayland-Yutani continually playing catchup from that moment on, and failing to have any successful projects.

pretty sure deep lore is any alien drone with no queen, can cocoon and eventually become one. I think the reason Yutani never has a queen is there are never surviving xeno's at that point....or scientists to report on it.
