Engineers and Black Goo?

[E. Shaw]

So many silly actions happen.

Ledworth saying he is going to take a piss only to just have a ciggy break. Why didn't he just say he was going for a ciggy break?  Hardly an illegal or bad reason.

Hallet putting his face right up to a spore sac.

Rosenthal going off alone etc.

Touching a cobra alien..

Having sex after being on a unknown planet with who knows what pathogens.. I mean just cuz your tech doesn't detect anything bad doesn't mean something isn't there.

Following a android who you saw just try to bond with s Neomorph and then trust him around a bunch of eggs... 

[BigDaddyJohn]

Not wearing helmets, sticking their faces in weird ass eggs after a synthetic weirdo told them it was safe... And the list goes on...

Karine was running ecology samples so I imagine if Ledward had said he was going to smoke a cig, she would've rebutted saying she didn't want him possibly polluting/contaminating the environment with unnatural chemicals and litter.

Given Rosenthal was an armed member or the security team and saw that the Neomorphs could be killed with gunfire, and David was still alive and well within the temple after 11 years, she must've felt safe enough to venture off to clean up her wounds.

With Hallet, the away team just spent the last handful of hours on the planet and hadn't encountered danger, animals, or insects of any kind, and plants/fungi aren't lethal unless touched or eaten, I imagine he didn't think much of it. He also had gloved hands when he did decide to disturb it. I mean, Ledward didn't put his face in front of the spore sac and it still managed to infect him.

So does a lot of characters in a lot of scenes

I don't know, I feel the goo needs a fresh perspective. Anyone but Lindeloff and Spahts this time, just to keep things interesting? Hopefully Fede can find a way to make the black goo terrifying.

[BigDaddyJohn]

Well, there's no Lindelof or Spaihts here, so there's that.

It's frustrating that the damage they caused now needs people to work hard to retrospectively make it work.

I love what Alien: The Cold Forge & Alien: Into Charybdis made with the prequel lore.

Too bad f**k all was done with it.

You mean movie-wise, or what the novel followups do with the plot threads introduced in Cold Forge and Into Charybdis? I've never read em myself so curious.

[SiL]

Either. The novels don't do the same things.

[Highland]

Everyone gave cold forge rave reviews, but I thought it was just "decent"

I was waiting on some twists and turns that just never really hit.

[Nightmare Asylum]

I think Cold Forge is great, but Into Charybdis is even better.

Would love to see White get to tackle another one at some point.

I know they weren't on the picture of his shelf, but some of the stuff I've heard about Romulus almost makes me wonder if these books were among the sources Fede consulted.

I'll do that one next

The novels. Alien: Romulus is the first movie to come out since The Cold Forge was released, and we don't know how it'll handle the subject of the pathogen.
