I guess, without Ridley show will be more straightforward and will have less "WTF is this?" stuff. I'm not sure though: take it as positive or negative ?
I don't know if I'd say that, since all of the 'WTF' stuff was there when Guzikowski brought the project to ScottFree in the first place. The finale's ending, birth and all, was one of the first things he actually pitched to Ridley when they met.
Ridley was responsible for a lot of the look of the production - pushing Guzikowski towards making the Androids' blood white (Guzikowski was afraid of ripping off
Alien there, but Ridley essentially said 'f**k it'), bringing some of that Moebius aesthetic that is prominent in the costuming and architecture (gotta love Ridley's electric razor being the basis for the ship Mother and Father arrive to Kepler-22b on
), hiring past collaborators like Luke Scott, Sergio Mimica-Gezzan, Carlos Huante, Marc Streitenfeld, etc.
The core narrative stuff all came from Guzikowski's writing and wasn't really tampered with by Ridley, but Ridley helped nail show's visual language in those first two episodes and set a lot of precedent for what was to come.
