Hello all! It's been a while, but figured I would post again.
Well, this is certainly an interesting time to be alive. An Alien TV show, eh? From the interview it seems like they are playing with interesting ideas and working hard to make them coalesce into something that will hopefully live up to the legacy of the originals. I know I am not alone when I say that I hope to God that they are able to retain the cosmic horror elements of the original with regard to the Alien. The "Alien as a commodity" can work from many different frameworks; hell, it was THE framework in the original trilogy, but whether or not it can actually be harnessed is a tough call because Resurrection showed just how cartoonish that could be. If the Alien is allowed to retain its mystery and hostility, this could work out very well. One thing I would like to see is Engineer tech discovered on Earth somehow having to do with this story, found through some archeological dig? It could somehow tie into the AI and primordial origins story that were Prometheus and Covenant.
