I enjoyed first 2 episodes. I will have to see how this goes down in the next few.

I refuse to watch this crap

Violence in the Aliens franchise has always been meaningful (in the good films anyways). The aliens are supposed to be traumatising to us.
The baseball scene is just ****ing daft and out of place in such a production. He has just survived an attack from an alien being and seen people torn apart. Hardly the time or place for a calming reflective scene is it? It's crap writing and direction - just admit this to yourself.
do you really want to know the life history of every red shirt?
What a boring strawman. I feel like you aren't even trying anymore. Just admit that you hate to agree with TCD because you hate his viewer demographic. This is painfully obvious to everyone reading along.

back to your op topic
using these bit characters as proof of lazy writing is missing the point. they aren't meant to be characters, they are objects used to world build.
do you really want to know the life history of every red shirt? these people are tropes and it's an hour show. they need to keep things moving.
the reggie jackson ball was supposed to make people connect with the characters emotionally. but you need to have emotions that aren't stunted or perhaps have a passing interest in baseball, so that manipulation won't work on everyone.
i suggest you do some research and then do a bit of writing yourself instead of regurgitating content grifter talking points from your armchair.
contribute something positive to the world instead of always bitching about it. it will be difficult, but the satisfaction of adding something to the universe may help you start filling that void.

Of course… you are a Hep fan
Makes perfect sense
Alba gu bràth

you know, those hep-isms will never, ever stop being hilarious and fresh
but why prove fugazi right when it comes to how much you try to project onto others?

I’ve hurt you with this
Alba gu bràth

okay.
it's kinda creepy how much you care about all this

A tacit concession
Thanks for playing
Alba gu bràth

umm.. the entire story is ridiculous.
positive or negative, many of those scenes were clear emotional bait. no need to take the bait.
and since it clearly worked, i guess it wasn't completely **** writing

It’s a reach and you know it. A poorly constructed metaphor for the sake of having a metaphor
It’s **** writing
As is the scene when he finds the baseball. He has just been fighting with a violent mass-murdering monster and then all of a sudden he is taking a tranquil stroll down memory lane?
Again… **** writing

Out of touch they are? By not feeling in danger when a massive spaceship crashes into their building?
yes
they've never been in danger their entire lives. they wouldn't even know how to process something like that, much less what to do. they would rather fight you than change. they basically live in the matrix. believe it or not, there are actually people like that. perhaps they are even here, right now

Out of touch they are? By not feeling in danger when a massive spaceship crashes into their building?
I’m all for societal metaphors but they still have to make sense to the world in which they exist. Having them dressed as stereotypical aristocracy is just way too on the nose and extremely lazy writing.
Alba gu bràth

he's a slave to the algorithm
gives him woke derangement syndrome
it makes him miss a lot of other stuff
and in turn, influences his followers to also focus on contrived nonsense
the dress party was to show how out of touch aristocrats are, btw
what other issues did you have?
i thought the poor decisions were made at the end, but i'm sure they felt like they needed a cliffhanger.
poor decisions were made throughout by the red shirt, but that was to show there were real stakes involved.

I agree with most of his criticisms but he does push the ‘it’s woke’ button too quickly at times
Alba gu bràth

please tell me more, drinker.. tell me more

I love it too, Donna. But people keep molesting it.
Alba gu bràth

I'm trying to decide whether I should heed your warning about the show. I really wanna see it. I love the Alien franchise.

Did you ever see the TV shows Fargo or Bones?
Noah seems to be able to build a lot on the bones he puts out in early episodes (And sometimes leaves things hanging, but not annoyingly so).
There were parts of the second episode I felt to be a bit foolish and silly, and I expect there to be more scenes which are similar in the future, but overall we set a pace with Wendy, Joe, Morrow and Kavalier and that seems to be on for now.
I think Kirch is my favourite, but between him and Dame I've no clue as to how they'll pull all of that off.
I'm reticently hopeful about it. But I was that way for the first 30 minutes of Prometheus until the helmets came off and so it's all still up in the air for me

What do you mean by that

I think you need to lay off the porn a bit, lad

At first glance it just looks like a bunch of gay lefties, is that what you want these days?
