Spoilers folks
What did you think of the second episode?
What stood out to you in the episode the most?
What are your predictions for the third episode?
Ask away or mention anything related to Alien: Earth S1 E2 (Mr. October) below.
I only have questions -
The hazmat guy. Why was he focused on twice? Why has he not made a dent in any of those repairs and what the hell caused the damage?!
I want to know how this will all be contained/covered up considering in Alien “the company” knew about Xenomorphs but most other people do not.
Where did the eggs come from? Were they retrieved from Planet 4? Somewhere else?
I like how the Boy Genius explained why he created the human-synthetic hybrid. Just so he could have a conversation on his level eventually.
Mr. October at first I thought was bad and this episode shows he is just on task.

There’s a ‘balancing act’ (if you may,) to story/character pacing in this art form. Go too quickly, and you’re audience might become overburdened with details. Slowly ‘drip’ those details or story beats and your audience might find your movie/TV show ‘uninteresting,’ ‘lacking,’ or 'dull. ’ On the discussion page for the first episode, I shared how I was very impressed with their pacing of the show. They are establishing lots of threads to explore and I’m enjoying it.

He’s been an interesting character to learn. They’ve shown how childlike he is, and that allows for challenging and intriguing interactions and conflicts. The interaction between Dame Sylvia and him made me feel the conflict I figure she’s facing. It will be interesting where she ends up at the end of episode 4-5.
I love how ambiguous Boy Kavalier comes off. And having him state that he wants someone smarter than him to have discussions with is a great story subplot. =)
