The Reel Rejects - ALIEN: EARTH 1x03 Breakdown & Review!!!

Starting point is 00:00:00 Thank you to Huell for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit. Rejignation, I'm interrupting this video to say thank you so much. Oh my goodness, it's xenomorphine time. Last week, we had just launched it. Literally just put it on the website, so I was waiting for my order to come in. And now that it's here, it already looked great just up there, but in person it pops even more. And so many of you guys and gals actually bought one.

Starting point is 00:00:27 Thank you. You have no idea how much it goes. goes to help support the people who work on Post here and the cast here as well at Real Rejects. Thank you so much. If you're not able to buy one, that's A-OK, are able to or now want to, scan the barcode right here on screen. There's also a link of the description box and pinned comment. So happy for how it turned out.

Starting point is 00:00:47 Now I should probably hook up one of the hosts of the Alien Earth videos, these teas. I wonder who it'll be. Anyway, back to the video. All right, we're going to get into the episode now. So get ready. Get your shirts. get episodes get hyped let's go okay

Starting point is 00:01:06 wow my god y'all we just finished watching episode three of alien earth if you're listening to this on apple or Spotify make sure to go and give us five stars also thank you to the people over to prepper for cutting down these highlights oh man let's uh let's start with a terra oh yeah let's go i was putting on chapstead she was

Starting point is 00:01:27 That's why I did it. I really do. I adore it. I mean, they're always like above and beyond with their special effects. But I really like where they went with this episode, specifically focusing on the other kids besides Wendy and her brother, which we thought like Herman and Wendy were like gone for a second. And it's weird how we're taking like silences like with nibs sort of like when she goes to like. touch her eye it's like what is in her her brain realizing that she's a synthetic it's like they're all coming somewhat to terms with how they are as like being part computer part human and we're seeing

Starting point is 00:02:13 that but then we also get introduced to the cyborg guy which now we're like wait are you mostly human and you just have like a metal arm and he's because i thought he was synthetic this whole time me too and then he's like where are your parents and you're like, what, okay, not what we thought. And I love that he downloaded the whatever, the chip to get in the kid's head. And I feel like it's going to come up where the kid is obviously said, yes, he's going to be his friend, some manipulation there. He's now set up a mole. And the fact that he was like, no, this is my mission.

Starting point is 00:02:51 My life's work is these freaking aliens? You're like, dude, what? I just didn't expect. that I think it's really great writing and that obviously continues our story it's going to take a great amount of time because at first I was like if they're going to kill off wendy and hermit what we got to do what we've got to do and now yeah they're they've got it handled yeah oh man my first thought was that Wendy and hermit were the leads of the first two episodes and I was like are they're going to do that thing where they change like who our leads are yeah because

Starting point is 00:03:24 there's so many kids and like everyone seems to be talented so I was like maybe those do a thing where we pivot leads and they die and then we're like, but instead I like that they just like kneecapped him. They took him out this episode but with furthering their narrative because especially at the end seeing whatever's happening to Wendy and how she's connected and whatever

Starting point is 00:03:41 is causing this trauma in her and her brother like taking his lung like there's so much organic matter. Why they take his lot? What's happening? I love that we've got so many questions and how they seem to be like tied together. We still don't know why she's special. We we've used that word a lot and even in this

Starting point is 00:03:57 episode we had the trillionaire kind of making it clear that she is still special but he wants to play like he's so flippant with everything he doesn't he doesn't have any regard for anything and i really think it's cool to see um you know the the the the bioweaponry be his main focus and now the thing that he was about to launch after a decade of work is already old news and i feel like people in you know certain fields of science or or you know ambition where it's like okay that's old news. It's already done. I've completed it. So, like, this passion for the next thing feels really interesting with these two worlds combining. And I feel like this show can really focus on cyborgs and androids and this hybrid concept.

Starting point is 00:04:40 And the xenomorphs can be, like, the world it lives in. And that way, you can get new lore. It's, I didn't feel a lack of xenomorph. I didn't feel a lack of because they're doing a really good job building all this up. So, really impressed. I love this show. Yeah, no. I think this episode is great. great and it continues to not only explore the lore of the alien franchise but explore the character

Starting point is 00:05:04 depth and these conceptual questions of what is human what is synthetic what does it mean to be you know what what is a machine if not a machine and i really love that stuff i feel like the majority this episode is not even about the xenomorphs and the fact that it's still maintaining its sense of being interesting is fascinating to me. I think it's doing a great job overall. I'm really liking the exploration of these other characters that we're getting, especially with the other kids. And, yeah, traditionally a cyborg would mean someone that is part human, part robot.

Starting point is 00:05:44 So I think they said it in like a little opening crawl, but yeah, I think I just like forgot or maybe missed part of it. But I like the fact that we are exploring these different dynamics. and we found a personal way in to our antagonist that is beyond just the essentials of what his mission is. He is tied to this job because this is all he has left because everyone he knows and everything he cared about is gone and died. So this is the last remnants of his purpose.

Starting point is 00:06:15 Otherwise, it was all for nothing. And I really am attracted to that kind of concept, you know, finding a personal way in to something that seems very left-brain, It seems very logical rather than something that's from the heart. And I, yeah, I'm very curious to see where this show goes. And there's just so much mystery around it. It's so much interesting plot, so much mystery, so much about corporations and geniuses,

Starting point is 00:06:42 and this intersection between childhood creativity and intelligence and how those things can be exploited and how those things can be expanded upon. And, yeah, and how desire plays into that as well. You know, we have this one girl who is a genius, learned French in under a week, but yet it still craves daddy's approval.

Starting point is 00:07:05 And he just wants somebody that's as equal, if not smarter than him. So they're both playing into their desires of wanting more. And I think that creates something that is very interesting and potentially insidious. And I'm just, I'm just enthralled with this show. I'm super excited for to see where he goes next. And yeah, I'm excited to watch the next episode.

Starting point is 00:07:27 Reject Nation, I have officially lost over 45 pounds this year. I am still working on a couple of extra goals for body composition development. But I'm proud to say I've done it with no injections, no crash diets. Just pure discipline, consistent training. And yeah, fuel with fuel. Yeah, when I started back in January, I was like 218 pounds. And now I'm averaging between like 171 to 173. And one of the things that's helped me genuinely stay on track with having such a busy schedule,

Starting point is 00:07:58 especially now that we have this, like, office away from my home. I got a fridge right over there that is packed with so much of this. Hewles Black Edition ready to drink. Sting's got 35 grams of protein, 27 essential vitamins and minerals, slow release carbs, and it's actually a complete meal in one bottle. So I'm not just grabbing a snack. I'm really getting some actual fuel in my cells. Oh, man, chocolate and vanilla.

Starting point is 00:08:22 They're my two favorites. To the main staples, and they are to my two favorite ones. No mess, no prep, just grab, drink, and go. Legitimately good taste, no chalky aftertaste. I'm a strict macro plan, and I can fit it into my macro plan. Low sugar, high protein, super efficient. I'm all about efficiency. And flavor selection is pretty good.

Starting point is 00:08:38 My wife actually really likes the iced coffee and the strawberry banana. And if you can't decide between all the wonderful flavors, they got a variety box. And if you're anything like me, variety is a treasure. Best part, each bottle is under five bucks, which is great when you're replacing a whole meal. So not just keeps your body on track, but your wallet on track, too.

Anyway, feel smart, feel good. Thanks to heal for sponsoring this video.

Starting point is 00:09:32 I think there's something really interesting about that concept of innocence and creativity in young minds that I love to see explored in sci-fi. They did a little bit in the matrix where you don't take anyone out of the matrix too old because their brain can't handle the reality of like they're so sure of something so it kind of breaks their reality if they've committed to the reality of the matrix. So you don't pull out adults. And I love the idea of that as a strength here. And I initially thought that'd be kind of the end of that concept of like,

Starting point is 00:10:05 we're going to turn the hybrids where they've got to be kids because they need to accept this reality. But it feels like they're going further and they're pushing that into something that the trillionaire actually is seeking. And like something that he's going to see as something he can't tap into. Like he was a child prodigy. And I didn't even connect the name prodigy of like, when he was young he was a child prodigy and he is still boyish but he's a man so that would be his ability to find someone that thinks differently than him that he might be able to learn from and it's going to be fun to see that chess game play with intelligence and creativity by finding these young people and i well the first episode i even mentioned like memory being a physical means you'll be able to remember everything and how that'll come to play and like this it's just such fun sci-fi like it's such a cool concepts being thrown at us while there's aliens ripping people apart yeah and i feel like that makes

Starting point is 00:10:52 Matrix part is really highlighted with our cyborg because I mean he talked about how he had a daughter and she hated raisins and you're like dude you're like human and now you're the parenthood side of him is like these aliens like that's what he cares about and then I realize that he's doing manipulation with a kid so I would like to see that struggle at some point which I assume he's going to feel a little bit bad by effing with this kid like he's like now a mole Although at the end, when he's like, well, you said, everybody needs a friend. Will you be my friend? So I'm excited to see where that relationship goes specifically and just how he, when he gets to the aliens of what's going to happen. And I feel like because Cavalier almost feels like nobody can touch him. He has all these like now synthetics around him that he can speak to and make exactly how he wants. but I'm very excited to see that when the aliens are there

Starting point is 00:11:56 it's like none of this matters literally none of it none of your French none of this girl could be better than Wendy where's Wendy I freaking miss her she's the shitty synthetic because she cares about her brother none of it matters y'all there's freaking an octopi up in here

Starting point is 00:12:15 that's trying to kill you and also I feel like at the very end they were doing a side by side with wendy on the ground and then the bug going into the lung of the brother and i'm like wait what is this also like now laying a chesty in her at the same time as the lung and we're seeing it side by side i mean i'm kind of thinking maybe because of her whole like her ear obviously there's an alien up in there yeah yeah it's definitely mad freaky and I'm enjoying you know he

Starting point is 00:12:50 Prodigy or Cavalier switched interests or maybe he's like using one interest to work in tandem with his new interest and we see that you know he he prioritizes this insatiable curiosity and quest for knowledge over his own

Starting point is 00:13:09 self-preservation at least it seemed like in that moment because Timothy or Timothy Aliphon like pushed him out the room because he was like yo the thing's after organic materials you need to get the hell out of here and that that quest for for knowledge and the expansion of curiosity not only you know with with the scientific minds but the potential of children but also alien life things that are not of this world and that in and of itself is what's going to cause a lot of death and mayhem because you know when

Starting point is 00:13:42 when is there an end to pursuit? When is there an end to curiosity and that coming at the cost of life? And granted, you have a place that is, you know, it has organic people in there, but there's also a lot of people that are not physically organic, that are synthetic. So, yeah, I just think this reads a recipe for disaster coming forth and just how those things kind of intersect is both very interesting and both very scary and can breed a lot of very bad things to come i can't wait for the next episode yeah same all right you guys are you ready for the next episode let us know down in the comments below we love you guys and we'll see you guys

Starting point is 00:14:28 in the next one deuce
