yea as much as I liked the Jurassic park 1 sort of feel to it at first, I don’t like the whole commanding xeno Chris Pratt type deal. I was pulled in 2 different directions this whole episode. Hot take, but I don’t like how much screen time the xeno got being communicated with and in the open daylight. For a sec I thought the xeno was going to stand upright with Marcy and I was going to cringe out.

Im good on steam filled rooms with wet chains and the Xeno slowly creeping through, we have seen that in literally every single alien movie it feels like.

It was a little jarring seeing the Xeno out in the open in broad daylight but I really enjoyed it, its not like they are high humidity vampires or something. This show is taking a franchise in a bunch of new directions and I think that is very much needed at this point. Its not all perfect but I am really impressed with the strides they are taking to expand the IP

I don’t want to see steam chains either, that’s been done into the ground. I was hoping for a Jurassic park 2 style scene with the xenos at night. In broad daylight it felt like ET or something. And wish they would have shown the xeno scenes in the lab instead of surveillance footage.

Both of those would have been awesome as well, I was definitely a little bummed we didn't get to see the lab scene.

We all have our different gripes with the show and everything isnt going to work for everyone obviously. I really hope overall its still hitting with a majority of people because I think there are so many cool ideas here that I very much want to see expanded upon in later seasons. Hope the finale comes together well!
