Alienor 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:24.000 of episode one Wow. We open uh contemporaneously just just 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.640 a few years before the events of the first Alien movie, 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.720 and we get this epigram to start off with. In 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.600 the future, the race for immortality will come in three guys, 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:39.240 cyborgs haven't seen those yet since we've seen them, and 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:44.080 hybrids oh, sounds like a weed dispenser. 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.360 Everyone does at g light, No dro What do you 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:48.080 so when you. 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:51.760 Come home, like after screening and you're looking to relax, 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.440 do you like to hit the hybrid or do you 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:56.320 like to hit the synth? 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.559 Are you a cyborg person? I got to like which 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:04.280 one is the sleepiest? So I'm going for cybal because 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.240 it's probably like mostly humans. 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:12.080 Thill we open in space, the is sc SS Magino. 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.560 The year is twenty one twenty. The crew is waking 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:22.560 from cryo sleep, and it's all the cinematographical moves from 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:28.079 Ridley Scott's masterpiece Alien. You're seeing the crew getting out 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.360 of their pause. You're seeing them shake off the effects 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:35.880 of cryo sleep. You're seeing them having their breakfast after 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.160 the cryo sleep. 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.280 And smoking a cigarette after the cryo sleep got to 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:41.320 be the first thing that you do. 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.320 Right this timeline, we notice that one of the crew members, 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:49.840 who I think we all expect is probably the synthetic 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:55.320 as mister is being very strange about he's creating. He's 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.680 he's like reaching out towards one of the crew members 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.600 who still in cryo and like kind of like gesturing 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:06.280 towards the glass being very very strange. We get some 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:10.160 very well executed exposition about the current corporate governance structure 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:15.320 of Earth and its colonies. Wayland Utani, of which this 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:20.840 ship is property of, owns North and South America, as 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.440 well as Mars and Saturn. The other companies that dominate 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:29.919 the world are Dynamic, which has the Moon Prodigy, which 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.960 is the newest of the big companies that makes synthetics 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:39.360 and does ai stuff, and the other the other ones 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:40.120 we don't get. 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:41.240 Are they as important? 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:44.240 Probably not, because we haven't Probably not, or maybe eventually, 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:48.240 but not right now. Mister Tang, the weirdo, shows up 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.400 to the breakfast in his bathrobe, and he's like invading, 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:57.080 particularly the women's space, like sitting right. You know, there's 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.720 many seats, but he sits right next to this crew 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.440 mout and makes her uncomfortable. She moves away. The captain 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.240 shows up and is like, hey, we have issues with 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.560 the ship. We're burning too much fuel all of this 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:12.119 other stuff. You guys need to go work on this. 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.520 And we also see in these kind of snippets of 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:21.240 intercut scenes that the ship is carrying specimens of various 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.320 alien races, including face huggers. 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.200 Yeah, I think with mister tens Well, like they there 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:31.000 is this feeling that sure, he is probably a sin. 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:32.960 He's got a weird vibe. And they keep saying like 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.320 he was looking over the women and like, but I'm 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:38.599 thinking probably because he's implanted some aliens. That's like, let's 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:42.040 be real, like he's the babies inside the bellies. 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.320 Yeah, that's probably always. 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:45.000 Doing that kind of snat. 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:49.000 So we get these flashes of violence as we as 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:53.960 we blatantly rip off Ridley's kind of dissolve cuts and 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.320 pans across the crew, and we see. 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.040 They want you to feel that you are really watching 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.320 and alien movie from the seventies, which I will say 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:07.200 the retrofuturist petrology, the production, You really do feel like 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.799 this just instantly fits in in a way the other movies, haven't. 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:16.080 I love that the tech is is feels concurrent with 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.359 the tech that exists in the In the first Alien film, 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.560 we go to Earth the Prodigy Research Island. It's a 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:29.320 collection of islands somewhere tropical. There is a tremulent ill 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:33.440 child who is asking mister Kersh about a scorpion. They 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.400 have this little conversation. 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.039 About say by Timothy Oliphant. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:43.560 Mister Timothy looking looking somewhat menacing but still very handsome, 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:49.320 and she's concerned about this scorpion. The child, she's afraid 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.640 of it, but then you know he's mister Kirsch is 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.600 basically like, oh, don't you know, it's no reason to 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.440 kill it, because if you kill it, then another one 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.880 might bite you. Just leave it alone. Then this woman, 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:04.840 Dame Sylvia, comes to take the child to the thing 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:08.320 that she's about to undergo, and that thing is a 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:13.480 consciousness transference into a android body. The child is again 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:17.040 terminally ill. Now she sees her new body for the 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.039 first time, laying on the table. I would describe the 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:25.279 new body as like omily yes, literally young yeah. The 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:30.840 girl says she's very pretty. Boy cavalier boy, genius, prodigies, 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:36.600 young CEO and founder young, they say, the youngest trillionaire 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.640 in history comes to tell the girl that, hey, you're 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.279 going to be the Neil Armstrong of consciousness transference, and 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.000 he tries to put her at ease in his own 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.680 kind of weird way, and we get among the first 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:56.440 of dozens of Peter Pan references per episode. The child 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:00.080 wants to see her mom, but there's very succeeds. This 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:01.920 is for why her mom can't be there, and she's 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:06.919 clearly scared about what's happening, and we see her memories 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:11.400 kind of from childhood flash as the process is underway, 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:15.720 and then we're done. She opens her eyes as Wendy. 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:21.400 Now her name Wendy another Peter Pan reference, and we 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:25.680 flash forward some amount of time later and forget about it. 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:35.200 She's like superhuman, post human. She can. She is sitting 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:39.120 on the edge of a cliff watching the sunset and 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.720 she jumps down to meet Dame Sylvia on the beach 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.760 and it's a drop of like one hundred. 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.480 Feet and she doesn't even do a superhero landing. She 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.120 just lands straight on the feet, slight knee bent. 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.520 Then yeah, a little flexing of the knees, but that's it, 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.640 and she's like, hi, okay. Later Damon Kirsh interview Wendy, 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:03.000 there is a lot of she's still grappling with how 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:08.200 adult her body is. She's I don't know ten or something. Yeah, mentally, 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.960 and we discover that, you know, there are some obstacles 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.120 and that's part of what this process they're trying to 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.960 smooth out. And some of those being that the hormones, 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:23.520 you know, that regulate human emotions, human physiology. They don't 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.680 exist anymore. So the Prodigy team has had to improvise 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:31.680 to recreate those things digitally one would expect, and so 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:33.240 they want to see how that's going. And that's what 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:38.080 this interview process is about. Kersh, who is a synthetic, 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.920 is completely averse to treating Wendy as a human. She's 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.200 not that anymore. He wants to just treat her as 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:48.720 this posthuman thing that she is. Dame takes the opposite view, 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.840 seeing as how Wendy has the mind of a human 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.560 child and she sees herself that way, why not treat 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:59.040 her that way because that's how she sees herself. Meanwhile, 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:03.640 boy Ceo is like like a total freak, always watching 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:04.280 from the other arm. 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.800 This guy's just always creepily watching through like a creepy 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:12.880 watching kind of gloss. Absolutely, I will say I do 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.920 think that something that is gonna feel extra creepy right 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:20.040 now about this is like the island set up that 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.360 they have where it's this rich guy who has an 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.880 island where he's doing like experiments. 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:29.400 Let's just say it. Let's just say it. The the 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:35.280 FC Pearlols are like, they're they're very much there. They 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.920 are and and and let's see because you know what, 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:44.640 let's table this because it's really episode two where that 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.719 stuff is like because I didn't pick up on it 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.640 at this point. Yeah, but it's episode two where you're 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.600 just like, oh, okay, we're kind of doing that. 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:55.880 I think something that's interesting is just kind of the 0:09:55.920 --> 0:10:01.679 idea of eeriness and how to build like creepiness and airiness. 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.960 And even though this is obviously and in some stories 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:08.040 would be promoted as this positive thing that they're doing 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.160 where they can traanspy these consciousnesses, this episode, in the 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:14.520 second episode just plant it completely for creepiness and kind 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.680 of airiness, which I think works really well. Well, you 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:23.360 know what, I would slightly push back on that film 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:24.439 in the sense that. 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.440 I almost wanted more drawbacks for Wendy. It's only it's 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:34.320 too perfect. It works so well, and we're gonna see that. Yeah, 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:39.120 as this goes forward. Yes, clearly the process is unethical. Creepy, 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:42.760 illegal doesn't count in this world anymore, in a world 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.400 in which the globe has been carved up by various 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:49.520 corporate states that have their own rules within their own territories, right, 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:53.040 so that doesn't count, but it's clearly unethical. But I 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:59.240 would argue that, like, if you undergo this process, hard 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:00.800 to find the draw back right now. 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.960 Likes positivity in the notion of like who doesn't want 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:08.079 to be immortal? But I like that the show always 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.360 poses it from this kind of creepy space. 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:16.120 Absolutely the whole thing, Boy Genius is a creep damon. 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.120 Kursh want to use Wendy as this the kind of 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:23.800 kind face to shepherd this new crop of terminally ill 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:27.679 kids who are coming to the island, the rich Man's Island, 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:33.000 and so she can help shepherd them through this process 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.560 in a kind of stress free as stress free as 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:39.760 ways as possible. When he meets the kids and is like, 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:41.280 I used to be sick, just like you, but now 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.680 I'm super strong and I'm immortal. And we learn that 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.440 it has to specifically be kids because they haven't figured 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:52.080 out how to transfer adult minds. Adult minds are too 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:57.520 rigid to undergo the process, to which I would say, 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.840 how did how did we figure out? What is the 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.240 process that by which we can guessing that. 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.480 Some adults died baby ye yes, and that multiple adults 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.040 died Probably whatas because it's Helam. 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.000 So the kids undergo this process and one by one 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:17.240 they emerge with their new immortal adult bodies. We get 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:22.240 a scene of Boy Genius reading pages of Peter Pan 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.000 as we get more quick cuts of various experiments that 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:29.480 are going on in the island, a scene I'll just say, 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:36.040 I didn't very much needed references For me, I don't 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.360 need an actual reading, but I get it. He's a creep. 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:43.280 He is a creep also at this point, like his 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.080 obsession with Peter Pan, and obviously also the fact this 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.400 was made by FX so they can use multiple clips 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.719 of the Disney Pea Pan movie, which I think was 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:55.800 a big part of this. But like, why at this point, 0:12:55.840 --> 0:13:00.240 why do you think that Boy Genius Boykavlia is so 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.520 obsessed with Peta Pan? Like is he already an old 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.400 man in that body? Is he dying? Like what is 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.600 it about him that has made him so obsessed with 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.040 this because he's still so young? So like, does he 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:12.760 want to be the pet du Pan to these when 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.720 to Wendy and her lost boys, Like, well, is his obsession? 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.360 It's a good question, and I think he gives us 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:22.480 in episode two a good kind of encapsulation of his 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:26.320 core motivation. But I will say at this point that 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:33.040 you know, I don't know anybody that's ever been a 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:36.360 child prodigy, but like having been a musician, it's something 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:38.960 you know, you see like the eleven year old who's 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.360 like can play all of Chopin and like that's stuff 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:47.240 you see, and it's kind of like that. And the 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.640 visual arts, drawing and illustrating is a place where you 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:54.000 see that kind of young genius. And whenever I would 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.240 read or see like a clip or today's show thing 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.559 about oh, the nine year old genius who can do this, 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.040 I was I always felt like that's cool now, but 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:10.320 what you know, what you once after you're sixteen or seventeen, 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.160 nobody's you're just a good piano player. Yeah, nobody facts 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.520 about it that way anymore. And so I wonder, I 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.240 did wonder if part of it for boy genius is 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.640 the fact that someday he's not gonna be a boy. 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.600 He's just gonna regular of being a boy. 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:24.960 He's just gonna be a regular old genius. And those 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:29.400 are a diamond dozen. We go to the ship after nightmare, 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:34.680 cuts of various creatures on the loose and arm red 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:39.880 lights and just like collision alarms flashing something bad has 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.640 occurred on the ship as it is wont to do 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:47.360 in an alien feature, exactly, Morrow, who is a crew 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:52.960 member and a cyborg, so a human with machine parts, 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:57.000 is in the mother computer room and he's updating the 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:00.760 ship's AI on what's gone on. Specimens are out, crew 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.440 is dead. There's a crew member who's banging on the 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:05.760 door trying to get in. He gets up and is like, oh, 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:11.320 you want to come in. He like produces a welding 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.000 device from his forearm. 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.800 Yeah, from his welldic cyborg forum. 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:20.560 Yeah, weld's you know, like like Buck from the from 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:27.200 a Daredevil comic. Welds the door shut and then uh 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:30.400 sits back at the terminal as this woman is cut 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:32.120 to pieces. I felt alien. 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:35.440 I feel like Morrow is like so extra because there's 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:37.120 no way she was getting in that door. But he 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.040 was like, bitch, I'm gonna weld you out. She was like, 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.520 I hope you're gonna die just in case. And obviously 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:45.040 we get our first real look at the really incredible 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.720 like classics animal, which I think gives you a hint 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.280 at how well the creatures are gonna be done in 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.520 this show. Because this shit is scary as how and 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.800 the last classic moment of like. 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.479 The entire show looks. 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.800 Looks like a million dollars by may Zing. 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:08.680 Amazing. So the alien smashes through the door, it gets 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:14.000 into the mother room. Uhmorrow again updates Mothers like we're 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.720 crashing one hundred percent, we are going to crash into earth. 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.240 And then he goes into like this little safe room 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.920 under the floor of the computer room, and as the 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.480 alien pounds on the door, the ship crashes. We go 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:26.480 to Moisely. 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.680 Morrow's mission, it feels like to me, was to make 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.960 sure that the plane crashed on a and and he 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.000 because he didn't let that woman in, he lied that 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:36.360 they were dead, Like what are you? 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:40.120 I'm eager to discover that because why crash a you 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:44.920 tiny ship into prodigy Dodgy territory unless he was like 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:49.360 a prodigy spot. I was going to say, maybe we're 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.920 going to find that out. So we go to New Siam, 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:55.960 which is a Prodigy city in this kind of tropical, 0:16:56.240 --> 0:17:01.680 seemingly Asian belt of Prodigy Territory. Wendy is watching videos 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:06.879 of a medic her brother, who you know, was her 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.199 brother when she was human. She is talking to all 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:13.560 her stuffed animals about his history and who he is 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:17.840 and how does she have access to all the feeds 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:18.680 that pick him up? 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:20.480 Very interesting stuff. 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.680 We as soon discovered that her prodigy managers have let 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.040 her do that as a way to kind of, I guess, 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:28.880 ease her transition into her post. 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:32.520 Humanness, and they also like don't It becomes very clear 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:34.560 in this episode and episode two like they also don't 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:39.600 really know. They have a you know, classic alien technology 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.200 where it's like they kind of know what she can do, 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:44.640 but they also have don't really know what she can 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.280 do because they've never done. She is the first one 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:50.240 as that we see that has you know, been successful. 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.120 But yeah, she is just like she is doom scrolling 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:54.120 on her brother. 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:55.560 Like extremely hot. 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.320 She just can't stop watching videos of him and is 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:03.600 very clear that she is not supposed to be doing this. 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:05.880 She's not supposed to have this emotional connection. 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.120 Brother is a big baseball fans. He's listening to baseball 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:13.199 games on his headphones and he goes home and he 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:16.040 watches he's watching Ice Age, which is a movie that 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:18.760 he used to watch with his as far as he's 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:22.760 considered dead sister. Later, while he's you know, pumping iron 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:28.280 with other colonial marines. Seemingly, the ship crashes like right 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:33.000 above their heads in an amazing and crazy sequence. It 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:36.719 just like flips the buildings that are around them and 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:43.040 crashes into these huge, like residential mixed use towers across 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:46.200 the city. So they are a search and rescue team 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:48.200 clearly modeled on the colonial. 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:51.160 Very colonial marines, like no question. 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:53.880 And they go in. Yeah, because they don't just search 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.239 and rescue team, you figure, Okay, the dogs, they've got 0:18:56.280 --> 0:19:00.200 the flashlights, they've got these guys have fully like assault rifles. 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.040 Just like going. Guys like have a good time. 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:08.119 So they go in and they hit the crash site 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.520 and they start, you know, going through these buildings looking 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:13.120 for a place that they can one they can rescue 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:16.399 people out of the various floors of the damaged building 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:18.720 and also go into the ship which is part way 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:22.280 embedded into the buildings and see if there's anybody alive 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.920 in there. Meanwhile, Marrow emerges from his safe room. Crewe 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:30.200 is one hundred percent dead now. He tells mother, Hey 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:34.200 send a message to Corporate HQ. We lost the ship 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:40.480 and also appears that we've crashed in competitor territory who 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.520 appear poised to steal our alien ip. Let's take a 0:19:43.560 --> 0:20:00.520 quick break, and we were right back to and we're 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:05.960 back elsewhere. Wendy is still being tested alongside the new machines. She, 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:11.920 we learn, can hear frequencies way beyond human hearing, and 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:13.960 as they're testing her, she looks up at the screen, 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:17.280 sees the news about the crash and is like, search 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:19.440 and rescue. My brothers, search and rescue. He's got to 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:23.000 be there. And in fact, we see her interface with 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:26.080 the screen somehow and like flip through the different camera 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:31.440 feeds and she sees him, and she's extremely troubled, as 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:35.080 one would guess. Meanwhile, Boy Genius gets briefed on the 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:39.600 crash by his butler, mass casualties, blah blah blah. But 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:45.240 whyland Utani ship with potentially some top secret and very 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:49.640 expensive whyland Utani ip on there? Boy Genius is like, 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:54.360 that's great, So sad about everybody who's died, but we're 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:57.040 keeping that fucking ship, no question of no. 0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:59.399 But it's not going back, baby, this is mine, not 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:00.560 that is. 0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:04.840 Oh. 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:04.040 Oh. 0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:08.040 Wendy comes in and is like, hey, I'm going on 0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:11.399 the crash site. I want to get my brother. I 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:15.320 want to help him, and why not? Why can't I go? 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:18.639 I'm can't be hurt, I'm immortal, I'm super strong. 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:19.320 I'm fine. 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:21.960 Like, let's see the Lost Boys.

You know we're gonna be monitoring you the 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:33.119 whole time. We later find out that Boy Genius can 0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:36.240 actually see through their eyes, like he has camera shots 0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:39.520 where he's like literally looking through their eye holes and 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:41.199 he says, curse, you go with them and you make 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:45.720 sure they don't get any trouble. So meanwhile, the Lost 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:48.520 Boys are sitting around, they're they're getting to know each other, 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:52.040 talking about like how strong their bodies are now and 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:54.439 they're immortal. They're wondering like, okay do we die?

They see 0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:25.919 all the weird specimens in their glass cases. They're like, 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:28.920 what the fuck are these? There's a body on the floor. 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:33.159 This guy's been shot. Meanwhile, the gross some of the 0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:36.880 gross insects that were like in one of the pods 0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:40.359 and being fed earlier in an earlier scene, dropped from 0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:43.840 the ceiling onto a guy's shoulder, full spider kind of Oh, 0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:47.120 I call that the the I A puss?

No survivors, but there's weird stuff. You know, 0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:36.439 there's a blood trail, there's evidence of what we know 0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:38.439 as a chest burst, but like they don't know what 0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:41.720 that is. There's a dead face hugger nearby. All of 0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:46.639 this stuff is very mysterious to them.
