(episode review) - Alien: Earth - Episode 7

 

 

This is the penultimate episode, I believe, and in true alien fashion, everything goes to shit and quickly. If you are not up to speed with the show, this might be a spoiler, while I bring you up to speed, so please be warned. I will try to limit the details as much as possible. As we have seen in previous episodes, Morrow is after the specimen for Weyland-Yutani due to the corporation giving him purpose, so he is simply doing his job by any means necessary to stay alive and is using Slightly to achieve his goals. Slightly, scared for his family is pressured to carry out a task he does not want to do, which leaves Arthur incapacitated. Arthur was fired because he and his wife want to do what is morally right for the children, but Dame (the wife) goes against her morals just to keep her job, although one of the children flipped out on her a few episodes ago. That same child thought she was pregnant, but Wendy told her what had happened, making Wendy realise she is in fact, property of The Boy Kavalier and he can do whatever he likes. The Boy Kavalier makes a deal with the Weyland-Yutani Corporation because he thinks he can use the quarantine time to somehow communicate and or use the Xenomorph for his own gains, but Wendy is the only person who can and her brother is trying to get her off the island because he does not think they are safe and this is further proven when Isaac goes into the lab and an accident occurs.

Since we are now up to speed, it was telegraphed in a few episodes prior to the capabilities of Wendy, a tech manipulator, and now she can communicate with the xenomorph, so a team-up was bound to happen, but how the episode ended, wow. Kirsh has been playing 4D Chess, which makes more sense now as the episodes play out episode by episode. It has been somewhat slow-ish, but we have been watching the slow domino effect of one action leading to another and the hubris of humans thinking they are smarter than other creatures. The Ocelus has shown intelligence from the beginning, so now Boy Kavalier is on a quest to find a host for it in hopes of communicating with it, and Wendy wants to save all the children by taking them away from Boy Kavalier with her brother, and Slightly is struggling to fulfil his mission for Morrow. I have no idea what the final episode will be, as I am assuming the island is no longer safe for anyone at present, but the Boy Kavalier is going to try and communicate with the Ocelus, and I assume it will kill him, telling him he is inferior to it. With that said, anything can happen, but I feel like I can guarantee a few survivors like Kirsh, Morrow, Wendy, Hermit and that Ocelot. I mean, what will season 2 look like? It is so hard to say, but maybe nobody will die but a few minor characters, maybe, and season two is when things really get interesting. Great episode of this show...great!
