Why was Lope such an uninteresting character?

I actually hate The Last Supper, it sucks.

Feel too much like the last supper in Alien?

Blaspheming over the Easter weekend just feels better than usual.

Not really.  It's obviously riffing on that, but it's just inconsequential.  The most interesting thing about it was Walter making them take poo tablets before bedtime.

Poo tablets?

aye, the Dr. Moreau-Frankenstein hybrid gothic Bond-like villain from Covi doesn't quite work as a satisfying payoff for the more mysterious David's presence in Promi. Although it works as its own thing...almost like a 'what if' scenario.

When you watch Raised By Wolves, with everything and Dariusz Wolski's cinematography *no less*, it seems like a blood relative/spiritual successor to Ridley Scott's Alien prequel narrative; eerie-eldritch AIs, creation, existential horror, monsters, ancient mythology, science vs. Religion...etc.

Raised By Wolves was so good. I thought it was in Alien mythos much of the time.

Poo tablets?

Purgative.

I think the Alien Covenant: Origins book might have fleshed out his backstory a bit more, but that book is rather forgettable.

He's the main character but doesn't flesh him out to any great degree.

Weylax, building better bowels.

I remember actually very much enjoying the time spent with him in the book.

Although the movie novelization was much better, they kind of "forgot" all their previous book characterizations, but then again, they were written out of order.

I liked the book, but it's not a character study. We learn almost nothing about Lope and Rosenthal as people.

Oram's religious fanaticism is interesting.
