At least according to today's press releases.

I have seen them (I watched them at 1AM UK time today)
Ermβ¦it's a TV show type story and so it'll be fairly episodic in pace. It's a divided memory story with identity at its core (And a big scary beastie kicking about) but certainly has legs and promise
But 2 episodes aren't enough to do the full story justice.
Without spoiling anything all I can say is that they missed out by not having the well known Thai mannequins in it (Yet, at least).
I think you'll enjoy it well enough but be wanting for more, now

At the end of episode 2 (Spoiler time!)β¦
I didn't understand why the xeno took Joe Dimaggio out of the egg room instead of killing him. It seemed to have pace in the tracking shots leading up to it (And it took the elevator?
) and so why not just kill him?
But then we have that whole moment before it got stun gunned by that cyborg/android guy. It was taking a moment to savour/scan Joe before it went in for the kill even though it took out an entire dinner party in seconds just before that. Does Joe have some sort of history with that xeno? Is he somehow already infected? Why didn't it kill him in the egg room and take out the two synths?
These questions, and more, this time next week!
And then when the Predator was drinking the blue milk out of that Dalek helmet I was likeβ¦NO WAY!
But, I suppose it knows what it is doing

Yes I didn't understand that either, but I think based on the original Alien and Aliens, they do take some people to cocoon for implantation like they did with Newt and Dallas (in deleted scene).
Regarding Joe and the Xeno, I'm not sure. I know at some point we will probably get a backstory or flashback as to what exactly happened and why he is the way he is.
My biggest question is, how did they get the eggs there? Did someone from that space crew haul them in along with the other weird space creatures? I know they had facehuggers in there as well, but I'm not sure if they just captured them wandering around? Or did one of the facehuggers implant someone with a queen who is laying the eggs? -

Not only how did the eggs get there, but what's with that blue laser beam that sort of guards them or keeps them inanimate?
In the original movie that, and the mist, is all part of the mystery. But between this, and Romulus, we know that it seems to be a staple associated with them. That has to be explained also
β¦and then once the Ghostbusters show up and take down Thanosβ¦well, I just thought they'd tried too hard with it all. But I'm guessing they know something that we don't

Delayed releases should always be embarrassed Slash dot
I mean it's no Robocop 3 delay, but stillβ¦you are right.
Everyone involved with this release being delayed should hand their head in shame
