Theories - How do you think the Alien will arrive on Earth in the Noah series?

Aliens also follows the plot of Alien near bloody beat for beat.

Gotta agree here. Seeing the double bill last month really shows it off. I hadn't watched them like that before, and the story beats are so similar.

Off topic but I find Cameron pulled off the same trick with T1 and T2; same beats just more bombastic

Moving from Lovecraftian-alike cosmic horror into action space thriller is radical but it was well executed.

But ALIENS didn't really change that much from ALIEN aside from horror to action-horror. The movie's core plot was still about humans struggling against the xenomorph. There was no radical plot change aside from style and pacing.

Hawley is shifting the focus away from the xenomorph (as well as rendering Ripley's quest moot before she was even born) and turn it into Blade Runner or something.

How do you know that? Have you read the script? We haven't even touched the surface of this series. We know nothing really.

In the unlikely event that an alien actually makes a cameo between all the corporate intrigue and "exploration of what it means to be human" bullshit, I might glance at it.

I listened to a podcast interview with Hawley where he said he "wouldnt know what to do with just a bug hunt" and he aims to do a show that would still be compelling if all the genre stuff is removed from it. He has said similar stuff about Legion.

I can't wait for @SiL and @[cancerblack] to see this show.

I don't even watch shows I want to see.

No I haven't read the script, I am going off the scant leaked information we have as of now. I am not optimistic over the information that I have read. Maybe Hawley will pull a Ridley Scott and surprise us all, I doubt it though.

Ridley Scott's surprises haven't gone down too well on here.

Don't be singling here out. Facebook is far more Neanderthal about it.

Twitter is the worst. Can't do a Ridley Scott search without getting a bellyful of how he ruined the franchise.

He might be remembered among the filthy casuals as the ruthless executioner of Blomkalien⁵. But to many of us he is a hero

He is a hero, not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed.
