I watched the two intro episodes and 10 minutes of the 5th standalone episode.
I hated it. It’s the reasons why I dislike series.
Felt like a Disney Channel x Alien crossover.
everytime its almost everytime but the aliens, and the aliens are only side characthers, or cameos. just like with prometheus. its alway adjacent, like some other life form that is also parasitoid. plus they dont have the horror/alien scifi element to the new show.
I thought Prometheus and Alien: Covenant were all right, enjoyable even. More so if you use the Chaos Edition and Ninth Circle Edition fanedits respectively.
With Prometheus in particular, the Chaos Edition removes all the stupidity and adds in deleted scenes that make much more sense (I was shocked to find out that they did actually a more believable version of the script).
Alien was just fundamentally flawed. I don’t mind novel takes on a series or an adaption. I enjoyed Aliens: Phalanx (Alien in medival type setting) even though it had many flaws; YA tropes, deus ex machina type plot device, weak characters, some awkward social messaging.
