Speaker 1: I'm recording are you ready? Alien Earth? Warning? Today's episode

00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: it spoilers four Alien Earth one oh five. My name

3
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: is Jasconcepcion and I'm Mersey Nike and welcome back to

4
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: X ray VS. We dived video of raby Jo's movie

5
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: is probably are bad you? Three episodes a week and loss.

6
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: In today's episode, we are recapping episode five of Alien

7
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: and boy oh how many times people get step in

8
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: the ship with the alien that always dumb. Don't worry, guys,

9
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: let's get into.

10
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: It Alien Earth episode five in space No. One dot

11
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: dot dot dot dot dot to flashback episode folks All

12
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: episode Marrow is woken from cryo to learn that stuff's

13
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: going left on the on the ship. There's a fire,

14
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: he's told, and potentially some of the creatures are running around,

15
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: and also the captain's dead, so that's bad. He gets

16
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: up markets to the med bay and we see that

17
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: two crew members have been hugged They are currently being

18
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: hugged by the face huggers, and that one of them

19
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: was severely burned by the acid blood. Fire is out now,

20
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: but the ships just kind of generally is a mess.

21
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: The eggs somehow hatched, the crates were opened. Marrow wants

22
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,639
Speaker 1: to know how He's like, okay, how this all happen?

23
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: And the protocol for hugged crew is do not perform

24
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: a procedure to try and remove the the creatures. Just

25
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: put them in cry of sleep and we'll figure it

26
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: out when we get to Earth. The other aliens, what's

27
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: up with them? No one's sure, which is bad.

28
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm also very interested in what this tells us

29
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 2: about the Utawni mission, the kind of like wailing Utani

30
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 2: overlook of the future, because it's very different to what

31
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: we see an alien This is not a secret mission.

32
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: I will also say that I am shocked, shocked, shocked

33
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: that they get to this point with so few casualties

34
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: that they went. They are potentially various alien worlds and

35
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: like truly a ship of bozos anyway. So Mar's like,

36
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: what's up with the aliens? Folks are like, well, you

37
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: know what, I think they're secure, but I don't want

38
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: to go down there. No one really wants to go

39
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: down there, but they all eventually agree to a company

40
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: Morrow down there. Morrow is like, I'm going to take

41
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: control of this situation. The engineers want Morrow to launch

42
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: the bodies into space. And Marrow's like, no again. They

43
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: go into cryo sleep and now tell me more engineering

44
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: department about the damage and apparently the fire damage and

45
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: the navigation and the steering which is kind of like

46
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: important for the ship. And so now they're just kind

47
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: of hurtling out of control towards Earth. Down in the lab,

48
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: it certainly appears as if all the creatures are secure.

49
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: Later on, Marrow, who is paranoid, which is how he

50
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: has to be and I guess his job, which is

51
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: to make sure everything is secure in guardians, corporate sabotage, etc.

52
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: Thinks about the cause of all this. To him, it

53
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: looks like sabotage because like the fire happened in just

54
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: the right place.

55
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the random like aliens just happened to make

56
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: it out and nobody knows who opened.

57
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: The boxes, and so yeah, what's going on?

58
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 3: Okay, let's check.

59
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: He speaks to the acting captain about this and is like,

60
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: you need to call a shipwide emergency and she's like no, no, no, no, no,

61
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: because that will cause a panic. Everybody will start freaking out.

62
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: Let's why I freaked out?

63
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: Alien?

64
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: I know. Let's let's go to mother and punching it

65
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: to mother and see what she says. And Morrow's like, no,

66
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: how about this. I know that you've been having an affair,

67
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: having a relationship with one of your crewmates who's currently

68
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: being hugged by the face hugger sadly, and that's against

69
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: company regulations. So how about I dropped the dime on

70
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: you and destroy your career and then take control of

71
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: this ship, which I absolutely can do. So I have

72
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: been ordered by you Tani herself to make sure that

73
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: this cargo gets to Earth safely. That is priority one.

74
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: I don't care about you or the lives of any

75
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: of these other crew members, so declare the fucking emergency

76
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: or else.

77
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: And she also, I just want to say big we

78
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: were right for Joel, the super producer. Joel, yes, because

79
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: she cool that this was going to be a You

80
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: Tawny ship rather than a wayland ship. So yeah, and

81
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: Morow we're going to find out why he cares so

82
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: much about Utani things.

83
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: So the weird guy who we thought was a synth

84
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: but apparently is not Tang is being weird again to

85
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: one of the crew members in a cryopod, and people

86
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: are like, hey, leave that poor girl alone. He kind

87
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: of refuses to do it. Marrow goes to what they

88
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: call the zoo and lots of weird creatures in there,

89
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: in various cages and vats. There is one cage door

90
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: wide open, which was where the face huggers apparently came from.

91
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: Acid hole in the floor goes down several levels, the

92
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: whole bit, the whole alien bit. Marrow goes to his office.

93
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: He watches the security tape he sees the face hugger attack,

94
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: and then he begins to look at all the footage

95
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: to try and find the saboteur, and he finds him.

96
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: Oh appears certainly to be a hymn crouching, you know,

97
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: suspiciously by some very sensitive materials in hardware. The acting

98
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: captain cries over her boyfriend, who currently has the face

99
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: hugger on his face, and she does a little fun

100
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: funeral rite and pours some earth dirt on his cryo,

101
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: which is like, who's going to clean that up? I

102
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: appreciate the gesture, but, you know, and very touchingly is like,

103
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna be home soon, babe, you know. I guess

104
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: thinking that maybe they'll get this thing off his face.

105
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 2: I think that's what that being, at least scheming or performisted,

106
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 2: maybe because they seem to have a protocol for what

107
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 2: happens if you get face hugged, which makes me think

108
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: that people have been face hugged before. And maybe the

109
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: lie you tell their crew so they don't try and

110
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: do the surgery is, Oh, just put them in the

111
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: right the crew, the cryo tanks, and we'll get them back.

112
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: We'll do the thing. But, as we're going to find out,

113
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: also bad idea.

114
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: I think you're right because it does certainly seem as

115
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: if this is not their first encounter with these creatures,

116
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: because Marrow knows the biological process that is happening, as

117
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: we will find out later. Morrow meanwhile, is watching the

118
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 1: acting current acting captain having her dalliance with the currently

119
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: face hugged boyfriend. Acting captain goes to see mother. Mother

120
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: is like, what's up with the cargo. Acting captain says, well,

121
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, they got out, but things are stable now,

122
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,239
Speaker 1: but we're not really sure about can like one hundred

123
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: percent containment. I couldn't tell you that we're one hundred

124
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: percent contained.

125
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And she also, well, she asked her something really important.

126
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: She's like, can I destroy the cargo if more crew

127
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: life is threatened, and Mother's like, no, fucking absolutely sorry, babe,

128
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: you must be mistaken.

129
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: And I'll just say this, there's no there's no Ripley's

130
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: on this ship. There is no one of the there

131
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: is no one of the kind of fortitude of a

132
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: Ripley on this ship, sadly except for Morrow, who is

133
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: a sidework anyway. Mother then stresses like, listen, aliens take priority.

134
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: We don't care if you die, press enter if you acknowledge,

135
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: and she and okay. Mar goes back to his cabin

136
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: and listens to the Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter song loves.

137
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: That for him, just this huge fan.

138
00:08:53,360 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: Will meet again. And then he thinks of his daughter

139
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: back on Earth, and we learned that shortly after the

140
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: ship launched, he got a telex from Earth that his

141
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: daughter died in a fire. And so that is kind

142
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: of why Garrow is the way he is.

143
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 2: Question was his daughter killed in a fire by Utani

144
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: so that he would have nothing else to live for

145
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: except for just like serving the company, or is it

146
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: just a coincidence that then put him in this position

147
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 2: to be so kind of cold and calculating when he

148
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: needs to be.

149
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: I don't think so, because as we do find out,

150
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: you Tani the grandmother who is the Utani he knows

151
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: like saved him from.

152
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like she's kind of like a yeah,

153
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: some kind of maternal figure at.

154
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: Least, so I think he would have been down for

155
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: whatever Utani said without a murder plot. Yeah, so that's

156
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: really sad. Time passes, there's another explosion. I thought it

157
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: was by this time, I thought Tang is the guy, beautiful,

158
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: incredible figure.

159
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,599
Speaker 3: I really don't think it was him.

160
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: So now the whole crew is like, Okay, there is

161
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of saboteur. Then there's a breach in cryo.

162
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: They get they get that alert and that means the

163
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: chest bursters have burst. Did someone defrost theo? I wanted

164
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: to freeze them. I think you can't freeze them.

165
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 3: I think also this.

166
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 2: Proves that for whatever reason, this is the first time

167
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: or at least no reports have gone back about this,

168
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 2: because otherwise surely you would use a more you know,

169
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: chest burst, a proof gloss or something like. It seems

170
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: like too easy for this thing to get through the glass.

171
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 3: I'm like, is a cryopod?

172
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: Like? How?

173
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 2: But I guess it is an alien and it does

174
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 2: have acid blood.

175
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: So well, it would not be an Alien show if

176
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: the scientists technicians were not incredibly stupid, because one of them,

177
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: as they're musing, yeah, as they're musing about how this

178
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: is possible, one of them says, well, we do know

179
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: that they can survive the vacuum of space. Well, yeah,

180
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: if they can survive the the sub zero almost total

181
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: zero vacuum of space, then of course they can survive

182
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: the cryot tube and running around talking about yeah, soh.

183
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: And now basically the plot of Alien is unfolding like

184
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: inside of this other story. Morrow then gives his order,

185
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: aren't takes control out because clearly, like everyone agrees in

186
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: a security situation, Morrow is now in control of the ship,

187
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: and he tells the crew we're going to capture this thing.

188
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna go by teams. Everybody goes by twos, nobody

189
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: goes alone anywhere, and uh, capture, capture, capture, capture, don't

190
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: kill kill. Down in the lab, the experiments, the very

191
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: shoddy experiments continue with the eye watching very closely everything.

192
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 2: That very cool to see that I perspective kind of

193
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: like a fly with multiple lenses. Very fun.

194
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: And again I have to say, I think the triumph

195
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 1: of this show is that it got me to empathize

196
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: with the I'm pro alien, right, like, I like.

197
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: Kill something, you know what could happen because of how

198
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: scary this x anomorph is. But this show has actually

199
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: done a really fantastic job of getting that very unexpected

200
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: little bit of empathy where you are rooting for You're like, yeah,

201
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 2: go for it, like they out of space and now they're.

202
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: Like, hey, hey, blood imbibing bugs kill the people like

203
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: you deserve it. So one of the bugs that apparently

204
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: lives on the oxygen in the blood of its victims,

205
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: figures out how to open the top of the vat

206
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: and I thought this, now, this part was like super interesting.

207
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: The eye tries to warn the lady by slapping on

208
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: the glass, is like, hey.

209
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: I thought that was pretty crazy.

210
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: That's interesting.

211
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, does it have feelings for haa?

212
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 3: Was she nice to it?

213
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: I think it's just like hi, I mean, it's clearly

214
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: like empathy or something, and just is like hey, look out,

215
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, like the thing and the woman does not

216
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: pay any science officer does not pay any attention. The

217
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: bug goes and ejaculates in her water, filling it with

218
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: hundreds of tadpoles and then climbs through her sandwich to

219
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: kind of try to hide grossly, but is immediately recaptured

220
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: and the water insemination goes unnoticed. Meanwhile, the Eye, of course,

221
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: is plotting its escape, and it manages to knock its

222
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: enclosure down onto the ground, smashing glass, and it gets out.

223
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: There is no alarm that, by the way, that goes

224
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: off when this happens, which is which is again again,

225
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: what are we doing in space?

226
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: I think you need you need much better security going

227
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: on in this ship.

228
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 3: How about you, Tani and r Whalen.

229
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: How about in space no one notices anything, and in

230
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: space you're all supposed to be in cryer sleep, So

231
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: don't worry about what's going on on the ship.

232
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 4: Guys.

233
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: We get the classic alien cafeteria scene. The whole crew

234
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: is there, despite the fact that the captain has died,

235
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: aliens have escaped, and that there's a saboteur on board,

236
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: and two of the crew members are currently lying with

237
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: parasites on their faces. Everybody's kind of in an okay, okay,

238
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: jolly mood because the food's coming out.

239
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this, then, is this like

240
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: in the few sure of alien enough, like is this

241
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: just like a normal really bad day at the office,

242
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: Like you you're like aware when you go into this,

243
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: you're like, oh god, man, like it not that somebody

244
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: could get Just give me the fucking face hugger at

245
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: this point, man, because I know it's all going badly,

246
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: Like I do.

247
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 3: Feel like this section.

248
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 2: They're all kind of like, oh well, and I'm like, oh.

249
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: Okay, guys, sure, So Tangs is smoking. He refused to

250
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: stop smoking. We discover that the fuel is gone and

251
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: they're flying on fumes again. Everybody's kind of very jocular

252
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: and just like, you know, like that very alien before

253
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: the chest burster kind of vibe. We watched the young

254
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: engineer of the engineering department just gulp down the science

255
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: officers water. Morrow addresses everyone and basically says, listen, the

256
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: investigation is about to get fucking real now because someone

257
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: in this room is a saboteur and so just be

258
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: aware of that. And if anybody wants a full share,

259
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: they will pass me information that leads to an arrest.

260
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: And that's it, and let's take a quick break and

261
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: come back. And we're back from from lunch break and

262
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: smoke break.

263
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: How'd you feel about it?

264
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: I will say of this scene, N I will now.

265
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 2: You know what I would just say it give it

266
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: a group chat, the early group chat, small bit of

267
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: rage bait.

268
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: I just didn't like the a d R. I thought

269
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: was maybe maybe in the podcast version it will be

270
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: it will the sound mix will sound better. But it

271
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: sounded so obviously adr and not the kind of naturally

272
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: town like talking over each other kind of thing that

273
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: it didn't I don't know, it didn't do it for me,

274
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,239
Speaker 1: this particularly scene. And also it felt weird that like

275
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: maybe to your point, yeah, working for Whalen you Twani

276
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: is so crazy, like like dangerous?

277
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: Better than Hermit's job? Is this better than mining on Romulus?

278
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: Like?

279
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 3: Is it bad?

280
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 2: Because you get good food, you get a little bit freedom.

281
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: It's not constantly, but you get to be in cry

282
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 2: or sleep? Is the hazard worth it? I wonder if

283
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: that is what they're trying to tell us it because

284
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 2: everyone is acting real chill about it.

285
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: Oh, I said Bob Town. I meant Bob Altman, Robert

286
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: all like that kind of Robert Altman. That alien really

287
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: nails in that scene and makes it feel like a workplace. Yeah,

288
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: this one felt like Joelle the in the chat is

289
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: saying it sticks out because they really nailed it an alien.

290
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: They really did exactly anyway, h the doc and the

291
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: acting captain, they they're part of uh you know. Marrow

292
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: has said, everybody go off in pairs. They go off

293
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: to try to figure out how to catch the alien.

294
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: Marrow begins the interrogations. We learned that one of the

295
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: crew is potentially a recovering addict and was off camera

296
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: for ten minutes, but he seems very sincere in his

297
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: refutations of him being the saboteur. Elsewhere down in engineering,

298
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: we have stirrings. First of all, the stirrings of a

299
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: class conscience, consciousness. As the older like Irish engineer is

300
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 1: telling me, I think this is Laddin. This is how

301
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: it always is. You think there won't be a hierarchy

302
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: in space, and you get to yeah, get to space,

303
00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: and then there's a hierarchy out here. But what also

304
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: stirring is the fucking tadpoles and they.

305
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 2: They are also having a close consciousness discussion. They're like, yes,

306
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: out here, like we could run better than this, we

307
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: could run better than this.

308
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: Well, young engineer vomits blood and collapses Meanwhile in the

309
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: doctor in the lab. The doctor realizes, oh shit, the

310
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: eye is running around. Now shit is really starting to

311
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: unravel with an alacrity.

312
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 2: Yes, now it starts to get like fully grotesque, like

313
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 2: alien are.

314
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: Very, very, very bad. So meanwhile, there's an emergency in

315
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: the med bay because of this young engineer. The doctor leaves,

316
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: leaves the science lab and seals it because we don't

317
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: know where this fucking eye is. Morrow is questioning Tang.

318
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: Tang is way too cool to not be involved. But

319
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: I guess he's not involved. Somehow we find he's just

320
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: he's like. Imagine this very weird guy.

321
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 2: Imagine if you're like the office creep right, and all

322
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 2: day every day you're just trying to creep and you're

323
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 2: like so aware of it, and you're like, oh man,

324
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 2: everyone's gonna notice me creep in on this day when

325
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 2: the aliens break out of the med bay, breakout of

326
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 2: the lab, you are so happy because you can smoke

327
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: twenty five cigarettes, you can creep on the girl, and

328
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 2: you are like low low low on the on the

329
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: kind of tempole of bad things going on on the Imagine, Oh, it's.

330
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: It's very tough. Let me just say male Asian actors

331
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: have been losing on streaming. We hear the one is

332
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: the office creep and on slow horses. He's like, literally

333
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: the most annoying character ever put to my television screen.

334
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: That being said, we move on, We move on. Tangman says,

335
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: don't you see it? It's right in front of your face.

336
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: You don't realize what's going on. This is when I'm oh,

337
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: there's two eyes and one of them ownership and he's

338
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: one of them. This is not the case. I was

339
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: completely wrong about I like that. But he basically says.

340
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: He basically tells Marrow like someone else is awake and

341
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: knows how to get out of their maybe sets a

342
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: timer or something and is secretly sneaking out of their

343
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: their cryopod. The question is who. Marrow then goes back

344
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: to his office to kind of crush film and try

345
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: and figure out who it could be. He looks at

346
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: all the deleted files on the ship and discovers that

347
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: the chief engineer had been talking to a boy cavalier

348
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: about purposely crashing the chip on Prodigy territories so that

349
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: Prodigy could just swoop up the Aliens. Marrow heads off

350
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: to confront him and I will say I was shockingly

351
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: impressed by whaland Utani's privacy protocols that this conversation didn't

352
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: immediately trigger some kind of alarm that you could erase

353
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: that and actually someone would have to go in and

354
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: look at it to figure out that, like obvious corporate

355
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 1: espionage was occurring.

356
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: I think the interesting thing about trying to do retro

357
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 2: futuristic sci fi in a world where we are living

358
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 2: in like a high tech security surveillance state is a

359
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 2: lot of what you find yourself questioning are those things

360
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 2: that when Alien was originally made in seventy nine were

361
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 2: not the biggest concerns of like freedom and how you

362
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 2: would have freedom. So it is really funny to think, like, wait,

363
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 2: you could do that and it wouldn't just be flagged

364
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 2: by the word sabotage like let alone anything else?

365
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: And why do you, like, how do you how do

366
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: you just know you could just call Cryo? Yeah, And

367
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: how do you just cold call Research Islands and Prodigy

368
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: Territory by the way, to talk to a guy that

369
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: wasn't born when you left Earth? Like how do you

370
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: even fucking know?

371
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: A lot of questions You're raising some good questions that

372
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 2: I feel like must be answered by the end of

373
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 2: the season.

374
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, we gotta kind of figure out me like, probably

375
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: boy Cavalier or somehow like contacted the ship, but like, Okay,

376
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: how do I suspect because I don't.

377
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 2: I think there's gonna have to be a connection between

378
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 2: boy Cavalier and Whale and Utani that we haven't yet

379
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: understood because he has too much knowledge of their tech.

380
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 2: And also then Morrow finds it too easy to get.

381
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 3: Into his tech.

382
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 2: So I think maybe there's some kind of crossover there.

383
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 2: There's something about the way the boy Genius bought like

384
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 2: he bought secrets or he stole tech or something, or

385
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 2: he was a you know, Whalen Utani.

386
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, because again, how would this guy know something he is?

387
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: This company started, yeah, while they were in space like

388
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: did not exist when they like.

389
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 2: Did it as soon as they go out for the

390
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 2: little like well, I guess they do establish that they

391
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 2: have to get out like every six months or every

392
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 2: year or whatever is to like eat food and like

393
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 2: smoke a cigarette and then get back in.

394
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 3: I guess, so maybe it's something like.

395
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 2: Yeahh boy Genius was just paging people like, hey, guys

396
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 2: want to do it?

397
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 3: Corpri Esper.

398
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: You don't know me at all, because I wasn't bored

399
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: when you left. But my name is I just started

400
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: this company called Proty of the Earth. We don't apparently

401
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: Marblo's Akryo. He finds the chiefs pot empty, so it's

402
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: one hundred percent that guy. But before he can continue that,

403
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: there's another fucking alarm on the ship from med Bay.

404
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: Margo's over there. He tells the acting captain who's watching

405
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: through the glass, watching like a procedure wrapping through the glass,

406
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: that it's the chief engineer, but she can't really focus

407
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: because she's watching them deal with this young engineer who's

408
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: like vomiting blood and they're scan him. He's got like

409
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: he's getting eat up from the inside. He's got all

410
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: these like gross cockroaches in him.

411
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 2: They kind of like bugs and yeah, so scary.

412
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: They open them up and it's like ticks they call them.

413
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: He's filled with ticks. It's not ticks, come on, it's

414
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: like a tick.

415
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 2: That's a giant slog gets kind of similar to the

416
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 2: slug that we saw in the Sandwich.

417
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 3: Very gross, and I did really.

418
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 2: Love this moment, which I felt like again was like

419
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: a kind of new ish moment that you see where

420
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 2: when they pull them off, they kind of release the

421
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 2: spoils gas and the two other people die.

422
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 3: Like sorry guys, but.

423
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 1: We're skipping ahead. Uh. Meanwhile, this is happening elsewhere. The

424
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: alien drops from the ceiling and kills Tang, who I

425
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: thought was going to be more involved with the story,

426
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: but is immediately.

427
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 3: Take Yeah, I know, I was surprised by that.

428
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, as I was like, are they

429
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 2: really just gonna kill Tang or is this gonna come back?

430
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: I feel like they can't just kill him, but sure,

431
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 2: we'll see.

432
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: Morrow meanwhile, is like stop doing surgery on this guy,

433
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: like that's he's supposed to just cry o him, Like

434
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: we're not supposed to be doing this, dude, But they

435
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: continue that. They continue the surgery, which credits to the

436
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: doctor whose hippocratic oath apparently still exists in this future,

437
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: and that's when the bug releases the fart gas.

438
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

439
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: So Marrow is and they start reacting like they might die. Honestly, yeah,

440
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: they're dying.

441
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 2: A bleed in the bleed in.

442
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: They're not going to make it. So Marrow hits like

443
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: the freeze everything button that basically shoots, like I don't know,

444
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: some kind of like liquid nitrogen type very cold substance

445
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: into the room and freeze everything. Everything is dead now

446
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: except the bugs, which are still kind of like running.

447
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 2: As we said, they can exist in the deep vacuum

448
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 2: of space. They can exist in a call dry.

449
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: The cold is not working on it. News then comes

450
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: that Tang is dead, folks. It's all going sideways, very

451
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: very quickly. Morrow is like, okay, everybody to the bridge.

452
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: We stay there. We figure out how to get the

453
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: ship in orbit and not on a crash course so

454
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: that we can triage this entire situation. We call down

455
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: to Earth, get a cleaning team sent up here, and

456
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: we secure this whole thing. Okay, I'm in control. Let's

457
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: do this. Morrow is of course, still insisting on delivering

458
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: the specimens safe safely. I'm sure that if you ask

459
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: the surviving crew at this moment, they'd all be like

460
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: fuck that they don't Yeah, I.

461
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: Mean I would, just I'm I'm like, I don't they

462
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 2: they didn't try and kill Morrow quickly enough for me.

463
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 2: I'm like, you know, I get it. He's a main character.

464
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: He has some plow armor and also he is a cyborg.

465
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 2: But I definitely if I was them, I would very

466
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 2: quickly have seen the fact that he is more can.

467
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,959
Speaker 1: I love the murder the murder side of Rosie coming out,

468
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 1: but I one hundred percent agree, And you would be

469
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: would would no one not be justified in being like,

470
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: this guy doesn't care about me. Yeah, he's gonna lets

471
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: you get killed by aliens exactly and kill him and survive.

472
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: Also for a corporation like that may seem even madder

473
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 2: that you're gonna kill come on. But also, you know what,

474
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 2: Joel just pointed out a great point in here, and

475
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: I have to say, I think this is actually in

476
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 2: the credit to this episode, which is a kind of

477
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: crazy episode where they really try and do a lot

478
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 2: and they replace some of the biggest tropes from Alien,

479
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 2: which is a your bandwidth will vary on that. But

480
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: Joel just said, you know, oh, you know, we actually

481
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 2: saw all of their corpses. We knew they already died

482
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: by this point in the episode. I was actually so

483
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 2: invested in all of them that I really was shocked

484
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 2: when Tang died. I didn't see that coming, like and

485
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 2: I did well, even though like I had seen it,

486
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: I kind of. I was engrossed enough at this point

487
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 2: that there was still a level of suspense an entree,

488
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 2: even though we knew the outcome.

489
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: It's a good point that I just thought he would

490
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: be more involved in this episode's story than he was,

491
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: because he had such a I want this baby. I

492
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: wan't know why he cares, because the ominous energy coming

493
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: off of him was it felt like there was more there,

494
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: So I was very surprised to see him.

495
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 2: We felt like the reason that he was invested in

496
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 2: the other woman in the pod was probably because he

497
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 2: was a synth and he was protecting the aliens. But

498
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: then we saw obviously that Morrow is the cyborg. Morrow

499
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,479
Speaker 2: is the one who is charged with doing that. I

500
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: still think there's more there. I will be I would

501
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 2: be personally surprised if we don't see that followed up

502
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 2: on even a little bit at some point throughout the

503
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 2: rest of the season, because, like you said, it was

504
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 2: a very ominous introduction and it felt like it was

505
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: hinting at more.

506
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Morrow gets into a shootout with the chief engineer

507
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: who suddenly appears. Meanwhile, the bugs are just running around everywhere.

508
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: The Eye is out and running around a marrow impales

509
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: the chief with his blade hand and then the captain

510
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: acting captain runs into the fully adult alien. We get

511
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: a chase. She runs into the old engineer, who now

512
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: has the eye in him. Ah, so scary by the

513
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: eye and this means very yet say what happens next,

514
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: because I think you can't really unless you're gonna have

515
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: like the big yoga oh no sunglasses, Like it's very

516
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: it's very noticeable.

517
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 2: And this guy had kind of a big head like me,

518
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 2: like has a tiny head. If they put the eye

519
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: in there, you're gonna.

520
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: Know you're gonna see it.

521
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 2: You're gonna see it.

522
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: So Morrow comes crawling out of the vents. He's moving

523
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: around through the vents, which I just love that he's

524
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: doing that. The alien. The engineer kind of like shouts

525
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: in this very strange way that I couldn't I couldn't

526
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: decide if he was At first I thought, oh, he's

527
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: calling the alien because the alien shows up. But then

528
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, was he warning them, trying to warn them

529
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: that hey, the xenomorphous here?

530
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 2: Because then is what I couldn't work out is like

531
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: it definitely sounds similar to the sounds that we've kind

532
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 2: of heard Wendy hearing. So it's definitely some kind of communication.

533
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 2: But I did wonder if it's like, was the engine

534
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: it because he was taken.

535
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 3: Over by the eye.

536
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 2: He could only communicate that way, so maybe that's why

537
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: it sounded like that.

538
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 3: But it did seem like he yells.

539
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 2: Something strange, kind of sounding a bit like a rap to,

540
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 2: like a.

541
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 3: Kind of thing.

542
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: And then the alien arrives.

543
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and now because of what happens next, because they

544
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: begin fighting, like he's like, Okay, let me, it's not

545
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: my body. I don't give a shit. I'm gonna try

546
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: to fight this alien. So they try fight, and so

547
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: a good guy?

548
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 2: Is that?

549
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: What is the idolist?

550
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 2: Like secretly a good guy?

551
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: It's very let's discuss this. Let's pause on that, because

552
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: I want to discuss it. I will say that all

553
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: the the way the plot is pointing, is it. The

554
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: story certainly wants you to empathize with the eye, and

555
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: I'm definitely pro I at this point. And the engineer's

556
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: body gets absolutely torn up in this fight because there's

557
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: no way that a human is anywhere near as strong

558
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: as an alien, and the eye pops out and survives,

559
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: but then also tries to get in that the alien

560
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: has no eyes really but it's but the alien was

561
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: struggling with the eye was really like trying. It was

562
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: like the fucking thing off me, which was also very interesting.

563
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: And then from there it's basically what we've seen. Mara

564
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: runs into the mother panic room, the acting captain's pounding

565
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: on the door, He welds the door shut, gets into

566
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: the survival pod and lives. And then we get flash

567
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: forward to the present. Moorrow is meeting with new Utani

568
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: somewhere where are the meeting by the way, where is

569
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: this happening? I guess there's a ship on the on

570
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: the top of this building that they're meeting at. So

571
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: I guess they exfiltrated him from the Prodigy Island to Territory.

572
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 2: Maybe or maybe before maybe he landed. Yeah, there's an

573
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 2: embassy passing New Siam. I don't know, because he was

574
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 2: in the cap He was in the capsule, and then

575
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 2: it seemed like he woke up in New Siam, but

576
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 2: that could also be a fake out.

577
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 3: I guess he could have gone here first.

578
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 2: And well, I.

579
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: Think this is clearly this is clearly this is.

580
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 2: Clearly happening in them be An arbitration yet, right, so

581
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 2: this is I think this is clearly happening, like after

582
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 2: the events of the previous episode, like in the in

583
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 2: the present continuity, they managed to grab him off Prodigy territory.

584
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: Bring him to Utani territory, and we learned that Utani's

585
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: grandmother of the original Utani og Utani took him, took

586
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: him off the streets. He was a boy with like

587
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: a paralyzed armor, like a withered arm or something. Yeah,

588
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 1: he had some kind of a cyborg yeah. And he promises, listen,

589
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: not only am I getting all the cargo, I'm gonna

590
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: kill boy Cavalier too. I'm gonna kill him.

591
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 3: She's I'm gonna fucking kill that bitch, and you really.

592
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 2: Will hold kill him.

593
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 1: Hold on, My lawyers are handling. We're an arbitration right now.

594
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: With the lawyers trying to figure out like the returning

595
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: to thing. He's like no, no, no, no, no.

596
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 3: He said, unless the lawyers are soldiers.

597
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 2: He was like, we're doing this my way.

598
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: So and so, like, you know what, give him give

599
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: him the unlimited Utani Platinum card.

600
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 4: Dude.

601
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: It's it's like in Batman and Robin when he's like.

602
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: Put it on my bat visa or whatever.

603
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, he's got like he's got the Utani

604
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 2: Master cod the your Tani Venmo account.

605
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 3: She said, put it on the cash, app him the.

606
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 2: Money, do what he needs to do.

607
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: Let's seek a quick break and then we'll discuss our

608
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: thoughts about this episode. And we are bad.

609
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 3: Okay.

610
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, the I I here's my concern because I

611
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: am pro I, I am Jason is officially pro I,

612
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: and this true God is a visually pro iky I

613
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: me Joel am wondering if this now is gonna put

614
00:35:53,719 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: us into conflict with Wendy, who is pro xenomorph, because

615
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: are the Eye and the Xenomorph like natural enemies or

616
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: will there be like a like a broader team up

617
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: of Xenomorph and Eye and and Synthetic against the people.

618
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: Because I'm I.

619
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 2: Think that you're right to be pro I at this point.

620
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 2: I think the Eye is doing its little best and

621
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 2: it's seeing what it can see.

622
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 3: With its eight lenses or whatever.

623
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 2: I think that it is unclear where we're at at

624
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 2: this point, because I did find it very interesting that

625
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 2: we had that moment of the fire of the the

626
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: engineer actually fighting and trying to like bite through the

627
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 2: neck of the zenim off with the eye and this eye.

628
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 3: It's interesting.

629
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 2: I'm intrigued, but I think that ultimately that will put

630
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 2: the Eye on the side of Wendy, because I think

631
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 2: we're supposed to be on the side of it.

632
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: I do wonder because we're talking about too kind of

633
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: clearly like apex creatures, like not just to not being

634
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: the top alien. Joelle puts a very trenching observation in

635
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: the chat that in episode one oh one, we had

636
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: that moment where Wendy pre procedure, was looking at the

637
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: scorpion in a tank and is having that conversation with Kersh,

638
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: where Kersh is like should I kill it? Like what

639
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: if he's just protecting his friend? So I think the eye, well,

640
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if the eye is protecting anyone, but again,

641
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: it's fascinating know that the eye tried to warn the

642
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: science officer that the bugs were out, So I think

643
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna be allied with the Eyes somehow.

644
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 2: I think that you're right that. I also thought that

645
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 2: was interesting because the science officer and then have kind

646
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 2: of science pal who is the who with the two

647
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 2: doing the sagery. They were the most kind of humane,

648
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 2: like sensible people that we met, based on like the

649
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 2: kind of conversations they were having, the thoughts they had

650
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 2: about the ship.

651
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 3: So I'm interested in that.

652
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 2: I'm also intrigued as to whether or not, like is

653
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 2: the eye gonna exist inside the sheep goat? Is it

654
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 2: still alive? Like what are we thinking about that? Like

655
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: is it gonna take over somebody else? Does the I

656
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 2: go into Nibs and then Nibs becomes like an a

657
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 2: oh or Wendy and becomes like an alien synth human

658
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 2: hybrid or something. But I think I too and pro

659
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 2: I I'm interested to see if there is a pro

660
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 2: zenomorph kind of movement from Wendy or if the Xenomorph

661
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 2: is essentially gonna be like a dog in Wendy's fight. Also,

662
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 2: I will say lots of complaints going on in the

663
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 2: world about not enough goo on the alien, and I

664
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 2: have to say this episode definitely not gooey. I didn't

665
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 2: think the alien was gooey enough, really, I mean, I

666
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 2: thought it was very dry. When you say he's shiny

667
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 2: but dry. I think it that the Xenomorph needs to.

668
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: Be someone's sweet on that alien.

669
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 2: Somebody spell on him. Little him up anyway. Okay, So

670
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 2: Joelle has a great question. Ni, Yeah, yeah, do you

671
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 2: think this is one of the interesting things about watching

672
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 2: a movie, watching a show based on a movie that

673
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 2: came out before other formative movies. So do you think

674
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 2: this episode holds up as an alien story or does

675
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 2: it feel more like a rip off of the kind

676
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 2: of paranoia, body horror of like the Thing.

677
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 1: I mean, you see the influences of certainly the thing

678
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 1: in there.

679
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,280
Speaker 3: I will I think it's different.

680
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: I think it's different that that. Until she brought it

681
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: up in the chat, I really was not thinking about it. Yeah,

682
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: I will say that obviously I love the alienness of this,

683
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: But strangely counterintuitively, the parts that kind of work the

684
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: least for me are the parts where they are putting

685
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: their finger on the most obvious like alien reference. It's

686
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: like the cafeteria cross top scene just didn't. It's like,

687
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,959
Speaker 1: how do you how do you improve on perfection? I believe,

688
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: I truly believe that that is so good? I don't know.

689
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 1: So it's that kind of thing that works the least

690
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:17,439
Speaker 1: for me, where whereas all the stuff that's inspired by

691
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 1: inspired by the esthetic and the look and is just

692
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: kind of like letting the story unfold in that setting

693
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 1: works the best for me. I think so too.

694
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 2: I think the stuff that is more unique and that

695
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 2: they're introducing, even like the notion of the eye and stuff,

696
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 2: is the stuff that works the best. I think it's

697
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 2: different enough to me from the Thing, because I think

698
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 2: a major part of the horror of the Thing is

699
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 2: like not knowing who to trust based on like what

700
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 2: is residing inside them. But this is all about kind

701
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 2: of knowing what's residing inside the person and still not

702
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: knowing what to trust, which I.

703
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 3: Think is like a different conversation.

704
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if I was invested in all the characters,

705
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 2: but I really like the new engineer.

706
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 3: I thought that was a good role.

707
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 2: I felt like they did a good job writing these characters,

708
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 2: even though they were.

709
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 3: Any next for a little while. But Jason, that kind.

710
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 2: Of leads to the next question, which is you in

711
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 2: a situation with the first episode where you were like,

712
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 2: the time on the ship is unnecessary.

713
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 3: We know, like who cares, We've.

714
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 2: Seen alien, we know what's gonna happen, It's gonna crash.

715
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 2: How do you feel post this episode?

716
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: Do you feel I feel it, I feel it even

717
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: probably that shit. And I would honestly be surprised if anybody,

718
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: if anybody truly thinking about it, didn't kind of agree, Like,

719
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: I love this show, point blank. This is a great episode.

720
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: It's a great show. It's somebody was watched. It's really enjoyable.

721
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: I would ask anyone to look inside themselves and tell

722
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: me the truth. Were you not a little disappointed that

723
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: two out of the final five minutes of this episode,

724
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: of this crackling episode were exactly a scene you've seen before.

725
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: You literally just they just replayed the scene. Why not

726
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: just start there, crash the ship, and then we meet

727
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: the crew later? Like we didn't. I just felt like

728
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: we didn't need it.

729
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 3: That's a good call.

730
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: And I feel even stronger after watching this episode where

731
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna meet the crew, that we could have just

732
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 1: jumped into the story of the kids, crash the ship,

733
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: meet the kids, learn about them because we're going to

734
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 1: meet the crew later.

735
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think that's a good I think

736
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 2: you make a good call.

737
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 3: I also think like just that, and.

738
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: Joelle, do you disagree? Come in here now, hey said Joel,

739
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 1: come in it right now.

740
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 3: Dore you disagree?

741
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 4: No, that was cracking off over here.

742
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 1: I completely agree.

743
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 4: But that's why I wanted your thoughts on it, because

744
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 4: when I first watched it, I really felt strongly that

745
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,919
Speaker 4: I agree with you one hundred percent. When I first

746
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 4: watched the pilot, I was like, Oh, I really like

747
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 4: this scene.

748
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: I liked that we got a little bit.

749
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 4: I love a lot of these actors, and I thought

750
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 4: it was a nice setup of this like very seemingly

751
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 4: peaceful spaceship where you could kind of see the clacks

752
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 4: and the crew and then it literally crashes to Earth

753
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 4: and it's like.

754
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: A really intrigue opening to me.

755
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 4: But I agree with you now that it's like, especially

756
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 4: the last few minutes being exactly the same and not

757
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 4: really revealing anything new like that kind of hurts. And

758
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 4: then I also think, you know, we got so much

759
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 4: of them here, you wouldn't really miss them in the

760
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 4: first episode.

761
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering if there was a more, like if.

762
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 4: The scorpion scene just shouldn't have been the opening because

763
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 4: it seems to be the crush for everything else. So yeah,

764
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 4: and I totally agree.

765
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 3: With you, Jason.

766
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 2: Okay, also let me ask you Joelle join us for

767
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 2: this final question. Then, Okay, we kind of talked a

768
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 2: little bit about the lack of maybe some depth that

769
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 2: we were feeling in the show. People have been talking

770
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 2: about style versus substance. How do you two feel after

771
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 2: this episode? Do you feel, Joelle, like it has.

772
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 3: Brought more to it?

773
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 2: Do you feel like it still needs a little bit

774
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 2: more of that deep a depth? What are you feeling

775
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 2: right right now?

776
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 4: I'm still not feeling the deep well ocean of like

777
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 4: legion contemplation that you would like. And you were like,

778
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 4: I got to cond of play my life the point

779
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 4: of humanity, like ethics, Like you're really swimming in like

780
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 4: a deep thought barrel. You're still a little surfacey here.

781
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 4: What I will say is this show gives you a

782
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 4: lot of space to try to filling gaps yourself, which

783
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,280
Speaker 4: I do wonder if maybe, especially if you're adding onto

784
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 4: a series in a prequel format where you'll have no

785
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 4: control of what comes after, it's kind of nice to

786
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 4: be like, there's some pretty broad things that you can

787
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 4: speculate about as fans that cement a couple of things

788
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 4: and make things a little bit clearer here and there.

789
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 4: It adds to the lore. Yeah, I was watching the

790
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,399
Speaker 4: rock Stars earlier and they were talking about how at

791
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 4: the top of Alien there are governments. Corporations are not

792
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 4: rule where they're an actual government, and I was like, oh,

793
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 4: I totally forgot that. So not only just something happened

794
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 4: to Prodigy at the end of this thing, but like

795
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 4: all of these companies used to have more power, like

796
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 4: have more power now where we are in the show

797
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 4: than they will in the future of the series. And

798
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 4: I thought that that was really intriguing. That is interesting

799
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 4: viewing a lot to like if you're a fan to

800
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 4: munch On, But I think if you're just I don't know,

801
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 4: like an intellectual watcher, it's not that deep.

802
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: I do agree. Listen. I mean I mentioned that the

803
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: boy Cavalier corporate espionage of the ship that's been in

804
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: space for sixty years like doesn't make sense because he

805
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: was like he's thirty or something like he was.

806
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 2: Born Yeah, maybe he's like twenty three maybe and.

807
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: Then launched his company, you know, like maybe fifteen years

808
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 1: ago like so or or probably less. So how does

809
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: he contact them? How do they know who he is? Like,

810
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: there's that kind of stuff. Is to Joel's point, it

811
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: like it's a shallower pool than it appears to me.

812
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 1: But I will say that the style is this. When

813
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: the style is cracking like this, that's you know what

814
00:45:56,719 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like I don't get performances. Yes, and I

815
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: will say that one thing this show did, and I'll

816
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: say it again that I think is is I'm truly

817
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 1: loving is I'm pro Alien. I've never been that's crazy

818
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: and I'm crazy pro yep the I and I gotta

819
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: say like I'm xanomorep curious.

820
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 2: Animal questioning also also as well, well maybe maybe.

821
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 3: Jason, maybe you speak.

822
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 2: I think you're speaking of something quite interesting here too,

823
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 2: with the style of a substance. Is like if the

824
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 2: original Alien movie, which I do believe is like a

825
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 2: perfect movie, if that is so brilliant, has so much

826
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 2: to say about corporate kind of overreach and the way

827
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 2: working class people are used in blue collar jobs and

828
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 2: exploitation of bodies, then maybe Noah Hawley this time just

829
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 2: gets to make something incredibly stylish and entertaining and doesn't

830
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 2: have to be the one adding the juice, adding the depth,

831
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 2: adding the psychological exploration.

832
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 3: Because that is already there in the text.

833
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 2: I have also been reading a lot of reddits the

834
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:15,439
Speaker 2: Alien hardcore fans are not loving how uncannon. This all

835
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 2: is like there are other corporations that were involved that

836
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 2: they haven't heard of.

837
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 3: There were governments.

838
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 2: But I believe, I trust that by the end of

839
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 2: this week are going to have a much more in

840
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 2: line because that's just the nature of what Disney and

841
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 2: twentieth century like nowadays. Kind of cannon.

842
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm very interested.

843
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 2: I think it's another fun, kind of rioteous episode. And

844
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 2: Carmen is a hardcore alien fan who knows the law.

845
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 1: She loves it.

846
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 3: Sucks with this show, she loves it.

847
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,919
Speaker 2: So, you know what, I'm excited what happens next because

848
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 2: this is a pretty crazy.

849
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: Episode, kind of like a Halloween or a Late Friday

850
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: the Thirteenth movie. I am simply like like salivating at

851
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: the reckoning.

852
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 5: I can't Yeah, every cavalier get killed, ready, we need

853
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 5: to see him, wait for him on the rest of

854
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 5: these fucking like uh animal experiment scientists like human vampires

855
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 5: to absolutely get ran through.

856
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: By some aliens.

857
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 4: I can't wait and contemplate this. Everyone thinks that they

858
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 4: stumbled upon the ship. He has not confided in anyone

859
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 4: that we've seen that.

860
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 2: That's a great like the guy I thought was like

861
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 2: his closest like Hench.

862
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,919
Speaker 4: He was like, yo, we should probably give the back Yeah. Yeah,

863
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 4: and then and then you know, the scientists obviously don't know.

864
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 4: So is he acting completely solo? Is this completely just

865
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 4: hid mission or again, are there additional members of the team.

866
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 4: We don't know about.

867
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 2: Additional interest from outside of Prodigy. That was great, Joel,

868
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 2: thank you for joining us. I appreciate you coming in

869
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 2: last minute. And you can't wait to talk pre round

870
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 2: table pre roundtable roundtable, can't wait to talk about this more, Okay,

871
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 2: and Joelle says she believed. I just want to say

872
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 2: common says she believes that he is being puppeted.

873
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 3: He is a puppet with Cavalier, the boy Cavalier is.

874
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 2: A puppetulated by am which makes a lot of sense.

875
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 2: But I'm I'm still interested. I don't know.

876
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 3: I don't know who's puppetting him.

877
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 2: They definitely they did have a good moment last week

878
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 2: which a lot of people caught onto, which.

879
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 3: Was they miss quoted.

880
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,240
Speaker 2: They said it was like it it was an asthmav quote,

881
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 2: but it.

882
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 3: Was actually Arthur C. Clarke or the other way round.

883
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 2: So they're kind of playing into the ideas that he's

884
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 2: dumb and that he doesn't really know what he's talking

885
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:43,919
Speaker 2: about and he's kind of a show off.

886
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, it will be interesting to see.

887
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 2: Only only three episodes left, guys, so very interesting to

888
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 2: see as we head towards the inevitable horrible death of

889
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 2: boy Cavalier fingers.

890
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,799

Speaker 1: live up to the highs of the first episode, what

894
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: legacy the conjuring series leaves in its horrific wake, and

895
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: whether or not to switch to is really an upgrade.
