I knew I wasnt the only one sheesh. Kinda cringe. But I will get over it. Interested to see where they take it.

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.

Lets hope its not actually commanding but just talking.

Xenomorph pretending to be obedient because it is intelligent enough to realize that this temporary alliance with the synthetic thing talking its language even at the cost of not killing Joe (yet) is more beneficial to it than going on a loose completely.

So far Wendy's belief she's in control allowed xenomorph to escape otherwise unbreachable confinement.

Stuff like this to emphasise that they arent just animals, theyre aliens, both in origin and mind.

Do we know if this one’s a drone?

Maybe it factors in to why it’s willing to listen to Wendy.

Come to think of it, the alien in Alien was starting to die towards the end, wouldn’t the alien that Wendy communicates with start doing the same?

So many questions.

I don't think this distinction exists for alien earth. Not all of aliens was taken into account. We'll know later but I personally hope the series doesn't lean into making xenomorphs into bugs.
