My name 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:30.520 is Jasconcepcion and I'm Mersey Nike and welcome back to 0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:33.000 X ray VS. We dived video of raby Jo's movie 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:37.960 is probably are bad you? Three episodes a week and loss. 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:43.640 In today's episode, we are recapping episode five of Alien 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:48.720 and boy oh how many times people get step in 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.720 the ship with the alien that always dumb. Don't worry, guys, 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:53.720 let's get into. 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:57.520 It Alien Earth episode five in space No. One dot 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:03.560 dot dot dot dot dot to flashback episode folks All 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:09.160 episode Marrow is woken from cryo to learn that stuff's 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:13.800 going left on the on the ship. There's a fire, 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:18.480 he's told, and potentially some of the creatures are running around, 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:22.920 and also the captain's dead, so that's bad. He gets 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.679 up markets to the med bay and we see that 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:30.399 two crew members have been hugged They are currently being 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:35.960 hugged by the face huggers, and that one of them 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:40.640 was severely burned by the acid blood. Fire is out now, 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.679 but the ships just kind of generally is a mess. 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:48.360 The eggs somehow hatched, the crates were opened. Marrow wants 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.639 to know how He's like, okay, how this all happen? 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:57.800 And the protocol for hugged crew is do not perform 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:01.840 a procedure to try and remove the the creatures. Just 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.600 put them in cry of sleep and we'll figure it 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.040 out when we get to Earth. The other aliens, what's 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.800 up with them? No one's sure, which is bad. 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:16.200 Yeah, I'm also very interested in what this tells us 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:22.080 about the Utawni mission, the kind of like wailing Utani 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.240 overlook of the future, because it's very different to what 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.720 we see an alien This is not a secret mission. 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:34.240 I will also say that I am shocked, shocked, shocked 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:38.120 that they get to this point with so few casualties 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:42.000 that they went. They are potentially various alien worlds and 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:48.000 like truly a ship of bozos anyway. So Mar's like, 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:53.080 what's up with the aliens? Folks are like, well, you 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:57.079 know what, I think they're secure, but I don't want 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:58.400 to go down there. No one really wants to go 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.680 down there, but they all eventually agree to a company 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:06.240 Morrow down there. Morrow is like, I'm going to take 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.240 control of this situation. The engineers want Morrow to launch 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.520 the bodies into space. And Marrow's like, no again. They 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:17.200 go into cryo sleep and now tell me more engineering 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:21.359 department about the damage and apparently the fire damage and 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.760 the navigation and the steering which is kind of like 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.240 important for the ship. And so now they're just kind 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.480 of hurtling out of control towards Earth. Down in the lab, 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.320 it certainly appears as if all the creatures are secure. 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:38.040 Later on, Marrow, who is paranoid, which is how he 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.440 has to be and I guess his job, which is 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:45.760 to make sure everything is secure in guardians, corporate sabotage, etc. 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:49.560 Thinks about the cause of all this. To him, it 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:53.720 looks like sabotage because like the fire happened in just 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:54.560 the right place. 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.160 Yeah, and the random like aliens just happened to make 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.600 it out and nobody knows who opened. 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.520 The boxes, and so yeah, what's going on? 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:05.080 Okay, let's check. 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.800 He speaks to the acting captain about this and is like, 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:13.920 you need to call a shipwide emergency and she's like no, no, no, no, no, 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.920 because that will cause a panic. Everybody will start freaking out. 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.200 Let's why I freaked out? 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:21.080 Alien? 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.719 I know. Let's let's go to mother and punching it 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.120 to mother and see what she says. And Morrow's like, no, 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:32.000 how about this. I know that you've been having an affair, 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:36.720 having a relationship with one of your crewmates who's currently 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:41.839 being hugged by the face hugger sadly, and that's against 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:46.640 company regulations. So how about I dropped the dime on 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:51.840 you and destroy your career and then take control of 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:56.440 this ship, which I absolutely can do. So I have 0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:00.640 been ordered by you Tani herself to make sure that 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.920 this cargo gets to Earth safely. That is priority one. 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:08.039 I don't care about you or the lives of any 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.960 of these other crew members, so declare the fucking emergency 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:11.400 or else. 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.920 And she also, I just want to say big we 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.760 were right for Joel, the super producer. Joel, yes, because 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:19.760 she cool that this was going to be a You 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.920 Tawny ship rather than a wayland ship. So yeah, and 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.320 Morow we're going to find out why he cares so 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:27.960 much about Utani things. 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:32.920 So the weird guy who we thought was a synth 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:38.120 but apparently is not Tang is being weird again to 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.400 one of the crew members in a cryopod, and people 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.520 are like, hey, leave that poor girl alone. He kind 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:47.160 of refuses to do it. Marrow goes to what they 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.320 call the zoo and lots of weird creatures in there, 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:54.520 in various cages and vats. There is one cage door 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:58.440 wide open, which was where the face huggers apparently came from. 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.240 Acid hole in the floor goes down several levels, the 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:05.000 whole bit, the whole alien bit. Marrow goes to his office. 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.920 He watches the security tape he sees the face hugger attack, 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.680 and then he begins to look at all the footage 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.320 to try and find the saboteur, and he finds him. 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:19.560 Oh appears certainly to be a hymn crouching, you know, 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:26.160 suspiciously by some very sensitive materials in hardware. The acting 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:30.080 captain cries over her boyfriend, who currently has the face 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.360 hugger on his face, and she does a little fun 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:38.600 funeral rite and pours some earth dirt on his cryo, 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.720 which is like, who's going to clean that up? I 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:46.200 appreciate the gesture, but, you know, and very touchingly is like, 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.960 we're gonna be home soon, babe, you know. I guess 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.440 thinking that maybe they'll get this thing off his face. 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:57.440 I think that's what that being, at least scheming or performisted, 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:01.359 maybe because they seem to have a protocol for what 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.479 happens if you get face hugged, which makes me think 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.760 that people have been face hugged before. And maybe the 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.560 lie you tell their crew so they don't try and 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.960 do the surgery is, Oh, just put them in the 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:16.120 right the crew, the cryo tanks, and we'll get them back. 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.200 We'll do the thing. But, as we're going to find out, 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:19.520 also bad idea. 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.720 I think you're right because it does certainly seem as 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:24.760 if this is not their first encounter with these creatures, 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:30.760 because Marrow knows the biological process that is happening, as 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:36.600 we will find out later. Morrow meanwhile, is watching the 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:42.239 acting current acting captain having her dalliance with the currently 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:50.400 face hugged boyfriend. Acting captain goes to see mother. Mother 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:55.520 is like, what's up with the cargo. Acting captain says, well, 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:57.560 you know, they got out, but things are stable now, 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:01.239 but we're not really sure about can like one hundred 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.480 percent containment. I couldn't tell you that we're one hundred 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:04.400 percent contained. 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:08.640 Yeah, And she also, well, she asked her something really important. 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.640 She's like, can I destroy the cargo if more crew 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:15.680 life is threatened, and Mother's like, no, fucking absolutely sorry, babe, 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:17.280 you must be mistaken. 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.840 And I'll just say this, there's no there's no Ripley's 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.800 on this ship. There is no one of the there 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.200 is no one of the kind of fortitude of a 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.360 Ripley on this ship, sadly except for Morrow, who is 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:34.560 a sidework anyway. Mother then stresses like, listen, aliens take priority. 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:39.280 We don't care if you die, press enter if you acknowledge, 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:44.640 and she and okay. Mar goes back to his cabin 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:48.960 and listens to the Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter song loves. 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.920 That for him, just this huge fan. 0:08:53.360 --> 0:09:02.760 Will meet again. And then he thinks of his daughter 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:06.760 back on Earth, and we learned that shortly after the 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:10.240 ship launched, he got a telex from Earth that his 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.160 daughter died in a fire. And so that is kind 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:16.320 of why Garrow is the way he is. 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.840 Question was his daughter killed in a fire by Utani 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.040 so that he would have nothing else to live for 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:26.800 except for just like serving the company, or is it 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.560 just a coincidence that then put him in this position 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.320 to be so kind of cold and calculating when he 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:34.040 needs to be. 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.360 I don't think so, because as we do find out, 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:42.120 you Tani the grandmother who is the Utani he knows 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.120 like saved him from. 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.320 Yeah, it sounds like she's kind of like a yeah, 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.000 some kind of maternal figure at. 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.240 Least, so I think he would have been down for 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:59.920 whatever Utani said without a murder plot. Yeah, so that's 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:04.560 really sad. Time passes, there's another explosion. I thought it 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.920 was by this time, I thought Tang is the guy, beautiful, 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:09.920 incredible figure. 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:12.599 I really don't think it was him. 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:14.840 So now the whole crew is like, Okay, there is 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:18.720 one hundred percent of saboteur. Then there's a breach in cryo. 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.520 They get they get that alert and that means the 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:26.240 chest bursters have burst. Did someone defrost theo? I wanted 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.000 to freeze them. I think you can't freeze them. 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:30.719 I think also this. 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:34.959 Proves that for whatever reason, this is the first time 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.360 or at least no reports have gone back about this, 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:42.560 because otherwise surely you would use a more you know, 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.800 chest burst, a proof gloss or something like. It seems 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.880 like too easy for this thing to get through the glass. 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:50.360 I'm like, is a cryopod? 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:50.880 Like? How? 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:52.719 But I guess it is an alien and it does 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:53.720 have acid blood. 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:57.920 So well, it would not be an Alien show if 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:03.720 the scientists technicians were not incredibly stupid, because one of them, 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:07.480 as they're musing, yeah, as they're musing about how this 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:11.120 is possible, one of them says, well, we do know 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.640 that they can survive the vacuum of space. Well, yeah, 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:20.480 if they can survive the the sub zero almost total 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:24.000 zero vacuum of space, then of course they can survive 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:30.440 the cryot tube and running around talking about yeah, soh. 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:35.240 And now basically the plot of Alien is unfolding like 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.319 inside of this other story. Morrow then gives his order, 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.440 aren't takes control out because clearly, like everyone agrees in 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:46.400 a security situation, Morrow is now in control of the ship, 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:48.880 and he tells the crew we're going to capture this thing. 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:52.160 We're gonna go by teams. Everybody goes by twos, nobody 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:58.760 goes alone anywhere, and uh, capture, capture, capture, capture, don't 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:03.480 kill kill. Down in the lab, the experiments, the very 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:09.720 shoddy experiments continue with the eye watching very closely everything. 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.840 That very cool to see that I perspective kind of 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.000 like a fly with multiple lenses. Very fun. 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:20.360 And again I have to say, I think the triumph 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.719 of this show is that it got me to empathize 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:27.400 with the I'm pro alien, right, like, I like. 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.920 Kill something, you know what could happen because of how 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.720 scary this x anomorph is. But this show has actually 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:40.480 done a really fantastic job of getting that very unexpected 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:43.760 little bit of empathy where you are rooting for You're like, yeah, 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.840 go for it, like they out of space and now they're. 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:52.640 Like, hey, hey, blood imbibing bugs kill the people like 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:56.920 you deserve it. So one of the bugs that apparently 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.840 lives on the oxygen in the blood of its victims, 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:06.120 figures out how to open the top of the vat 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:10.679 and I thought this, now, this part was like super interesting. 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:15.160 The eye tries to warn the lady by slapping on 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.280 the glass, is like, hey. 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.360 I thought that was pretty crazy. 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:21.120 That's interesting. 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:24.560 Yeah, does it have feelings for haa? 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:25.520 Was she nice to it? 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.760 I think it's just like hi, I mean, it's clearly 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:32.320 like empathy or something, and just is like hey, look out, 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:36.200 you know, like the thing and the woman does not 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.920 pay any science officer does not pay any attention. The 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:42.880 bug goes and ejaculates in her water, filling it with 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:48.680 hundreds of tadpoles and then climbs through her sandwich to 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.480 kind of try to hide grossly, but is immediately recaptured 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:57.000 and the water insemination goes unnoticed. Meanwhile, the Eye, of course, 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.760 is plotting its escape, and it manages to knock its 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.480 enclosure down onto the ground, smashing glass, and it gets out. 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.640 There is no alarm that, by the way, that goes 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:09.280 off when this happens, which is which is again again, 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:10.600 what are we doing in space? 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:15.240 I think you need you need much better security going 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:16.040 on in this ship. 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.000 How about you, Tani and r Whalen. 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:23.440 How about in space no one notices anything, and in 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.080 space you're all supposed to be in cryer sleep, So 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.200 don't worry about what's going on on the ship. 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:28.680 Guys. 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:35.560 We get the classic alien cafeteria scene. The whole crew 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.840 is there, despite the fact that the captain has died, 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:45.240 aliens have escaped, and that there's a saboteur on board, 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:48.480 and two of the crew members are currently lying with 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:53.680 parasites on their faces. Everybody's kind of in an okay, okay, 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.000 jolly mood because the food's coming out. 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.720 Well, let me ask you this, then, is this like 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.640 in the few sure of alien enough, like is this 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.360 just like a normal really bad day at the office, 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:07.280 Like you you're like aware when you go into this, 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.640 you're like, oh god, man, like it not that somebody 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:15.640 could get Just give me the fucking face hugger at 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.240 this point, man, because I know it's all going badly, 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:19.320 Like I do. 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:20.520 Feel like this section. 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.880 They're all kind of like, oh well, and I'm like, oh. 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:29.720 Okay, guys, sure, So Tangs is smoking. He refused to 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.720 stop smoking. We discover that the fuel is gone and 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.480 they're flying on fumes again. Everybody's kind of very jocular 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.920 and just like, you know, like that very alien before 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.880 the chest burster kind of vibe. We watched the young 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:47.480 engineer of the engineering department just gulp down the science 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:54.480 officers water. Morrow addresses everyone and basically says, listen, the 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.080 investigation is about to get fucking real now because someone 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:03.160 in this room is a saboteur and so just be 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:08.160 aware of that. And if anybody wants a full share, 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.280 they will pass me information that leads to an arrest. 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:17.480 And that's it, and let's take a quick break and 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:42.000 come back. And we're back from from lunch break and 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:42.560 smoke break. 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:43.640 How'd you feel about it? 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:47.680 I will say of this scene, N I will now. 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.360 You know what I would just say it give it 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.360 a group chat, the early group chat, small bit of 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:54.080 rage bait. 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.160 I just didn't like the a d R. I thought 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:01.560 was maybe maybe in the podcast version it will be 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:04.399 it will the sound mix will sound better. But it 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:10.080 sounded so obviously adr and not the kind of naturally 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:14.320 town like talking over each other kind of thing that 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.600 it didn't I don't know, it didn't do it for me, 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.239 this particularly scene. And also it felt weird that like 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.359 maybe to your point, yeah, working for Whalen you Twani 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:27.880 is so crazy, like like dangerous? 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:33.240 Better than Hermit's job? Is this better than mining on Romulus? 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:33.399 Like? 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:34.320 Is it bad? 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:36.879 Because you get good food, you get a little bit freedom. 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.520 It's not constantly, but you get to be in cry 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:43.000 or sleep? Is the hazard worth it? I wonder if 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:44.800 that is what they're trying to tell us it because 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:46.760 everyone is acting real chill about it. 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:49.800 Oh, I said Bob Town. I meant Bob Altman, Robert 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:54.040 all like that kind of Robert Altman. That alien really 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:57.200 nails in that scene and makes it feel like a workplace. Yeah, 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:59.520 this one felt like Joelle the in the chat is 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.840 saying it sticks out because they really nailed it an alien. 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:08.199 They really did exactly anyway, h the doc and the 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:12.359 acting captain, they they're part of uh you know. Marrow 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:14.680 has said, everybody go off in pairs. They go off 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:16.600 to try to figure out how to catch the alien. 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:21.800 Marrow begins the interrogations. We learned that one of the 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:27.159 crew is potentially a recovering addict and was off camera 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:30.840 for ten minutes, but he seems very sincere in his 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:38.840 refutations of him being the saboteur. Elsewhere down in engineering, 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.480 we have stirrings. First of all, the stirrings of a 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:47.520 class conscience, consciousness. As the older like Irish engineer is 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:49.880 telling me, I think this is Laddin. This is how 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:53.000 it always is. You think there won't be a hierarchy 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.280 in space, and you get to yeah, get to space, 0:18:55.760 --> 0:19:00.400 and then there's a hierarchy out here. But what also 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:03.359 stirring is the fucking tadpoles and they. 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:08.880 They are also having a close consciousness discussion. They're like, yes, 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.760 out here, like we could run better than this, we 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:12.800 could run better than this. 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:16.760 Well, young engineer vomits blood and collapses Meanwhile in the 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.560 doctor in the lab. The doctor realizes, oh shit, the 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:23.800 eye is running around. Now shit is really starting to 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:25.880 unravel with an alacrity. 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:30.879 Yes, now it starts to get like fully grotesque, like 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:32.480 alien are. 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:36.159 Very, very, very bad. So meanwhile, there's an emergency in 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:40.720 the med bay because of this young engineer. The doctor leaves, 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.280 leaves the science lab and seals it because we don't 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:50.359 know where this fucking eye is. Morrow is questioning Tang. 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:54.879 Tang is way too cool to not be involved. But 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:58.199 I guess he's not involved. Somehow we find he's just 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.480 he's like. Imagine this very weird guy. 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:04.760 Imagine if you're like the office creep right, and all 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:07.160 day every day you're just trying to creep and you're 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:09.439 like so aware of it, and you're like, oh man, 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:12.840 everyone's gonna notice me creep in on this day when 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:16.000 the aliens break out of the med bay, breakout of 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:18.920 the lab, you are so happy because you can smoke 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:21.280 twenty five cigarettes, you can creep on the girl, and 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:24.399 you are like low low low on the on the 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:29.600 kind of tempole of bad things going on on the Imagine, Oh, it's. 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:34.320 It's very tough. Let me just say male Asian actors 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:39.000 have been losing on streaming. We hear the one is 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:43.240 the office creep and on slow horses. He's like, literally 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:47.359 the most annoying character ever put to my television screen. 0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:52.680 That being said, we move on, We move on. Tangman says, 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:57.040 don't you see it? It's right in front of your face. 0:20:57.200 --> 0:21:01.040 You don't realize what's going on. This is when I'm oh, 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:04.680 there's two eyes and one of them ownership and he's 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:06.320 one of them. This is not the case. I was 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:13.080 completely wrong about I like that. But he basically says. 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:16.600 He basically tells Marrow like someone else is awake and 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:20.119 knows how to get out of their maybe sets a 0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:23.359 timer or something and is secretly sneaking out of their 0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:26.600 their cryopod. The question is who. Marrow then goes back 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:28.560 to his office to kind of crush film and try 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:30.919 and figure out who it could be. He looks at 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:36.119 all the deleted files on the ship and discovers that 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:42.159 the chief engineer had been talking to a boy cavalier 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:47.960 about purposely crashing the chip on Prodigy territories so that 0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:54.000 Prodigy could just swoop up the Aliens. Marrow heads off 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:57.480 to confront him and I will say I was shockingly 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:06.359 impressed by whaland Utani's privacy protocols that this conversation didn't 0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:10.640 immediately trigger some kind of alarm that you could erase 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:13.280 that and actually someone would have to go in and 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:16.760 look at it to figure out that, like obvious corporate 0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:18.360 espionage was occurring. 0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:22.520 I think the interesting thing about trying to do retro 0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:25.960 futuristic sci fi in a world where we are living 0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:30.719 in like a high tech security surveillance state is a 0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:33.639 lot of what you find yourself questioning are those things 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:37.000 that when Alien was originally made in seventy nine were 0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:40.760 not the biggest concerns of like freedom and how you 0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:44.520 would have freedom. So it is really funny to think, like, wait, 0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:46.400 you could do that and it wouldn't just be flagged 0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:50.200 by the word sabotage like let alone anything else? 0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:53.679 And why do you, like, how do you how do 0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:57.040 you just know you could just call Cryo? Yeah, And 0:22:57.080 --> 0:23:01.080 how do you just cold call Research Islands and Prodigy 0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:03.800 Territory by the way, to talk to a guy that 0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:06.240 wasn't born when you left Earth? Like how do you 0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:07.159 even fucking know? 0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:11.600 A lot of questions You're raising some good questions that 0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:13.800 I feel like must be answered by the end of 0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:14.320 the season. 0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:19.000 Yeah, we gotta kind of figure out me like, probably 0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:24.480 boy Cavalier or somehow like contacted the ship, but like, Okay, 0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:25.960 how do I suspect because I don't. 0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:29.080 I think there's gonna have to be a connection between 0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:32.880 boy Cavalier and Whale and Utani that we haven't yet 0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:37.960 understood because he has too much knowledge of their tech. 0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:41.040 And also then Morrow finds it too easy to get. 0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:41.600 Into his tech. 0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:44.640 So I think maybe there's some kind of crossover there. 0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:48.679 There's something about the way the boy Genius bought like 0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:52.399 he bought secrets or he stole tech or something, or 0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:54.400 he was a you know, Whalen Utani. 0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:59.040 Yeah, because again, how would this guy know something he is? 0:23:59.160 --> 0:24:03.280 This company started, yeah, while they were in space like 0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:05.000 did not exist when they like. 0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:06.960 Did it as soon as they go out for the 0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:10.159 little like well, I guess they do establish that they 0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:12.960 have to get out like every six months or every 0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:15.399 year or whatever is to like eat food and like 0:24:15.440 --> 0:24:16.960 smoke a cigarette and then get back in. 0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:19.560 I guess, so maybe it's something like. 0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:24.359 Yeahh boy Genius was just paging people like, hey, guys 0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:24.920 want to do it? 0:24:25.040 --> 0:24:25.720 Corpri Esper. 0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:27.680 You don't know me at all, because I wasn't bored 0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:30.040 when you left. But my name is I just started 0:24:30.040 --> 0:24:36.000 this company called Proty of the Earth. We don't apparently 0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:39.800
